CHAPTER ONE

Getting Started

+ Note: If you’re using GS-RAM III with the

RamKeeper, plug it into the front side of the
RamKeeper only.

This chapter tells you how to install and test the GS-RAM
III memory expansion card. Before you install your

memory-expansion card, please be sure you are familiar
with Setting UP Your Apple IIGs and the Apple IIGS
Owner’s Guide.
You’ll need to be particularly familiar
with the Control Panel functions as this manual makes
frequent reference to the Control Panel menu.

Installation

1) Turn off the computer.

Leave the computer plugged in but flip the power
switch to the OFF position.

2) Remove the Apple IIGS cover.

Locate the two latches on either side of the backplate.
Push in on the latches while pulling up and back on
the lid.

3) Touch the power supply case.

The case is shown in the illustration below. This will
discharge any static electricity that may be on your
body. Do not skip this step. Static electricity can ruin
chips on the board and in the computer.

4) Remove the memory-expansion card from Its anti-

static bag.

Hold the card by the edges, like a photograph. Do not
touch the gold fingers of the card.

5) Check the position of the switches.

The switches are located toward the top left edge of
the card. The position of the switches lets the
computer know how much memory is on the card.
(Refer to following illustration.)
