Figure 4 - Apple IIc Motherboard

Touch the disk drive housing.

Remove the Rocket

chip

from the

protective package. Look at Figure 4 and install the Rocketchip in the

motherboard socket as shown. Please notice that

RocketChip

Pin *1 is marked

and that all of the part number markings for devices on the motherboard and

the Rocketchip are readable and oriented the same way. Before pushing

RocketChip

fully into the socket, make sure that Pin *1 is oriented correctly

and that all 40 pins of the

RocketChip

are properly aligned in the socket and

that they are not bent.

STEP #4:

Replacing the Apple IIc Keyboard and Cover.

Gently unfold the keyboard and place it back into position, making sure

that the keyboard tabs are inserted in the slots in the disk drive housing.

Replace the top cover and engage the plastic latches. Turn the computer over

and replace the six bottom screws that you removed in Step #1.

STEP #5:

System Check

Turn on the system power. The monitor screen will be cleared and within 2

seconds you will receive the system prompt and a beep. If you do not get the

beep, or if the screen has a checkboard, or if the screen is full of “garbage

characterS”, then RocketChip is not properly installed. IMMEDIATELY TURN THE

POWER OFF, otherwise

RocketChip

could be damaged. Please review the

installation instructions and make sure that all of the pins are OK and that

RocketChip

is installed in the correct socket and that Pin #1 is correctly

located.
