INSTALLATION

The posts on the bottom of the card are installed at the factory. These posts help level and support the card.

The holes at the top of the card are to add keyboard support posts. These posts need to be installed by you before inserting the card into the computer. These posts directly support the keyboard.

Speaker Connector Port

On the bottom left aide of the card is a round hole. You will insert the //c’s moles speaker connector through this hole and onto the two pins underneath it after installing the MultiRam C Card into the Apple.

Connector Pins

Turn the card upside down so that you can examine the bottom of the card. Remove the anti—static foam from the sets of pins on the bottom of the card to inspect the pins.

There are four rows of pins, each row containing twenty pins. These pins must be straight and parallel to one another to be correctly inserted into the CPU and MMU sockets on the //c motherboard. They must not be damaged or you will not be able to insert the card into the //c. Always cover these pins with the anti—static foam whenever the card is out of the computer to avoid damaging the pins by accident. Reinsert the foam over the pins.

INSTALLING ADDITIONAL MEMORY

The MultiRam C Card has two banks of eight sockets labeled Bank A and Bank B. Either a set of eight 256K or 64K dynamic RAM chips may be installed in each bank.

With the two banks, there are three memory combinations possible as Table 2.1 shows. A 64K and 128K combination are not shown as each card is shipped with a minimum of 256K in Bank A.
