By following this procedure you will have properly installed the RamPak 4GS, and any software designed to use higher RAM levels will now automatically take advantage of your powerful new system.

1.With all drives empty, turn on the Apple IIGS. Press CTRL-RESET after the start-up cycle to generate a cursor.

2.When the cursor appears press CTRL- -ESC (pressing all three keys together and releasing CTRL last) to open the IIGS Desk Accessory menu. Select Control Panel with the up and down arrow keys and press RETURN.

3.Select RAM DISK with the up and down arrow keys and press return. The screen will now display the available system memory and the amount available for the RAM disk. Your IIGS will not use its 256K internal RAM for the RAM disk, thus the difference. If installation has been successful and no other software is currently loaded, the number shown as available for the RAM disk should be that of your RamPak 4GS memory level.

4.Exit from Desk Accessories by selecting QUIT from any visible menu and pressing RETURN.
