Installation
CARD CARE
Always ground yourself before handling or touching the MultiRam RGB Card.
Touch any metal object to discharge static electricity from your body. Static
electricity, which can build up on your body, can damage RAM chips.
Handle the MultiRam RGB Card carefully by the edges. Do not flex your card
when handling it as this can lead to weakening of connections.
Avoid touching the gold-plated fingers at the bottom of the card. These
contacts must be clean because they connect the MultiRam RGB to the Apple.
Clean these contacts if needed with isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab.
Never insert your card into or remove it from the computer while the Apple’s
power is on. You can damage the card, the Apple, and other cards in the
Apple’s slots. This will void your MultiRam RGB warranty.
When installing additional RAM, as discussed later, try to minimize the
number of times RAM is inserted into and removed from the MultiRam
RGB’s sockets. Even our quality sockets will be degraded by excessive
insertion and removal of RAM chips.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
After unpacking die MultiRam RGB card, carefully set it down flat on a clean,
dry surface, with the sockets and other components facing up. Place the card
so that the gold-fingered connector at the bottom of the card is facing toward
you. Compare your card with Figure 21 and locate the following components.
Ram Groups
There are four groups of sockets on the card into which RAM chips can be
inserted: RAM Group A, RAM Group B, RAM Group C. and RAM Group D.
RAM Group A is the most important of the four groups. Either 64K or 256K
RAM chips MUST be present in this bank for 80-column video to operate and
for all programs requiring auxiliary memory to work. RAM Group A is
located across the top center of the card. RAM Group A consists of eight
sockets, labeled Al to A8.
