Installation
If you have not already removed the cover from the //e, do so now. Next
locate tile power supply. It is the large metal box sitting on the left side of
the motherboard. Before touching a peripheral card or other sensitive
components, it is a good idea to ground static electricity by touching, with
your fingers, the top of the power supply case.
Now locate the auxiliary connector slot. It is about an inch to the right of the
front (toward the keyboard) of the power supply, and is identified by the words
“AUX. CONNECTOR” printed on the motherboard alongside it (see Figure
2.3). The MultiRam RGB Card is to be installed in this slot.
If there is another 80-column card in the auxiliary slot, remove it before
continuing. With the power off, pull up on the card while rocking it back and
forth until it pulls free of the slot. If it is a 64K auxiliary memory card, you
may want to remove the RAM chips and install them on the MultiRam RGB
before proceeding (see “Installing Additional Memory” in this chapter).
Hold the RGB Card with the sockets and components facing to the right. The
front of tile card slopes downward from the top and should face toward the
keyboard. Due to the design of the card, it cannot be inserted any other way.
Insert the foot of the card, the gold-fingered connector, into the auxiliary
connector slot. Use a gentle back-and-forth rocking motion along the length
of tile card to seat it.
Check the MultiRam card to be certain it is seated firmly into the slot and is
not loose. Replace the cover of the Apple.
Now turn to Chapter 3 to test your new card for proper functioning.
