automatically when the RamPak 4GS is properly installed 
in your Apple. Your computer knows to look for available 
memory every time you turn it on, so the RamPak's 
expansion benefits are immediately realized. Memory 
management is up to you. It is accomplished through 
use of the RamPak system utilities, which may be 
implemented at any time once the RamPak 4GS is 
installed. This manual is structured along these 
guidelines, beginning with the procedure to install and 
expand the RamPak card, then continuing with the 
proper installation and use of the utilities software. This 
will enable you to experience the advantages of an 
expanded system immediately, and to take advantage of 
efficient memory management as you wish.
INSTALLATION OF THE RAMPAK INTO
THE APPLE IIGS
This section will instruct you how to physically install
the RamPak 4GS in your Apple IIGS. Once this is 
completed, your Apple’s internal addressable memory 
will be increased by the amount of RAM present on the 
RamPak 4GS. As both the Apple IIGS and the RamPak 
4GS implement automatic memory configuration, no 
resetting of switches or jumpers will be required to 
recognize memory additions. Your system is smart 
enough to use whatever memory configuration you 
install.
Installing the RamPak 4GS requires no additional
hardware. Simply clear a modest area around your Apple 
IIGS, and remove the monitor and any other 
devices from the top of the CPU.
