Figure 4 - Apple IIc Motherboard
Touch the disk drive housing. Remove the Rocketchip
from the
protective package. Look at Figure 4 and install the Rocketchip in the
motherboard socket as shown. Please notice that RocketChip Pin *1 is marked
and that all of the part number markings for devices on the motherboard and
the Rocketchip are readable and oriented the same way. Before pushing
RocketChip fully into the socket, make sure that Pin *1 is oriented correctly
and that all 40 pins of the RocketChip are properly aligned in the socket and
that they are not bent.
STEP #4: Replacing the Apple IIc Keyboard and Cover.
Gently unfold the keyboard and place it back into position, making sure
that the keyboard tabs are inserted in the slots in the disk drive housing.
Replace the top cover and engage the plastic latches. Turn the computer over
and replace the six bottom screws that you removed in Step #1.
STEP #5: System Check
Turn on the system power. The monitor screen will be cleared and within 2
seconds you will receive the system prompt and a beep. If you do not get the
beep, or if the screen has a checkboard, or if the screen is full of “garbage
characterS”, then RocketChip is not properly installed. IMMEDIATELY TURN THE
POWER OFF, otherwise RocketChip could be damaged. Please review the
installation instructions and make sure that all of the pins are OK and that
RocketChip is installed in the correct socket and that Pin #1 is correctly
located.
