Quick Start Guide for Crescendo/WS

Move RAM (Memory) From Processor Card to Crescendo/WS

Depending on the configuration of your PowerBook, your processor card may

have RAM modules installed on both sides of the processor card.

Support Note:

Do not touch the RAM modules' connectors; always

handle RAM only by its edges.

1. Turn the processor card over so the two connectors are face up (Figure 11).

Grasping the processor card by its edges, gently spread apart the retainer clips

on both sides of the RAM module (Figure 11); the module will pop up.

Remove the module and set it aside on a static-free surface.

2. Remove the Crescendo/WS (Figure 12) from its anti-static package, making

sure to handle the card by its edges.

Support Note:

If you are installing two RAM modules into the

Crescendo/WS card, be sure to install them into the expansion slots that

correspond to those on the original processor card. When you install RAM, note

that the modules are designed to fit into the slot only one way; align the notch

in the module to the guide in the slot.

3. Turn the Crescendo/WS over, so that the two connectors are face up

(Figure 13). Align the RAM module removed from the bottom of the origi-

nal processor card with the RAM slot on the Crescendo/WS, and insert it at a

30˚ angle, all the way into the slot (Figure 13).

4. Gently push down on the RAM module until the retainer clips snap into

place (Figure 14).

5. If there is a second RAM module installed on the processor card, remove it,

then install it on the Crescendo/WS card following the same procedure as for

the first RAM module.

6. Place the original processor card in the Crescendo card's anti-static bag, and

store it in a safe place.

Install the Crescendo/WS

1. Turn the Crescendo/WS so that the connectors are face down, and the tabs

on the edge of the card are facing left (Figure 15). Grasping the card by its

right edge and the edge of its RAM slot, carefully insert the tabs into the

processor card shield and align the connectors on the bottom of the card

with the corresponding connectors on the logic board (Figure 15).
