Memory PLUS Adapter  (250-2062)     Installation       Faxback Doc. # 3189

INTRODUCTION

The Memory PLUS Expansion Adapter is readily installable by you, however,
you can have the kit installed by the service technician at your Radio
Shack Service Center.  Having our service technicians install the kit not
only ensures expert installation, but also enables them to quickly check
to be sure all the equipment is functioning properly.

WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE GETTING STARTED

1.  A Tandy 1000EX or 1000HX with 256K memory.

2.  A Phillips screwdriver.

Note:  Caution should be exercised in low humidity environments to prevent
       damage to electronic parts by static electricity being discharged
       through them.  Discharge any built-up static electricity by
       touching a grounded metal object before proceeding further.

PREPARING THE COMPUTER

1.  Turn off all equipment and disconnect the power cord from the wall
    socket.  If the computer is on, you could damage the central
    processing unit (CPU), as well as your Memory PLUS Expansion Adapter.

2.  Slide the memory compartment lid off the machine.  The lid is removed
    by sliding it toward the back of the computer.

3.  If there is an option board already installed in the expansion slot on
    the main logic board, remove it.

4.  There are three plastic spacers on the back of a Tandy 1000EX or HX,
    held in place by six Phillips screws.  Remove all three spacers.

INSTALLING THE MEMORY PLUS EXPANSION ADAPTER

1.  The Memory PLUS Expansion Adapter must be installed in slot 1, the one
    directly on top of the main logic board.

2.  Carefully install the memory PLUS Expansion Adapter into the main
    logic board expansion slot.  Slide the edge of the Adapter under the
    wires to the disk drive power connector.  Align the pins and the
    connector.  Press the Memory PLUS Expansion Adapter down firmly, but
    gently, to seat it.

    Make sure the Expansion Adapter is seated properly.

3.  Secure the Memory PLUS Expansion Adapter to the back of the computer
    with the screws in the same manner as the plastic spacers were held in
    place.

4.  Carefully install any other option board(s) in the empty expansion
    slot(s) on the Memory PLUS Expansion Adapter by aligning the pins and
    the connector and pressing the board(s) down firmly, but gently, to
    seat them.

5.  If you do not have any upgrade boards, then you should reinstall the
    plastic spacers on slots 2 and 3.  The plastic spacers can be
    separated from each other by bending at the perforations.  Secure with
    the Phillips screws.

6.  Replace the memory compartment cover.

The Memory PLUS board is now ready for use!
