Remove the board from its protective anti-static packaging and, with SIMM
socket (see fig. 2.1 on page 7) facing toward the back panel of the computer,
gently ease it onto the gold edge connector in the expansion slot (see fig.
1.2). Take great care that the memory expansion board is flush with the
connector and not at an angle. Press the board in firmly so as to create a
good connection (see fig. 1.3) and replace the plastic trapdoor panel.

Turn your computer over and replace all cable connections and peripherals.
7.
Connect your Amiga to the power source.

Insert the Workbench disk into the floppy disk drive.
9.
Power up. If the power light does not come on, or the A1200 does not start
up correctly, turn the power off immediately and re-check your connections.
To check your memory, load Workbench. You should notice on the top line of the
display that you now have some “OTHER MEMORY”. This amount should show
approximately as follows:

trapdoor as it holds your expansion board in position.
