PCI/ISA System Board v Installation Overview This chapter summarizes the steps in installing the G486VPB system board into your system unit. Preparing the Area Before unpacking the system board, make sure the location you have selected is relatively free of dust and static electricity. Excessive exposure to dust, static electricity, direct sunlight, excessive humidity, extreme cold, and water can damage the operational capabilities of your system board. Avoid placing the unit on soft surfaces su

G486VPB Static electrical discharge can damage computer compo- nents without causing any signs of physical damage. You must take extra care in handling the system board to ensure against electrostatic build-up. Tips in Handling the System Board 1) To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the board in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it. 2) Wear an antistatic wriststrap. 3) Do all preparation work on a static-free surface with components facing up. 4) Hold the system board by it

PCI/ISA System Board Cache Configuration The G486VPB system board can be configured to three different cache sizes: 128KB (default size), 256KB, and 512KB. Regardless of the amount of cache memory installed, one 8Kx8 or 32Kx8 is needed for tag RAM to store the cacheable addresses. The locations of the SRAM sockets and Jumpers JP10-JP14 on the system board are shown below. Locations of the SRAM Sockets and Jumpers JP10-JP14 on the G486VPB System Board 14
