CHAPTER 1
About this board
The J-426 design based on ALI 1487 & 1489 80486 system chip & Winbond I/O chipset,
it can works on all kinds 80486DX CPU. As this board is aiming at the demand of multimedia and industry PC, so the board size lessen to be 22*17cm, but it can fully match
with future specification needs. Such as it supports EDO & standard fast page DRAM,
high performance PCI BUS, enhance I/O & IDE on board ... etc. It should be the best
choice for 486 system board.

HARD WARE INSTALLATION
2-1 INSTALL THE SYSTEM CPU PROCESSOR
The CPU ZIF socket locate U13
Raise the ZIF socket retaining arm to the open position. Pin coordinates A-1 well be
in the arm corner
Position the notched corner of microprocessor over the notched corner of the ZIF
socket and align the pins of CPU over the socket
carefully insert the aligned CPU into the ZIF socket and press firmly. After CPU to
ensure it is installed in the correct direction and pin aligned properly
2-2 Set the CPU relevant jumpers to correctly configure the CPU
type, CPU clock and CPU voltage
CPU Type:There are Intel, AMD Cyrix UMC and other compatible CPU. Essentially,
make sure which type of CPU you use and set the jumper
