Congratulations on your purchase of the Kingston 486/Now! Processor upgrade board
which replaces the 386 microprocessor chip in your computer. The 486/Now! provides
your computer with a 486DX or 486SX microprocessor, and increases its power and
performance to levels found only in much more expensive 486 machines.
The 486/Now! processor upgrade offers the highest performance for DOS, OS/2, and
Windows applications. It is 100% compatible with the 386 CPU.
The 486/Now! processor upgrade includes these important features:
•On board 33Mhz DX, 33Mhz SX or 25Mhz SX processor
•Built-In Math-Coprocessor (DX version only)
•8K of Internal Code and Data Cache.
•Paged, Virtual Memory Management.
•Does not use an expansion slot.
486/33PD3, 486/33PS3 & 486/25PD3 Support These Machines:
All IBM PS/2 MODEL 80 machines
All IBM PS/2 MODEL 70 machines
Except B series (i.e. 8570-B21, B61) These machines are factory
equipped with 486 processors.
486/33PD3-P70 & 486/33PS3-P70 Support This Machine:

The Kingston Technology 486/Now! Processor upgrade board has 3 different board
type models. Each board type is available with either a 33Mhz DX or 33Mhz SX
version. There is also a 25Mhz SX version for the PS/2 Model 70 and 80 computers.
The first board type, model 486/33PD3, 486/33PS3 or 486/25PS3 support PS/2
Models 70 and 80. See Figure 1-1 and 1-2. The second and third board types support
the PS/2 P70 portable. The 486/33PD3-P70 and 486/33PS3-P70 support the P70
20Mhz model 8573-061. See Figure 1-3 and 1-4. The CPU socket is located to the
right of the SIMM sockets on the system board. The 486/33PD-P70LP and
486/33PS3-P70LP support the 16Mhz model 8573-031 and the 20Mhz model 8573-
121. These system boards have the CPU socket located above the SIMM memory
sockets. This board type also supports the PS/2 Model 5530. See Figure 1-5 and 1-6.
The 486/Now! contains a 4-switch block (SW1) mounted to the processor upgrade
board. These four switches must be set to your specific computer motherboard's
speed. The IBM PS/2 Model 70 and 80 can have either a 16Mhz, 20Mhz, or 25Mhz
system board. There is only one setting for the P70 Models, but they are listed
separately by board type. Use the following table to determine which motherboard
you have and match the appropriate switch settings to SW1 on the 486/Now! upgrade.

* Note: SW1 Switch 4 default is set to the ON position. This allows the 486/Now processor to run
POST (Power-On-Self-Test) at a fast 486 level. In some cases, an 8603 mouse error will occur because
of the faster speed. Also if an IBM XGA adapter is installed in the system and a display problem occurs,
changing Switch 4 to OFF should correct either problem.
Remove the 386 CPU chip on the motherboard by using the IC removal tool. Carefully
insert the IC removal tool on one side between the 386 CPU chip and the socket.
Gently pry upward to lift just a little, then lift slightly from other side. Alternate
between sides until the chip is completely out of the socket. (Save the 386 CPU chip
so you can re-install it if you ever need to return temporarily to the old configuration).
See Figure 2-1.
Note: You may remove the Fixed Disk Drive, Floppy Drive, Adapter Card, and the
internal holder chassis to clear the area for easier installation.
STEP 4
Remove the 387 Math-Coprocessor on motherboard, if present, by inserting the IC
removal tool on one side between the 387 FPU chip and the socket. Gently pry upward
to lift just a little, then try other side until the chip is completely out of the socket. See

102 SYSTEM BOARD ERROR ON IBM PS/2 MODEL 70-20MHZ.
This error may occur if the battery has been replaced or removed long enough to clear
CMOS setup. With the 486 processor, some machines may experience a 102 error due
to variations in motherboard timings. To correct, re-install the 80386DX Processor
and run AUTOMATIC CONFIGURATION or SET CONFIGURATION from IBM
Reference diskette, then re-install KINGSTON 486/33PD3 or 48625PS3, run
AUTOMATIC CONFIGURATION, and this problem should not occur again.
162 MATH-COPROCESSOR INSTALLED/REMOVED.
To eliminate this error run AUTOMATIC CONFIGURATION or SET
CONFIGURATION from IBM Reference diskette.
225 WRONG SPEED MEMORY ON MODEL 70 - 16MHz
Change switch settings. Refer to M70 16MHz Figure 3 for correct switch settings.
8603 MOUSE INTERRUPT
This error occurs on some mouse devices during Fast POST (Power-On-Self-Test).

Check SW1 switches for correct configuration setting. See "Switch Settings" on page
5.
VIDEO CHECK ERROR
In some machines using an 8514A Micro Channel Video Adapter you will experience
a long beep during bootup. This is to indicate the CPU is not running at the expected
rate. This video check does not in any way affect the performance or integrity of the
machine.
