Connector and Jumper Settings
Before installing the 80486VESA system board, make sure the
connectors and jumper settings are set for your configuration.
The 80486VESA system board has two jumpers (JP9,
JP1O)
for the
CPU Type selection, and two jumpers (JP12, JP13) for the Cache
Size selection. Connectors are also provided for the front panel
interface between the system board and the computer chassis.
The functions and settings of each connector and jumper setting
are explained as follows (see Figure 1, page 11 for locations).

is used to reboot the system and will allow safe re-initialization of
the system at any time. The connector should always be set in the
