INTRODUCTION!

This manual has been designed for several purposes. If the SL 486VE is

already set up in a functioning system, it will be helpful to reviewthe manual

to become familiar with the features of the board and where things are. This

will be helpful in the unlikely event there is a problem with the system.

For those who want to alter the board's configuration or upgrade it, the

manual will serve as a guide to both procedures and specifications. While

the necessary information is included in the manual, we recommend that

unless you feel confident of your ability to do the work, it would be best to

have your dealer or a local service shop do it. Before making alterations to

the system, check to see that doing so will not violate the system warranty. If

it does, have the work done by an authorized dealer.

The "chip set"consists of six chips; SiS85C411/420/431/405/406, which incor-

porate most of the logic required for a low-cost, highly integrated IBM PC

AT-compatible computer.

IMPORTANT: The chip set requires correct configuration in-

formation; otherwise a malfunction may result.

CAUTION: Static electricity can cause serious damage to

integrated circuit chips. To avoid building up a

static electric charge on your body, touch a

grounded object before touching the chips and

at frequent intervals as you handle the chips. If

chips are handed from one person to another,

the two should touch hands first, then pass the

chips.
