IBM PS/2 486DX33 Processor Upgrade Card (for Models 8570 8580) (Upgraded systems should have a P1 label placed on the front cover.) Type 8570 FRU P/N 92F0436 MKT P/N xxxxxxx Type 8580 FRU P/N 92F0437 MKT P/N xxxxxxx The IBM PS/2 486DX33 Processor Upgrade for Models 70 and 80 is an i486 accelerator for 16 MHz and 20 MHz 80386-based computers. (Type 8570 "short" and "long" board version) (Type 8580 Model 041 071 111 121 311 321 081 and 161 - 16 MHZ or 20 MHz only) You must use 8570/80 Reference Diskette Version 1.10 or later. Important In some cases, with the Processor Upgrade installed, the diagnostic tests for some Micro Channel adapters might indicate that the adapter is failing when the adapter actually operates correctly. If you experience this problem, do the following: Set SW-1 on the Processor Upgrade to OFF (SW-1 OFF = cache disable for testing purposes !) If you hear ONE-long and TWO-short beeps when the computer starts, then this is normal if there is an 8514/A adapter installed. The Upgrade Option package contains: Model 70 or Model 80 Processor Upgrade 132-Pin Socket Extender (only needed for 8570) Module-removal tool for extracting 80386 processor Option Diskette 70 486 or Model 80 486 Logo Co-processor compatibility plug (not included in FRU P/N 92F0436) Sheet of system labels Default Switch settings: +-------------------------------------------------------+ |Switch Bank 1 |SW-1|SW-2|SW-3|SW-4|SW-5|SW-6|SW-7|SW-8| |---------------+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----| | |ON |ON |Off |ON |ON |ON |ON |Off | +-------------------------------------------------------+ Switch function 1 ON (default) Cache on OFF Cache off 2 ON (default) Cache HIMEM enabled OFF Do not flush cache on INT 9 3 ON Cache enabled C000-D000 OFF (default) Cache disabled C000-D000 4 ON (default) Cache system BIOS enabled OFF Cache system BIOS disabled 5 ON (default) do not change OFF Not applicable 6 ON (default) XGA video adapter (slows processor speed) OFF No XGA present 7 ON (default) cache all extended memory OFF Disable cache above 14MB 8 ON Delay write cycles OFF (default) fast write cycles Installing the Processor Upgrade 1. Upgrade the Backup-Referencediskette (V-1.10 or higher) with the shipped Option diskette. (use the COPY AN OPTION DISKETTE function) 2. Power-OFF the computer 3. Remove the Power-Cable 4. Open/lift the Machine cover 5. Remove Hard Disk(s) / Adapters (so you can freely operate with the already installed processor) 6. Locate the Processor on the System Board (Pin 1) 7. Remove the Processor (80386) 8. Remove the Co-processor ((80387) if any is installed) 9. If the machine is a 8570 and the processor is nearby the power supply fan then insert the 132-Pin socket extender (Pin-1 to Pin-1) into the 80386 socket. 10.Install the Co-processor compatibility plug into the Co-processor socket. (be sure PIN-1 to PIN-1) 11.Install the Processor Upgrade Board into the Processor socket (be sure PIN-1 to Pin-1) 12.Reinstall all previously removed Cable/Adapter 13.Reconnect the Power cord 14.Power-ON the system 15.Run Setup / Test Utilities on the Upgrade Option Diskette To control the cache speed under DOS (but not a DOS session under OS/2) without restarting the computer, insert the Option Diskette in drive A and at the prompt: 1. Type A: to change to the root directory of drive A. 2. Type slow to disable the cache --- or --- Type fast to enable the cache. Some known Problems Cannot load Application Program The application program might be speed sensitive. Refer to the application program manual for information on speed (memory caching) requirements. See also in above Switch-table "Memory caching" above. Application Program Displays Damaged Data Is an 80387 Coprocessor installed ? If yes then remove the Coprocessor and install the Coprocessor compatibility plug. Cannot Load Windows 3.0 in Enhanced Mode Check the CONFIG.SYS file for a line device=C:\windows\smartdrv.sys 2048 1024 and change it to the following: device=C:\windows\smartdrv.sys 2048 1024 \b- This problem occurs only with the version of Smartdrive supplied with Windows V-3.0 and DOS V-5.0. The Smartdrive supplied with Windows V-3.1 does not have this problem, nor does it use the same syntax (enabling/disabling double buffering).
