ABOUT THIS GUIDE
This guide contains instructions for configuring and installing the GMB-486UN
mainboard.
• Chapter 1, Introduction, acquaints user with the special features of the GMB-
486UN mainboard.
• Chapter 2, Hardware Configuration, gives information on configuring
memory and setting the mainboard's jumpers. Brief sections on installing
memory are also included.
• Chapter 3, Mainboard Installation, is an overview of how to install the
mainboard in a system.
• Chapter 4, BIOS Setup, provides the BIOS information for system
configuration.
• Chapter 5, Hard Disk Types, provides a Default fixed Disk table.
• Chapter 6, Error Codes, provides references for all POST communicate errors.
The information presented in this publication has been carefully checked for reliability;
however, no responsibility is assumed for inaccuracies, whereas, specification is
subjected to change without notice.
All rights reserved. No part of this Manual may be reproduced in any form without the
written permission.

UNPACKING THE MAINBOARD
Note: Do not remove the mainboard from its original packing until ready to install.
1. Touch an unpainted area of the system chassis before handling the mainboard
or any component. Doing so, discharges the static charge user's body may
have built.
2. Remove the mainboard from its anti-static wrapping and place it on a grounded
surface, component side up.
3. Inspect the mainboard for damage. Shipping may have loosened integrated
circuits from their sockets. If any integrated circuit appears loose, press
carefully to seat it firmly in this socket.
Do not apply power if the mainboard appears damaged. If there is damage to the board,
or items are missing, contact dealer immediately.

CHAPTER 2 HARDWARE
CONFIGURATION
This chapter describes how to set the mainboard jumpers for cache memory and display
type, and how to install memory modules.
Before beginning the configuration, user should take the following precautions:
• Turn off the power supply, and unplug the power cord before begin.
• Unplug all cables that connect the mainboard to any external devices.
The speed of the SRAM chips needed depends on the clock speed of the
microprocessor:
50MHz CPU requires 20ns (tag) and 20ns (data) SRAM chips for SRAM
interleaved.
50MHz CPU requires 20ns (tag) and 25ns (data) SRAM chips for SRAM not
interleaved.
33MHz CPU requires 25ns (tag) and 25ns (data) SRAM chips.
25MHz CPU requires 35ns (tag) and 35ns (data) SRAM chips.

2. Align the chip so that the notched corner of the chip matches the
notched corner of the socket.

Hardware Configuration
Four SIMM sockets are provided in each bank. User can install either a 256K,
1M, or 4M SIMM in each socket. Note that all SIMM modules in a bank must
be the same capacity.
SIMM speed required for best performance depends on the CPU speed, which
requires 70ns SIMM.
1M NONE 4MB
256K 1M 5MB
1M 1M 8MB
4M NONE 16MB
1M 4M 20MB
4M 1M 20MB
4M 4M 32MB
2. Align the SIMM module so that the pin-1 marking on the module
corresponds to the socket pin-1 marking.
3. Hold the module at a 70-degree angle to the socket, and insert the
module's connectors into the socket.
5. To fill a bank, repeat steps 1 through 4 until the sockets in each bank
contain SIMMs.
6. After installing memory, run BIOS Setup to indicate to the system for
how much memory the user has installed.
CHAPTER 3 MAINBOARD
INSTALLATION
Once the GMB-486UN mainboard's hardware has been configured, the user is now
ready to install the mainboard into the system chassis. This chapter describes what are
needed to assemble an advanced computer system based on the GMB-486UN
mainboard.
3.1 COMPONENTS
The following components are recommended:
• Case with standard chassis and hardware. The GMB-486UN fits most
AT compatible cases.
• 8 ohm speaker
• Flat ribbon cables to connect disk drive controller and disk drive(s)
• AT-compatible keyboard.
A description of each connector and its connector pins follows. See Fig 6 for
the location of the connectors on the mainboard.

2. Press the <DEL> key to enter the AMI BIOS setup program and the following
screen appears:
STANDARD CMOS SETUP
ADVANCED CMOS SETUP
ADVANCED CHIPSET SETUP
AUTO CONFIGURATION WITH BIOS DEFAULTS

3. Choose an option and press <Enter>. Modify the system parameters to reflect
the options installed in the system. (See the following sections for more
information).
5. In the Main Menu, choose "WRITE TO CMOS AND EXIT" to save changes
and reboot the system. Choosing "DO NOT WRITE TO CMOS AND EXIT"
ignores all changes and exists the program.

2. Use the arrow keys to move between items and to select values. Modify the
selected fields using the PgUp/PgDn keys. Some fields let user enter numeric
values directly.
3. After user finished with the Standard CMOS Setup program, press the <ESC>
key. The following appears:
"Write to CMOS and Exit (Y/N)?"
4. Typing "N" and <Enter> returns user to the Main Menu. Typing "Y" and
<Enter> saves the system parameters and the system reboots.

2. Use the arrow keys to move between items and to select values.
Modify the selected fields by using the PgUp/PgDn keys. An
explanation of the <F> keys follows:
<F5>: Get the old values. These values are the values with which
the user started the current session. If the CMOS
was good, then the old values are either the CMOS
values or the BIOS Setup default values.
3. After user has finished with the Advanced CMOS Setup program,
press the <ESC> key. the following appears:
"Write to CMOS and Exit (Y/N)?"
4. Typing "N" and <Enter> returns user to the Main Menu. typing "Y"
and <Enter> saves the system parameters and the system reboots.

fields using the PgUp/PgDn keys. An explanation of the <F> keys are shown
on pg22 of this manual.
3. After finishing with the Advance Chipset Setup, press the <ESC> key. The
following appears:
"Write to CMOS and Exit (Y/N)?"
4. Typing "N" and <Enter> returns user to the Main Menu. Typing "Y" and
<Enter> saves the system parameters and the system reboots.
BIOS Setup (
"Load BIOS Setup Default Values from ROM Table (Y/N)? N"
To use the BIOS defaults, change the prompt to "Y" and press <Enter>. The
following message appears:
To use the Power-On defaults, change the prompt to "Y" and press <Enter>.
The following message appears:
When user next boot the system, after saving changed value to CMOS, user
will be prompted for the password.
If user is not prompted for the password, check that the "Password Checking
Option" in the Advanced CMOS Setup is configured for "Always" or "Setup".
See the section above on "Advanced CMOS Setup."
When the password prompt appears, key in the new password and press
<Enter>. If loose or disconnected batteries corrupt the CMOS, use the default
password, <AMI> instead.
• Hard Disk Format - performs a "low level" format of the hard disk.
Check with the hard drive manufacturer to see if this option is
required.
BIOS Setup
Error messages specific to the Hard Disk Utility options may appear during
initialization or operation. Refer to Chapter 6 for a list of these messages.
