CHAPTER 3: HARDWARE INSTALLATION
BUILDING A HIGH PERFORMANCE SYSTEM
The dimensions of the 486PH system board are designed to fit
perfectly in a PC/XT (or PC/AT) standard case. To build a
complete high performance system based on the 486PH system
board, the following equipment are needed:
1. A chassis with dimensions similar to PC/XT/AT standard
chassis. The chassis should have a front panel with
connectors for Reset, Power, Keylock, Turbo switch,
Turbo LED, Speaker. AC power cable should be
included with the chassis. A standard AT 230W power
supply should be capable of providing a continuous
power within a +4.75 VDC to +5.25 VDC range. A
power line filter may be needed for areas with noisy
transmission.
2. One or two floppy drives (360K/1.2M/1.44M/2.88M).

disk controller.
4. Video card (Monochrome, CGA, EGA, VGA).
