The DP486 (Data Processor 486) for Hicom 300/300E, is the central control processor of the SWU and the servers. The processor's pin assignments are identical to those of its predecessors DP86, DPM, DPML, DP386 and DP3DM, and the software used is also largely compatible.
The front panel of the board contains 2 keys (monitor and reset), 3 LEDs (RUN, READY and ACTIVE), a 7-segment display and a V.24 interface.
