I'm having trouble setting up the jumpers of 486 motherboard.

I have DC chips motherboard, but can't find any manual for it. The CPU I am installing is an Intel i486 DX2 A80486DX2-66. As I checked, this is a 5V CPU. I am afraid that I will damage the board or the CPU with wrong jumper settings. Are the jumpers set OK? How about those red jumpers (for voltage). Any help would be appreciated.

Voltage is set to 3.3V. For 5V, move all three jumpers of JP26 from 1-2 to 2-3.

All jumpers are described on the board, so why do you need the manual?

Thank you Sammler. This is my first time setting the jumpers like this, so I was unsure about it.

Think the reds also 5V for Intel DX2? But you wont damage anything when trying 3.3.
Also very low risk of damage when selecting wrong frequency for a short time...

I have the same:

As far as I remember it was running with the settings shown on the picture...
