INTRODUCTION The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) is a new port on the Host-To-PCI bridge device that supports an AGP port. The main purpose of the AGP port is to provide fast access to system memory. The AGP port can be used either as fast PCI port (32-bits at 66MHz vs. 32- bits at 33MHz) or as an AGP port which supports 2x data-rate, a read queue, and side band addressing.
SPECIFICATION • − 2-channel Ultra DMA/33 Enhanced IDE port on IDE PORTS board.(Using IRQ14,15) − Supports Mode 3,4 IDE & ATAPI CD – ROM. • − Supports 2 x16550 COM ports. (Using IRQ4, 3) I/O PORTS − Supports 1 x EPP/ECP LPT port. (Using IRQ7 or 5 and DMA3 or 1) −...
586SGX 3. HARDWARE INSTALLATION 3.1. UNPACKING The mainboard package should contain the following: • The 586SGX mainboard. • USER’S MANUAL for mainboard. • Cable set for IDE ¡ B Floppy. • Diskette for Mainboard Utility. The mainboard contains sensitive electric components which can be easily damaged by static electricity, so the mainboard should be left in its original packing until it is installed.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION The total memory size is 8 - 768 MB. For the DRAM installation position, please refer to Figure 3.1. Note that the Pin 1 of SIMM module must match with the Pin 1 of SIMM socket when the DRAM SIMM module is installed.
586SGX 3.5. SRAM INSTALLATION Sync. SRAM (Pipeline Burst SRAM) If Sync SRAM Chip is installed, it consists of Pipeline Burst 1 Pc 64 K x 64 512KByte. There is no jumper for cache size setting. 3.6. CPU INSTALLATION AND JUMPERS SETUP The system speed depends on the frequency of CLOCK GENERATOR.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION There is a speaker in AT system for sound purpose. The 4 - Pins connector SPK is used to connect speaker. The speaker can work well in both direction of connector when it is installed to the connector SPK on mainboard. 3.9.
586SGX 4. BIOS CONFIGURATION Award's BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in battery-backed CMOS SRAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.
