G586IPBS v Installation Overview This chapter summarizes the steps in installing the G586IPBS system board into your system unit. It also includes a description of the area in which you must work and directions for memory installation. Before installing the system board, obtain the memory you plan to install.
G586IPBS Handling the System Board It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your system board even before installing it to your system unit. Static electrical discharge can damage computer components without causing any signs of physical damage. You must take extra care in handling the system board to ensure against electrostatic build-up.
G586IPBS Hardware Installation Memory Installation The G586IPBS system board can support 8MB to 128MB of memory using 72-pin SIMMs (Single In-line Memory Mod- ule). The SIM sockets are divided into two banks on the system board. Each bank consists of 2 SIMM sockets. The G586IPBS system board uses 1Mx36, 2Mx36, 4Mx36 and 8Mx36 SIMMs.
G586IPBS Installing the Modules A SIM module simply snaps into a socket on the system board. Pin 1 of the SIM module must correspond with Pin 1 of the socket. 1. Position the SIMM above the socket with the “notch” in the module aligned with the “key”...

G586IPBS Jumper JP2 Password Clear If you set a password in the “Password Setting” option and forget your password, power off your system and set Jumper JP2 to On to clear the password stored in your CMOS. Now power on your system. After your system has detected the floppy or hard drive, turn it off again and set JP2 to Off.

G586IPBS Note: Jumpers JP51 and JP52 are available only on the G586IPBS system board that supports Winbond W83787F or SMC FD37C665GT super I/O controller. Jumper JP51 ECP DRQ/DACK Select The G586IPBS system board supports an ECP parallel port that allows you to use DMA Request (DRQ) Channel 1 or 3 and DMA Acknowledge (DACK) Channel 1 or 3.
G586IPBS Cache Configuration The G586IPBS system board supports 3.3V pipeline burst or asynchronous cache SRAM installed in the 160-pin cache module slot. The board can be configured to the following cache sizes: 256KB and 512KB. Installing the Cache Module Cache Module Slot 1.
Page 22
G586IPBS 2. Once the cache module has been installed, make sure the “External Cache” option in the “BIOS Features Setup” menu of the Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility is set to “Enabled”. Note: With the cache module installed in the cache module slot, the...
G586IPBS VRM Header Your G586IPBS system board is equipped with a VRM (Voltage Regulation Module) header shown below. It allows you to upgrade to future low-voltage CPUs by installing a Voltage Regulation Module. VRM Header and 3.3V Pentium Processor A DVRM (Dummy Voltage Regulation Module) must be installed if you are using a 3.3V Pentium processor.
Page 24
G586IPBS To Remove: Press the handles on the header simultaneously. The module will be forced out of the VRM header.
G586IPBS VRM Header and Future Low-Voltage CPUs The types of VRM supported and installation procedures will be described in a future edition of the G586IPBS manual.
G586IPBS CPU Installation The G586IPBS is equipped with a 321-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket at location U31 of the system board. The ZIF socket allows for easy installation of upgrade CPUs as your system needs grow. Make sure all jumpers are set correctly before applying power, or you may damage the CPU or system board.
G586IPBS Jumpers J1, JP11 and J50 The following jumpers are for factory testing only and should always be set to their default configurations. Reconfiguring these jumpers will cause problems with your system board. J1, JP11, J50: Off...
G586IPBS Installing Upgrade CPUs The G586IPBS is equipped with a 321-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket at location U31 of the system board. This socket is designed for easy removal of the old CPU and easy insertion of the upgrade CPU. The socket allows you to carefully place the new CPU into its position.
Page 38
G586IPBS Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) Socket To install an upgrade CPU, do the following. 1. Make sure the handle on the side of the ZIF socket is up. To raise the handle, push down, pull it out to the side a little and raise it as far as it will go.
Page 39
G586IPBS Lifting the Handle 2. Once the lever is completely up, remove the old CPU by carefully lifting it straight out of the socket. You are now ready to insert the new CPU.
Page 40
G586IPBS 3. Position the CPU above the ZIF socket. Make sure pin 1 of the CPU is aligned with pin 1 of the socket. Lower the chip until the pins are inserted properly in their corresponding holes. Remember that very little force is needed to install the CPU.

G586IPBS Clearance Requirements The 3.3V Pentium Upgrade Processor comes with a heat sink mounted on top. To maintain proper airflow once the upgrade is installed on the system board, the processor and sink require certain space clearances. The clearance above 3.3V Pentium Upgrade Processor's fan/ heat-sink must be at least 0.4 in.

G586IPBS Built-in Ports The G586IPBS system board is equipped with two serial ports, one SPP/EPP/ECP parallel printer port, one FDD connector, one PS/2 mouse connector and two IDE hard disk shrouded headers. Locations of the Built-in Ports on the System Board...
G586IPBS Serial Ports The built-in serial ports are RS-232C asynchronous commu- nication ports with 16C550-compatible UARTs that can be used with modems, serial printers, remote display terminals, and other serial devices. They use the following system I/O addresses: Port Configuration...
