G586IPB/W 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.
JP52, Pins 1-2 On: IRQ5 Cache Configuration The G586IPB/W 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.
Page 22
G586IPB/W 1. Locate the 160-pin cache module slot on the system board. Position the cache module above the slot. Make sure pin 1 of the cache module is aligned with pin 1 of the slot. Carefully slide the module into the slot.
G586IPB/W VRM Header Your G586IPB/W 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.
G586IPB/W VRM Header and Future Low-Voltage CPUs The types of VRM supported and installation procedures will be described in a future edition of the G586IPB/W manual.
G586IPB/W CPU Installation The G586IPB/W is equipped with a 321-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket at location U31 of the system board. The ZIF socket let you easily upgrade your CPU as your system needs grow. Make sure all jumpers are set correctly before applying power, or you...
G586IPB/W Jumpers 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. The default setting is JP11, J50: Off...
G586IPB/W Installing Upgrade CPUs The G586IPB/W 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 an old CPU and easy insertion of an upgrade CPU.
Page 33
G586IPB/W as CPUs from other vendors, can be placed incorrectly and will be permanently damaged if incorrectly placed. 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.
Page 34
G586IPB/W 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 35
G586IPB/W 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.
