Chapter 2 Hardware Installation This chapter summarizes the steps to install the G586IPV 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.
ESD protection. Installing the System Board If you are installing the G586IPV system board, the following outlines the basic installation steps. Before installing the system board into your system unit, you should prepare the tools you will need.
Page 11
4. Loosen the screws holding the original system board and remove the board from the system. Save the screws. 5. Remove the G586IPV from its original packing box. Be careful to avoid touching all connectors and pins on the board. Please refer to the han- dling instructions on pages 9-10 for proper handling techniques.
DIMM The DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) socket uses x64 EDO, FPM and SDRAM. The G586IPV system board can support 8MB to 16MB memory us- ing 1MBx64 or 2MBx64 168-pin DIMM. Refer to page 12 for the location of the DIMM.
You can install SIMMs in either of the banks, Bank 0 or Bank 1, but you must populate a bank first before going to the next bank. The G586IPV system board can support 8MB to 128MB of memory using 1MBx32, 2MBx32, 4MBx32, or 8MBx32 72-pin SIMMs. The table below shows the supported SIM modules and their corresponding memory sizes.
Tilt the module upright until it locks in place in the socket. Warning: The DIMM and SIMM can not exist on the G586IPV system board at the same time. You must only use either a DIMM or SIMMs on your system board.
Cache Memory The G586IPV system board can support 256KB or 512KB pipeline burst, di- rect map write-back cache SRAM. Your system board may come with 256KB or 512KB cache mounted onboard. The 160-pin cache module slot lets you upgrade your cache memory by installing a 256KB cache module.
Page 17
Note: With the cache module installed in the cache module slot, the components on the solder side of the add-in card in PCI Slot 3 must not protrude more than 5mm. The components of the component side of the add-in card in PCI Slot 2 also must not protrude more than 5mm.
CPU Installation The G586IPV allows for easy installation of CPUs. Make sure all jumpers are set correctly before applying power or you may damage the CPU or system board. Please see the jumper settings on the following pages. Use the needle-nosed plier to move the jumpers if necessary.
Installing Upgrade CPUs The G586IPV is equipped with a 321-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket at location U25 of the system board. Refer to page 12 for the location of the ZIF socket. This socket is designed for easy removal of an old CPU and easy insertion of an upgrade CPU.
Page 22
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 it down, slightly pull it out to the side, then raise it as far as it will go.
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.
Page 24
Clearance Requirements Your CPU comes with a heatsink mounted on top. To maintain proper airflow once the upgrade is installed on the system board, the CPU and heatsink require certain space clearances. The clearance above the CPU’ s fan/heatsink must be at least 0.4 inches. The clearance on at least 3 of 4 sides of the processor and heatsink must be at least 0.2 inches.
Jumper Settings for Password Clear and Display Type Jumper JP2 Password Clear If you set a password in the "Password Setting" option and forget your pass- word. power off your system and set jumper JP2 to On to clear the password stored in your CMOS.
Built-in Ports The G586IPV system board is equipped with two serial ports, one parallel printer port, one FDD connector, two IDE hard disk shrouded headers and one PS/2 mouse connector. Refer to page 12 for the locations of the built-in connectors and pin 1 of those connectors.
278-27A Hex Connecting the Parallel Printer Port Attach the DB-25S printer port cable to connector J7 on the G586IPV system board. Make sure the colored stripe on the ribbon cable aligns with pin 1 of connector J7. Use a small nutdriver to mount the bracket into a DB-25 cutout...
Floppy Disk Drive Controller The G586IPV system board has a built-in floppy disk controller that supports two standard floppy disk drives. You can install any 360KB, 720KB, 1.2MB, 1.44MB, or 2.88MB floppy disk drives. Connecting the Floppy Disk Cable 1. Install the 34-pin header connector into the floppy disk connector (J6) on the system board.
Page 29
Header Note: An IDE cable with a standard 40-pin connector (without the keying mecha- nism) can be installed in the PCI IDE shrouded header. Be extremely careful to match the colored edge of the ribbon with pin 1 of the header. Connecting the Hard Disk Cable 1.
Installing Expansion Cards The G586IPV system board is equipped with 4 dedicated PCI slots and 3 dedicated 16-bit ISA slots. All PCI slots are bus masters. Due to the size of the CPU with its accompanying fan/heatsink component, the length of the add-in cards in PCI slot 4 and ISA slot 1 is limited to 18cm (7.07", measured from the bracket of the card).
