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.

Note:

You do not need to set any jumpers or modify the Award BIOS Setup utility

when you install the cache module.

If your system board comes with 256KB cache at locations U22 and U23, you

can upgrade your cache memory to 512KB by installing a 256KB cache mod-

ule in the cache module slot. Please refer to page 12 for the locations of the

cache module slot (SSM1), U22 and U23.

Warning:

We highly recommend that you use the T2BSM32-256 cache module. If you

are using a cache module other than the one recommended above, make

sure your cache module meets the Intel COAST 2.x specification. Severe

damage might occur on the cache module or system board if you insert mod-

ules other than those specified above.

Locate the 160-pin cache module slot on the system board (SSM1). Refer to

page 12 for the location of SSM1. Position the cache module above the slot.

Make sure pin 1 of the cache module is aligned with pin 1 of the slot. Care-

fully slide the module into the slot. Press firmly on the top of it to seat it

properly.
