    Bank 1, but you must populate a bank first before going to the next bank. The G586IPB/E 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.

  • Page 14: Cache Memory

    Tilt the module upright until it locks in place in the socket. Cache Memory The G586IPB/E system board can support 256KB or 512KB pipeline burst, direct map write-back cache SRAM. Your system board may come with 0KB or 256KB cache mounted onboard. The 160-pin cache module slot lets you upgrade your cache memory by installing a 256KB or 512KB cache module.

  • Page 15: Installing The Cache Module

    Warning: We highly recommend that you use T2BSM32-256 or T2BSM32-512 cache modules. If you are using cache modules other than the ones recommended above, make sure your cache module meet the Intel COAST 1.3 specification. Severe damage might occur on the cache module or system board if you insert modules other than those speci- fied above.

  • Page 23: Installing Upgrade Cpus

    JP11: 3-5, 4-6 On Installing Upgrade CPUs The G586IPB/E 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 24 The 321-pin ZIF socket consists of five rows of pin holes on each side. To prevent improper CPU installation, the ZIF socket has a Plug/Keying mechanism. Several holes in the socket are plugged so that the CPU will go in only one way. If you cannot easily insert the CPU, verify that pin 1 of the CPU is aligned with pin 1 of the socket.
  • Page 25 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. It may be necessary to initially apply a small amount of sideways force to free the handle from its retaining “...

    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. If the CPU is not easily inserted, verify whether or not pin 1 of the CPU is aligned with pin 1 of the socket.
  • Page 27 Clearance Requirements Your CPU comes with a fan/heatsink mounted on top. To maintain proper airflow once the CPU is installed on the system board, the CPU and fan/heatsink require certain space clearances. The clearance above the CPUs 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.

    2-3 On: Mono (default) Built-in Ports The G586IPB/E 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 loca- tions of the built-in connectors and pin 1 of those connectors.

  • Page 29: Serial Ports

    PS/2 Mouse Port The PS/2 mouse port is a 6-pin connector on the system board. Attach the 6-pin mouse port cable, which came with the G586IPB/E, to con- nector J3. Make sure the brown wire on the PS/2 mouse connector is aligned with pin 1 of connector J3.
