    Cache Memory The G586IPC 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 16: Cpu Installation

    PCI Slot 4. CPU Installation The G586IPC allows for easy installation of CPUs. Make sure all jump- ers are set correctly before applying power or you may damage the CPU or system board. Please see the jumper settings below.

  • Page 17: Installing Upgrade Cpus

    JP9: 5-6 On Installing Upgrade CPUs The G586IPC is equipped with a 321-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket at location U27 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 18 Warning: Open the socket only if you are actually installing a CPU. The warranty on the original CPU will be voided if the S/N seal is broken. Do not change any factory CPU speed jumper settings if you are install- ing the 3.3V Pentium upgrade processor.
  • Page 19 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 “...
  • Page 20 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.

    Fan Exhaust The CPU must be kept cool by using a fan with heatsink. The tempera- ture of the air entering the fan/heatsink cannot exceed 45°C (113°F). The ambient or room temperature must be below 37°C (99°F). In order to provide proper airflow to the CPU, all movable obstructions (power supply cables, cards, floppy disk cables) must be clear of the CPU fan/heatsink component in accordance with the space clearance discussed in the Clearance Requirements section of this manual.
