0 or Bank 1, but you must populate one bank first before going to the next bank. The G586IPV/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.
U23 of the system board. Refer to page 6 for the locations of the SRAMs. CPU Installation The G586IPV/E 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.

Installing Upgrade CPUs The G586IPV/E is equipped with a 321-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket at location U25 of the system board. Refer to page 6 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 14
Lifting the Handle 2. Once the lever is completely up, remove the old CPU carefully by lifting it straight out of the socket. You are now ready to insert the new CPU. 3. Position the CPU above the ZIF socket. Make sure pin 1 of the CPU is aligned with pin 1 of the socket.
Page 15
Positioning the CPU Above the ZIF Socket 4. Push the handle down until the handle locks into place. The top plate will slide forward. You will feel some resistance as the pres- sure starts to secure the CPU in the socket. This is normal and will not damage the CPU.
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.
2-3 On: Mono (default) Built-in Ports The G586IPV/E system board is equipped with two serial ports, one parallel printer port, one FDD connector, two IDE hard disk connectors and one PS/2 mouse connector. Refer to page 6 for the locations of the built-in connectors and pin 1 of those connectors.
Page 18
Connecting the Parallel Printer Port Attach the DB-25 printer cable, which came with the system board, to connector J7 on the G586IPV/E system board. Make sure the colored stripe on the ribbon aligns with pin 1 of connector J7. Use a small nutdriver to mount the cable into a DB-25 cutout in the system chassis.

IDE Hard Disk Interface The G586IPV/E system board is equipped with two PCI IDE connectors that will interface four Enhanced IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) hard disk drives. Note: Only Enhanced IDE hard drives or ATAPI CD-ROMs can be connected to the IDE interface.
Master mode. Installing Expansion Cards The G586IPV/E system board is equipped with 4 dedicated PCI slots and 3 dedicated 16-bit ISA slots. All PCI slots are bus masters. Refer to page 6 for the locations of the expansion slots. 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",...

BIOS Features Setup The BIOS Features Setup allows you to configure your system for basic operation. Some entries are defaults required by the system board, while others, if enabled, will improve the performance of your system or let you set some features according to your preference.

Many disk diagnostic programs which attempt to access the boot sector table will cause the warning message to appear. If you are running such a program, we recommend that you first disable this category. Also, disable this category if you are installing or running certain operating systems like Windows 95 or the operating system may not install nor work.
Boot Sequence This category determines which drive to search first for the disk operat- ing system (i.e. DOS). The default is A, C. A, C The system will first search for a floppy drive and then a hard disk drive. C, A The system will first search for a hard disk drive and then a floppy drive.
Boot Up NumLock Status This allows you to determine the default state of the numeric keypad. By default, the system boots up with NumLock on. The function of the numeric keypad is the number keys. The function of the numeric keypad is the arrow keys. Security Option This category allows you to limit access to your system and Setup, or just to Setup.
Video BIOS Shadow Determines whether video BIOS will be copied to RAM. Video Shadow will increase the video speed. Note that some graphics boards require that this option be disabled. Video shadow is enabled. Enabled Disabled Video shadow is disabled. C8000-CBFFF Shadow to DC000-DFFFF Shadow These categories determine whether option ROMs will be copied to RAM.
ISA Bus Clock PCICLK/4 ISA bus clock frequency is equal to the PCICLK of your CPU divided by 4. PCICLK/3 ISA bus clock frequency is equal to the PCICLK of your CPU divided by 3. Note: Refer to the “ CPU Installation” section for the PCICLK of your CPU. Power Management Setup The Power Management Setup allows you to configure your system to most effectively save energy.
Disable No power management. Disables the Doze, Standby and (default) Suspend modes. Min. Power Minimum power management. Doze Mode = 1 hr., Standby Saving Mode = 1 hr., Suspend Mode = 1 hr. and HDD Power Down = 15 min. Max.

Standby Mode This Green PC power saving function is user configurable only when the Power Management category is set to User Defined. It is used to define the idle time that elapses before the system enters the Standby mode. When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, the fixed disk drive and the video will be shut off while all other devices still operate at full speed.
