PCI/ISA System Board
v Introduction
The 586OP system board offers several advanced features integrated into the system board. Its design is
based on the new Peripheral Component Interconnect
(PCI) local bus and Industry Standard Architecture
(ISA) standards.
The 586OP supports a 273-pin Zero Insertion Force
(ZIF) CPU socket for PentiumTM processors running at
60MHz or 66MHz frequency. This ZIF socket allows
users to easily upgrade their CPUs. It also supports a
Flash EPROM for easy BIOS upgrades. Flash EPROM
is a memory chip for the storage of BIOS which can be
erased in bulk or modified using a software utility.
The 586OP is equipped with four PCI and four ISA
slots, of which one pair is shared.
Equipped with two built-in PCI IDE connectors, the
586OP system board can control four drives and supports fast Mode 3 hard drives and hard drives larger
than 528MB under DOS. The system board is also
equipped with two serial ports, an ECP/EPP parallel
port, a floppy disk drive controller, and one mini-DIN-6
connector for the PS/2 mouse.
The 586OP can be configured to twenty-two different
memory sizes ranging from 2MB to 128MB using
256Kx36, 512Kx36, 1Mx36, 2Mx36, 4Mx36 and
8Mx36 72-pin SIM modules.

PCI/ISA System Board
v Installation Overview
This chapter summarizes the steps in installing the
586OP 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. Please refer to the memory chart on pages 2-3
and 2-4 for the number and type of SIM modules
needed for the amount of memory you require.
Preparing the Area
Before unpacking the system board, make sure the
location you have selected is relatively free of dust and
static electricity. Excessive exposure to dust, static
electricity, direct sunlight, excessive humidity, extreme
cold and water can damage the operational capabilities
of your system board. Avoid soft surfaces such as beds
and carpeted floors which can hinder air circulation.
These areas also attract static electricity which can
damage some circuits on your system board.
Be sure that the power source has a properly grounded,
three-pronged socket. It is essential that the power
connection be properly grounded for correct functioning
of your system board. For further protection, we recommend that you use a surge suppressor. This will protect
the system board from damage that may result from a
power surge on the line.
Move items that generate magnetic fields away from
your system board, since magnetic fields can also
damage your system board. Once you have selected the
ideal location, unpack the 586OP system board carefully.
2-1 u Installation Overview
Page 11
Handling the System Board
It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your system
board even before installing it to your system unit.
Static electrical discharge can damage computer components without causing any signs of physical damage.
You must take extra care in handling the system board
to ensure that no static build-up is present.
Tips in Handling the System Board
1) To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the board in
its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.
2) Wear an antistatic wriststrap.
3) Do all preparation work on a static-free surface with
components facing up.
4) Hold the system board by its edges only. Be careful
not to touch any of the components, contacts or
connections, especially gold contacts on the
board.
586OP
5) Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules
and connectors. Hold modules and connectors by
their ends.
Hardware Installation
Memory Installation
The 586OP system board can support 2MB to 128MB
of memory using SIM modules.
Installation Overview u 2-2
Page 12
PCI/ISA System Board
An SIM module consists of several RAM chips soldered
onto a small circuit board. An SIM module connects to
the system board via a 72-pin card-edge connector.
The SIM sockets are divided into two banks on the
system board. The 586OP system board uses 256Kx36,
512Kx36, 1Mx36, 2Mx36, 4Mx36 and 8Mx36 HSIM
modules.
You will need 2 or 4 pieces of SIM modules, depending
on the amount of memory you intend to install. Your
system board can be configured with 2MB, 4MB, 6MB,
8MB, 10MB, 12MB, 16MB, 18MB, 20MB, 24MB,
32MB, 34MB, 36MB, 40MB, 48MB, 64MB, 66MB,
68MB, 72MB, 80MB, 96MB or 128MB of onboard
memory.
To install the SIM modules, first populate Bank 0 and
then Bank 1. Failure to do so will cause the system
board to work improperly.
The following table summarizes the bank locations and
modules needed for the corresponding memory sizes.
Each bank consists of 2 SIMM sockets.

CPU Installation
The 586OP is equipped with a 273-pin Zero Insertion
Force (ZIF) socket on location U32 of the system board.
This socket is designed for the easy removal of the old
CPU and the easy insertion of the upgrade CPU. The
socket should allow you to carefully “drop” the CPU
into place. If you need to apply excessive force to insert
the CPU, the installation is being done incorrectly.
Make sure the jumpers are set correctly before applying
power, or you may damage the CPU or system board.

Installing Upgrade CPUs
The 586OP is equipped with a 273-pin Zero Insertion
Force (ZIF) socket at location U32 of the system board.
This socket has a latching/unlatching mechanism that is
located on the right hand side of the ZIF socket (Socket
4). The socket must be in the pen position before you
can install the CPU.
To unlatch (open) the socket, lightly press the ZIF
socket handle down while moving it horizontally to the
right. After the handle is freed from the locking tab,
move it to the highest vertical upright position. IF the
ZIF socket lever action is obstructed or prevented from
extending to his fully open position, damage may occur
to the CPU during removal/installation.
To install the CPU, line up pin 1 of the CPU to pin 1 of
the ZIF socket. (The CPU has one notched edge and that
is the edge where pin 1 is located.) Place theCPU on
top of the ZIF socket assuring that the CPU is level and
has made contact with the pin holes. To relatch the ZIF
socket, move the ZIF socket handle down to its lowest
vertical position. Once in this position, lightly press the
handle down and move it horizontally to the left
catching it under the locking tab.
586OP
If the handle is not completely latched, damage to
theCPU or motherboard may result..
Warning:
Open the socket only if actually installing a CPU. The
warranty on the original CPU will be voided if the S/N
seal is broken. Installation of an OverDriveTM Processor
will not affect the original system warranty.
Installation Overview u 2-18
Page 28
PCI/ISA System Board
To install an upgrade CPU in the 586OP, carefully
follow the steps below.
Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) Socket
1. Lift the handle on the side of the ZIF socket
completely upward. Do not use screw drivers or
other tools to open the socket, or damage may occur
to the system or socket. It may be necessary to
initially apply a small amount of sideways force to
free the lever from its retaining “tab.” Once clear of
the “tab,” the lever will open easy.
2-19 u Installation Overview
Page 29
Lifting the Handle
2. Once the lever is completely up, remove the old
CPU by carefully lifting it straight out of the socket.
You are now ready to insert the new CPU.

PCI/ISA System Board
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 no force is
needed to install the CPU. If the CPU will not easily
insert, please verify you have pin 1 of the CPU
aligned with pin 1 of the socket. Applying too much
pressure can damage the CPU or the socket.
Positioning the CPU Above the ZIF Socket
2-21 u Installation Overview
Page 31
4. Gently relatch the handle down until the handle
locks into place. You will hear a click when the
handle is secure. It may require a little pressure for
the handle to lock under its retaining “tab.” If the
handle is not completely closed, damage to the
motherboard and/or CPU may result.
Horizontal/Vertical Clearance
The absolute horizontal minimum for space clearance
around the CPU is 0.2" on at least three of the four
sides when the system is fully configured.
The absolute vertical minimum for space clearance
around the active fan/heatsink on the CPU is 0.4". An
area extending 1.4" perpendicular from the socket
surface must be kept clear of all immovable
obstructions.
Fan Exhaust
The CPU must be kept cool by using a fan exhaust
configuration in connection with the heatsink. The
temperature of the air entering the fan/heatsink cannot
exceed 45 C.
586OP
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 heatsink/
fan component in accordance with the clearance
discussed in the CPU installation section of this manual.

IDE Hard Disk Interface
The 586OP system board is equipped with two PCI IDE
connectors that will interface four IDE (Integrated Drive
Electronics) hard disk drives. An IDE drive is a hard
drive with the controller electronics built into the disk
assembly. The integration of the controller and the drive
as a single unit increases both the reliability and performance by eliminating redundant circuitry.
Note:
Only IDE drives can be connected to the IDE interface.

Page 39
Note:
Refer to your disk drive user's manual for information
about selecting proper drive switch settings.
Adding a Second IDE Hard Drive
When using two IDE drives, one must be set as the
master and the other as the slave. Follow the instructions provided by the drive manufacturer for setting the
jumpers and/or switches on the drives. No changes are
needed on the 586OP system board when adding a
second hard drive.
We recommend that the IDE hard drives be from the
same manufacturer. In a few cases, drives from two
manufacturers will not function properly when used
together. The problem lies in the hard drives, not the
586OP system board.
Preparing an IDE Drive for Use
IDE disk drives are already low-level formatted, with
any bad-track errors entered, when shipped by the drive
manufacturer. Do not attempt to do a low-level format,
or you may cause serious damage to the drive.
586OP
To use an IDE drive, you need to enter the drive type
(this information is provided by the drive manufacturer)
into the system’s CMOS setup table. Then run FDISK
and FORMAT provided with DOS.
Note:
Do not run FDISK and FORMAT programs on a drive
that has already been formatted, or you will lose all
programs and data stored on the drive.

v IDE Device Drivers
The 586OP system board incorporates a high performance PCI IDE interface. It uses the NS PC87410 PCI
IDE chip and is equipped with two 40-pin IDE connectors.
The 586OP comes with two PCI IDE driver diskettes.
The “PC87410 PCI IDE Device Drivers” diskette includes drivers for DOS, Windows 3.1x and Windows
for Workgroups 3.1x, Windows NT, OS/2 2.1x, and
Novell NetWare 3.1x and 4.x. The “PC87410 PCI IDE
SCO UNIX Drivers” diskette includes drivers for SCO
UNIX 3.2.2 and 3.2.4.
Installation Utility
To run the Installation Utility, type:
A:\INSTALL.BAT
The Installation Utility includes the following options.
1. R/W Multiple - This option is for setting the “multiple
sectors transfer per interrupt”. This is not supported
by all drives. “Disabled” will be shown in this field
if a drive does not support this option. The default
value for HDDs supporting this option would be the
largest allowed multiple sectors transfer per interrupt.
2. Track Remapping - Required to support HDDs larger
than 528MB capacity or cylinders greater than 1024.
Operating systems other than NetWare require
device drivers to work with drives larger than
528MB.
4-1 u IDE Device Drivers
Page 57
586OP
For operating systems that require track remapping, the
drive type must be set to “Not Installed” in the CMOS
setup.
Example:
A user has four 806MB drives with the following
parameters: CYL=1600, HEAD=16, SECTOR=63.
Case 1:
Drive 0 = Master drive of primary IDE M/B Drive C = type 47
Drive 1 = Slave drive of primary IDE M/B Drive D = non-installed
Drive 2 = Master drive of secondary IDE Unrelated to M/B CMOS setup
Drive 3 = Slave drive of secondary IDE Unrelated to M/B CMOS setup
Drive 0 is controlled by the system BIOS, no track
remapping is allowed and the maximum capacity that
can be used under DOS/Windows is 528MB.
Drives 1, 2 and 3 are not initially controlled by the
system BIOS: track remapping is allowed and the
drive's full capacity is available under DOS/Windows.
Case 2:
Drive 0 = Master drive of primary IDE M/B Drive C = type 47
Drive 1 = Slave drive of primary IDE M/B Drive D = type 47
Drive 2 = Master drive of secondary IDE Unrelated to M/B CMOS setup
Drive 3 = Slave drive of secondary IDE Unrelated to M/B CMOS setup
Drives 0 and 1 are initially controlled by the system
BIOS, no track remapping is allowed and the maximum capacity that can be used under DOS/Windows is
528MB.
Drives 2 and 3 are not controlled by the system BIOS;
track remapping is allowed and the drive's full capacity is available under DOS/Windows.

3. Mode 3 - This option is only for HDDs that support
Mode 3.
4. Logical Block Addressing (LBA) - This option is only
for HDDs that support LBA mode.
5. Drive Speed - INSTALL.EXE, under the DOSDRV
directory get the hard drive's speed from the
DEVICE.LOG file if the information is already
present in the file. If the drive’s speed information is
not present in the DEVICE.LOG file, run “Test” to
find out the optimized speed. If you choose “Auto,”
the controller will select the speed according to the
drive’s PIO mode. Refer to the on-line Help for
more information.
Mode 0: speed = 1 600ns cycle time
Mode 1: speed = 6 390ns
Mode 2: speed = 11 240ns
Mode 3: speed = 13 180ns
Note:
For a more accurate speed test, a local bus clock
greater than or equal to 33MHz is highly recommended.
The following is a table of the drive’s speed based on a
33MHz system. Other local bus clocks will give slightly
different results.

v Troubleshooting Checklist
If you experience difficulty with the 586OP system
board, please refer to the checklist below. If you still
cannot isolate the problem, please contact your dealer.
1) Check the jumper settings to ensure that the jumpers
are properly set. If in doubt, refer to the “Board
Configuration” section.
2) Verify that all SIM modules are seated securely into
the bank sockets.
3) Make sure that the SIM modules are in the correct
locations.
4) Check that all populated memory banks are filled
with valid size SIM modules.
5) If your board fails to function, place the board on a
flat surface and seat all socketed components (gently
press each component into the socket).
6) If you made changes to the BIOS settings, re-enter
setup and load the BIOS defaults.

v Appendix B: System Error Report
When the BIOS encounters an error that requires the
user to correct something, either a beep code will sound
or a message will be displayed in a box in the middle of
the screen and a message PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE,
CTRL-ALT-ESC or DEL TO ENTER SETUP will be
shown in the information box at the bottom.
POST Beep
Currently, there is only one beep code in BIOS. This
code indicates that a video error has occurred and the
BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any
additional information. This beep code consists of a
single long beep followed by two short beeps.
Error Messages
One or more of the following messages may be displayed if the BIOS detects an error during the POST.
586OP
CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED
CMOS battery is no longer functional. It should be
replaced. The replacement battery is a Lithium watch, 3
Volt or equivalent. Replacing the battery will clear the
CMOS. Refer to the Jumper J13 section of this manual
to reset the CMOS.
CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR
Checksum of CMOS is incorrect. This can indicate that
CMOS has become corrupt. This error may have been
caused by a weak battery. Check the battery and replace
if necessary. (See above for battery replacement).

DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS
ENTER
No boot device was found. Insert a system disk into
Drive A and press <Enter>. Assuming the system is
booted from the hard drive, make sure the controller is
inserted correctly and all cables are properly attached.
Also be sure the disk is formatted as a boot device.
Then reboot the system.
DISKETTE DRIVES OR TYPES MISMATCH ERROR - RUN
SETUP
Type of diskette drive installed in the system is different
from the CMOS definition. Run setup to reconfigure the
drive type correctly.
DISPLAY SWITCH IS SET INCORRECTLY
Display switch on the motherboard can be set to either
monochrome or color. This indicates the switch is set to
a different setting than indicated in Setup. Determine
which setting is correct, and then either turn off the
system and change the jumper, or enter Setup and
change the VIDEO selection.
DISPLAY TYPE HAS CHANGED SINCE LAST BOOT
Since last powering off the system, the display adapter
has been changed. You must configure the system for
the new display type.
ERROR ENCOUNTERED INITIALIZING HARD DRIVE
Hard drive cannot be initialize. Be sure the adapter is
installed correctly and all cables are correctly and firmly
attached. Also, be sure the correct hard drive type is
selected in Setup (refer to Appendix G).

ERROR INITIALIZING HARD DISK CONTROLLER
Cannot initialize controller. Make sure the card is
correctly and firmly installed in the bus. Be sure the
correct hard drive type is selected in Setup. Also, check
to see if any jumper needs to be set correctly on the
hard drive.
FLOPPY DISK CNTRLR ERROR OR NO CNTRLR
PRESENT
Cannot find or initialize the floppy drive controller.
Make sure the controller is installed correctly and
firmly. If there are no floppy drives installed, be sure the
Diskette Drive selection in Setup is set to NONE.
KEYBOARD ERROR OR NO KEYBOARD PRESENT
Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure the keyboard
is attached correctly and no keys are being pressed
during the boot.
If you are purposely configurating the system without a
keyboard, set the error halt condition in Setup to HALT
ON ALL, BUT KEYBOARD. This will cause the BIOS
to ignore the missing keyboard and continue the boot.
MEMORY ADDRESS ERROR AT...
Indicates a memory address error at a specific location.
You can use this location along with the memory map
for your system to find and replace the bad memory
chips.
MEMORY PARITY ERROR AT...

The default setting of Jumper J13 on page 2-9 of the
manual is incorrect. Please refer to the updated information shown below.
Jumper J13
CMOS Clean Select
The 586OP system board is shipped with Jumper J13
pins 1 and 2 set to On. You must set pins 2 and 3 to On
before you turn on the power of your system.
If, for some reason, the CMOS becomes corrupted, the
system can be reconfigured with the default values
stored in the ROM chips. To load the default values, set
J13 pins 1 and 2 to On for approximately one to two
days, then return to the default position.
