Hardware Installation
This chapter summarizes the steps to install the G586IPV and
G586IPVF 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 information on page 14 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 placing the unit on surfaces such as carpeted
floors. These areas also attract static electricity which can damage
some circuits on your system board.
Make sure 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
electrical 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 G586IPV and G586IPVF
system board carefully.
Handling the System Board
It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your system board even before
installing it in 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
against electrostatic build-up.
9
Static Electricity Precautions
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 wrist strap.
3. Do all preparation work on a static-free surface with the system
board components facing up.
4. Hold the system board only by its edges. Be careful not to touch
any of the components, contacts or connections, especially gold
contacts, on the board.
5. Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and connectors.
Hold modules and connectors by their ends.
Warning:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drives,
add-in boards, and other components. Perform the upgrade instruction
procedures described at an ESD workstation only. If such a station is
not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the system chassis.
If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact with the
system chassis throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection.

System Memory
The G586IPV and G586IPVF system board supports two kinds of
memory modules: DIMM and SIMM. DIMM which uses SDRAM, performs better than SIMMs, which use DRAM.
DIMM
The DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) sockets can support 3.3V
SDRAM, FPM and EDO DRAM.
The G586IPV and G586IPVF system board can support 8MB to 16MB
memory of using a 1MBx64 or 2MBx64 168-pin DIMM. The G586IPV
and G586IPVF is equipped with one DIMM socket at location DM1 on
your system board.
Installing the DIM Module
A DIM module simply snaps into a socket on the system board. Pin 1 of
the DIM module must correspond with Pin 1 of the socket.

1. Pull the "tabs" which are at the ends of the socket to the side.
2. Position the DIMM above the socket with the "notches" in the module aligned with the "keys" on the socket.
3. Seat the module vertically into the socket. Make sure it is completely
seated. The tabs will hold the DIMM in place.
14
Tab
SIMM
The SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) sockets are divided into two
banks on the system board, Bank 0 and Bank 1. Each bank consists of
2 SIMM sockets.
You will need either 2 or 4 pieces of SIM modules, depending on the
amount of memory you intend to install. The system board will not work
if you install 1 or 3 pieces. Make sure you insert the same type of
SIMMs in one bank. You can install SIMMs in either of the banks, Bank
0 or Bank 1, but you must populate a bank first before going to the next
bank.
The G586IPV and G586IPVF 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.
SIMMs

Examples:
If you are installing 8MB of memory, you must insert two 1MBx32
SIMMs in Bank 0 or Bank 1. Inserting one 2MBx32 module will not
work.
If you are installing 24MB of memory, you must insert two 1MBx32
SIMMs in Bank 0 and two 2MBx32 SIMMs in Bank 1. You may also
install it vice versa by inserting two 1MBx32 SIMMs in Bank 1 and two
2MBx32 SIMMs in Bank 0.
Installing a SIM Module
A SIM module simply snaps into a socket on the system board. Pin 1 of
the SIM module must correspond with Pin 1 of the socket .

1. Position the SIMM above the socket with the “notch” in the module
aligned with the “key” on the socket.
2. Seat the module at a 45° angle into the bank. Make sure it is com-
pletely seated. Tilt the module upright until it locks in place in the
socket.
Warning:
The DIMM and SIMM can not exist on the G586IPV AND G586IPVF
system board at the same time. You must choose either a DIMM or
SIMMs on your system board.

Cache Memory
The G586IPV and G586IPVF 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 160pin cache module slot lets you upgrade your cache memory by installing a 256KB or 512KB 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 0KB cache, you can install a 256KB or
512KB cache module in the cache module slot. 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 module in
the cache module slot. Please refer to page 12 for the locations of the
cache module slot (SSM1), U22 and U23.
