Chapter 2
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
Page 10
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.
Installing the System Board
If you are installing the G586IPV AND G586IPVF system board, the
following outlines the basic installation steps. Before installing the system board into your system unit, you should prepare the tools you will
need.
You will need:
• One medium size, flat-bladed screwdriver

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.

Page 15
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

32MB
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.
Onboard Cache Upgradeable Cache Module

Installing Upgrade CPUs
The G586IPV AND G586IPVF 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. The
socket allows you to carefully place the new CPU into its position. If you
need to apply excessive force to insert the CPU, you are not installing
the CPU correctly.
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.
Before proceeding with the upgrade, take note of the following. The microprocessor and heat sink may be hot if the system has been running.
To avoid the possibility of a burn, power the system off and let the
processor and heat sink cool for 10 minutes.
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.
22
Zero Insetion Force (ZIF) Socket
Page 23
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 “tab.”
Once clear of the “tab,” the handle will open relatively easily. The
top plate will slide back. Do not use screwdrivers or other tools to
open the socket, or you may damage the system or socket.
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.
23
Page 24
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. Applying too much pressure can damage
the CPU or the socket.
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 pressure starts to secure the CPU in the socket. This is normal and will
not damage the CPU. However, if the handle is not completely
closed, damage to the CPU and/or system board may result.
Installing A Fan/Heatsink for Cyrix CPUs
If you use a Cyrix CPU, you must choose a fan/heatsink which is made
for Cyrix processors. Position the fan/heatsink on the CPU such that the
air from the side of the fan/heatsink will flow across the heat regulators
on the system board. See the figure on the next page.
24
Page 25
Clearnance 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. The clearance on at least 3 of 4 sides of the processor and
heatsink must be at least 0.2 inches. All cables (for floppy drive, hard
drive, CD-ROM, etc.) must be routed clear of the CPU and its airspace.
Fan Exhaust
The CPU must be kept cool by using a fan with heatsink. The temperature of the air entering the fan/heatsink cannot exceed 45oC (113oF).
The ambient or room temperature must be below 37oC (99oF).

Connecting the Serial Ports
Two DB-9P serial port cables are provided with the system board. They
are mounted on a card-edge bracket along with the PS/2 mouse cable.
The upper serial port cable should be used for the COM 1 primary serial port; connect it to connector J4 on the system board. The lower
serial port cable should be used for the COM 2 secondary serial port;
connect it to connector J5 on the system board. Make sure the colored
stripes on the ribbon cables are aligned with pin 1 of connectors J4 and
J5. Mount the card-edge bracket to the system chassis.
27
Page 28
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 G586IPV and
G586IPVF, to connector J3 or CN3 (for the G586IPV only). Make sure
the brown wire on the PS/2 mouse connector is aligned with pin 1 of
connector J3 or CN3 (for the G586IPV only).
Parallel Port
The G586IPV and G586IPVF system board has a standard connector
for interfacing your PC to a parallel printer. The parallel port on your
system board can be set to any of the following system I/O addresses:
I/O Address: 3BC-3BE Hex
378-37A Hex (default)
278-27A Hex
Connecting the Parallel Printer Port
Attach the DB-25S printer port cable, which came with the system
board, to connector J7 on the G586IPV and G586IPVF system board.
Make sure the colored stripe on the ribbon cable aligns with pin 1 of
connector J7. Use a small nutdriver to mount the cable into a DB-25
cutout in the system chassis.
Floppy Disk Drive Controller
The G586IPV and G586IPVF system board has a built-in floppy disk
controller that supports two standard floppy disk drives. You can install
any 360KB, 720KB, 1.2MB, 1.44MB, or 2.88MB floppy disk drives.
Connecting the Floppy Disk Cable
1. Install the 34-pin header connector into the floppy disk connector
(J6) on the system board. The colored edge of the ribbon should be
aligned with pin 1 of connector J6.
2. Install the other 34-pin header connector(s) into the disk drive(s).
Align the colored edge of the daisy chained ribbon cable with pin 1
of the drive edge connector(s). The end-most connector should be
attached to the drive you want to designate as Drive A.
28
Page 29
IDE Hard Disk Interface
The G586IPV and G586IPVF system board is equipped with two PCI
IDE shrouded headers 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.
Connecting the IDE Hard Disk Interface
To prevent improper IDE cable installation, each PCI IDE shrouded
header has a keying mechanism. The 40-pin connector on the IDE
cable can be placed into the header only if pin 1 of the connector is
aligned with pin 1 of the header.
Header
Note:
The IDE cable with a standard 40-pin connector (without the keying
mechanism) can be installed in the PCI IDE shrouded header. Be extremely careful to match the colored edge of the ribbon with pin 1 of the
header.
29
Page 30
Connecting the Hard Disk Cable
1. If you are connecting two hard drives, install the 40-pin connector of
the IDE cable into the primary IDE shrouded header (connector J8).
If you are adding a third or fourth IDE device, install the 40-pin
connector of the other IDE cable into the secondary IDE shrouded
header (connector J9).
2. Install the other 40-pin header connector(s) into the device with the
colored edge of the ribbon cable aligned with pin 1 of the drive
edge connector(s).
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.
We recommend that the Enhanced IDE hard drives be from the same
manufacturer. In a few cases, drives from two different manufacturers
will not function properly when used together. The problem lies in the
hard drives, not the G586IPV and G586IPVF 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.
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.
Warning:
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.
30
Page 31
Installing Expansion Cards
The G586IPV and G586IPVF system board is equipped with 4 dedicated PCI slots and 3 dedicated 16-bit ISA slots. All PCI slots are bus
masters.
Due to the size of the CPU with its accompanying heatsink/fan component, the length of the add-in cards in PCI slot 4 and ISA slot 1 is
limited to 18cm (7.07",measured from the bracket of the card). There is
no limit to the length of the add-in card installed in PCI Slot 4, but the
components on the solder side of the add-in card in PCI Slot 3 must not
protrude more than 5mm (0.2") to avoid interfering the cache module.
Refer to page 12 for the locations of the expansion slots.
Note:
The BIOS needs to be configured for the PCI add-in cards installed in
the PCI slots. Refer to the “PCI Configuration Setup” presented in the
“Software Installation” section of the manual.

Enter your choice, and press <Enter> to accept the parameters or press
<Esc> to abort. The parameters of the hard disk will be displayed in the
Standard CMOS Setup.
Hard Drive Mode
The G586IPV AND G586IPVF supports three HDD modes: Normal, LBA
and Large. If your hard disk drive does not support LBA mode, the
“LBA” option will not be displayed. If your HDD has 1024 or fewer cylinders, the “Large” option will not be displayed.
Normal Mode
The Normal mode is the generic access mode in which neither the
BIOS nor the IDE controller will make any transformations during harddrive access.
41
Page 42
The maximum number of cylinders, heads and sectors for Normal mode
are 1024, 16 and 63, respectively.
no. Cylinders (1024)
x no. Heads ( 16)
x no. Sectors ( 63)
x bytes per sector ( 512)
528 megabytes
If you set your HDD to Normal mode, the maximum accessible HDD will
be 528 megabytes even though the physical size of the HDD may be
greater than that.
LBA (Logical Block Addressing) Mode
The LBA mode is a HDD accessing method to overcome the 528 megabyte limitation. The number of cylinders, heads and sectors shown on
the screen may not be the actual number for the HDD.
During the HDD accessing, the IDE controller will transform the logical
address described by the sector, head and cylinder number into its own
physical address inside the HDD.
The maximum HDD size supported by the LBA mode is 8.4 gigabytes. It
is obtained by the following formula.
no. Cylinders (1024)
x no. Heads ( 225)
x no. Sectors ( 63)
x bytes per sector ( 512)
8.4 gigabytes
Large Mode
The Large mode is the extended HDD access mode supported by the
G586IPV AND G586IPVF system board. Some IDE HDDs have more
than 1024 cylinders without LBA support (in some cases, you may not
want the LBA mode). This system board provides another alternative to
support these
kinds of HDDs.
42
Page 43
The BIOS tells the operating system that the number of cylinders is half
of the actual number and that the number of heads is double the actual
number. During disk access, the reverse conversion is done by the
INT13h routine.
Example of Large mode:
CYLS. HEADS SECTORS MODE
1120 16 59 NORMAL
560 32 59 LARGE
Maximum HDD size:
no. Cylinders (1024)
x no. Heads ( 32)
x no. Sectors ( 63)
x bytes per sector ( 512)
1 gigabyte
Note:
To support LBA or Large mode, address translation software is included
in the Award BIOS HDD Service Routine (INT13h). If you are running
an operating system that bypasses the BIOS Int13 Service Routine,
LBA and Large Mode may fail.
HDD Low Level Format
This option will format, set the interleave mode and do a media analysis
of your hard drives. Highlight this option and press <Enter>. A screen
similar to the one below will appear.

and press <Enter>. The message below will appear:
Save to CMOS and Exit (Y/N)? N
Type “Y” and press <Enter>. The following message will appear:
Reboot System (Y/N)? N
Type “Y” and press <Enter>. The modifications you have made will be
written into the CMOS memory, and the system will reboot. You will
once again see the initial diagnostics on the screen. If you wish to
make additional changes to the setup, press <Ctrl> <Alt> <Esc> simultaneously or <Del> after memory testing is done.
Exit Without Saving
When you do not want to save the changes you have made, highlight “Exit
Without Saving” and press <Enter>. The message below will appear:
44

Quit Without Saving (Y/N)? N
Type “Y” and press <Enter>. The system will reboot and you will once
again see the initial diagnostics on the screen. If you wish to make any
changes to the setup, press <Ctrl> <Alt> <Esc> simultaneously or
<Del> after memory testing is done.
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 the message PRESS
F1 TO CONTINUE, CTRL-ALT-ESC or DEL TO ENTER SETUP, will be
shown in the information box at the bottom. Enter Setup to correct the
error.
POST Beep
There is one beep code in the 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. If you get this error, contact
your system board.
Error Messages
One or more of the following messages may be displayed if the BIOS
detects an error during the POST.
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
No boot device was found. Insert a system disk into Drive A and press
<Enter>. If the system normally boots 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. Reboot the system.
DISKETTE DRIVES OR TYPES MISMATCH ERROR - RUN SETUP
The type of diskette drive installed in the system is different from the
CMOS definition. Run setup to reconfigure the drive type correctly.
45
Page 46
DISPLAY SWITCH IS SET INCORRECTLY
The display switch on the system board can be set to either monochrome or color. This error indicates the switch is set to a different
setting than indicated in Setup. Determine which setting is correct and
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.

correctly and all cables are correctly and firmly attached. Also, be sure
the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup.
ERROR INITIALIZING HARD DISK CONTROLLER
The system cannot initialize the 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
The system cannot find or initialize the floppy drive controller. Make
sure the controller is installed correctly and firmly. If no floppy drive is
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 configuring 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.
