1.5. INTRODUCE THE PCI - BUS
Connecting devices to a CPU local bus can dramatically increase the speed
of I/O-bound peripherals with only a slight increase in cost over traditional
systems.
This price / Performance point has created a vast market potential for local
bus products.
The main barrier to this market has been the lack of an accepted standard for
local bus peripherals.
Many mainboard and chipset manufactures developed their own local bus
implementations, but they are incompatible with each other.
The VL (Video Electronics Standards Association) local bus and PCI
(Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus specification was created to end
this confusion.
The PCI - bus standard, under development since Jun. 1992, which is
designed to bring workstation-level performance to standard PC platform.
The PCI - bus removes many of the bottlenecks that have hampered PC for
several years.
On the PCI - bus, peripherals operate at the native speed of the computer
system, thus enabling data transfer between peripherals and the system at
maximum speed.
This performance is critical for bandwidth-constrained devices such as video,
multimedia, mass storage, and networking adapters.
PCI - bus standard provides end-users with a low-cost, extendible and
portable local bus design, which will allow system and peripherals from
different manufactures to work together.

3. HARDWARE INSTALLATION
3.1. UNPACKING
The mainboard package should contain the following:
• The GA - 586ATX mainboard.
• USER’ S MANUAL for mainboard.
• Cable set for IDE & Floppy .
• Diskette for BUS MASTER ATAPI device (Ver 3.6).
The mainboard contains sensitive electric components which can be easily
damaged by static electricity, so the mainboard should be left in its original
packing until it is installed.
Unpacking and installation should be done on a grounded anti-static mat.
The operator should be wearing an anti static wristband, grounded at the
same point as the anti-static mat.
Inspect the mainboard carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling
may cause damage to your board. Be sure there are no shipping and
handling damages on the board before proceeding.
After opening the mainboard carton, extract the system board and place it
only on a grounded anti-static surface component side up. Again inspect the
board for damage.
Press down on all of the socket IC’ s to make sure that they are properly
seated. Do this only on with the board placed on a firm flat surface.
M
DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED.
You are now ready to install your mainboard. The mounting hole pattern on
the mainboard matches the IBM-AT system board.
It is assumed that the chassis is designed for a standard IBM XT/AT
mainboard mounting. Place the chassis on the anti-static mat and remove
the cover.
Take the plastic clips, Nylon stand-off and screws for mounting the system
board, and keep them separate.

DRAM, and the DRAM speed must be 60 or 70 ns.
The DRAM memory system on mainboard consists of bank 0, & bank 1.
Each bank consists of 2 sockets for 72 pins SIMM module DRAM. Because
the 72 pins SIMM module is 32 bits width, using 2pcs which can match a 64
bits system.
The total memory size is 8 - 256 MB.
For the DRAM installation position, please refer to Figure 3.1. Note that the
Pin 1 of SIMM module must match with the Pin 1 of SIMM socket when the
DRAM SIMM module is installed.
Insert the DRAM SIMM module into the SIMM socket at 45 degree angle.
If there is a wrong direction of Pin 1, the DRAM SIMM module couldn't be
inserted into socket completely.
After completely insert SIMM module into socket, then press the SIMM
module in vertical direction until the left and right metal holders can keep the
SIMM module standing up firmly.

•
Memory
The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On
Self Test) of the BIOS.
Base Memory
The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or
conventional) memory installed in the system.
The value of the base memory is typically 512 K for systems
with 512 K memory installed on the motherboard, or 640 K for
systems with 640 K or more memory installed on the
motherboard.
Extended Memory
The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present
during the POST.
This is the amount of memory located above 1 MB in the CPU's
memory address map.
Expanded Memory
Expanded Memory in memory defined by the Lotus / Intel /
Microsoft (LIM) standard as EMS.
Many standard DOS applications can not utilize memory above
640, the Expanded Memory Specification (EMS) swaps
memory which not utilized by DOS with a section, or frame, so
these applications can access all of the system memory.
Memory can be swapped by EMS is usually 64 within 1 MB
or memory above 1 MB, depends on the chipset design.
Expanded memory device driver is required to use memory as
Expanded Memory.
Other Memory
This refers to the memory located in the 640 to 1024 address
space. This is memory that can be used for different
applications.

DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much
base memory free for application programs. Most use for this
area is Shadow RAM.
