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 - 586S2 mainboard.
USER’ S MANUAL for mainboard.
Cable set for IDE & Floppy .
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 damage 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.

Specification
3.13. GREEN FUNCTION INSTALLATION
There are two jumpers for the purpose of power saving, GN and GD, to indicate the power saving function . The GD is a indicator (green LED) for green function. If the green LED is OFF, the system is in normal operation. If the green LED is blinking, the system is in green mode. The GN switch will force the system into green mode .
3.14. PERIPHERAL DEVICE INSTALLATION
After installation of the device and setup of the jumpers, the mainboard can be mounted into the case and fixed by screw. To complete the mainboard installation, the peripheral devices could be installed now. The basic system needs a display interface card and a storage device.
If a PCI - Bus device is to be installed in the system, any one of four PCI ­Bus slots can be used for Slave or Master PCI - Bus device.
After installing the peripheral device, the user should check everything again and prepare to power-on the system.
3.15. KEYBOARD SETTING FUNCTION
After booting the O.S., there are some special functions used by keyboard as follows: "CTRL_ALT_DEL" Pressing these keys simultaneously will cause

Page 63
GA-586S2
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.

APPENDIX A: POST MESSAGE
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.
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 MESSAGE
Once or more of the following messages may be displayed if the BIOS detects an error during the POST. This list includes message for both the ISA and the EISA BIOS.
Ö CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED
CMOS battery is no longer functional. It should be replaced.
Ö 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.
Ö 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 you assumed the system would boot 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.
A-1
Page 96
Appendix A: Post Message
Ö 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 re-configure the drive type correctly.
Ö 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.
Ö 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.
Ö EISA Configuration Checksum Error
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY The EISA non-volatile RAM checksum is incorrect or cannot correctly
read the EISA slot. This can indicate either the EISA non-volatile memory has become corrupt or the slot has configured incorrectly. Also be sure the card is installed firmly in the slot.
Ö EISA Configuration Is Not Complete
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY The slot configuration information stored in the EISA non-volatile
memory is incomplete.
F
When either of these errors appear, the system will boot in ISA mode, which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility.
Ö ERROR ENCOUNTERED INITIALIZING HARD DRIVE
Hard drive cannot be initialized. 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.
A-2
Page 97
GA-586S2
Ö ERROR INITIALIZING HARD DISK CONTROLLER
Cannot initialize controller. Make sure the cord 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 in the hard drive.
Ö 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.
Ö Invalid ISA Configuration
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY The non-volatile memory containing EISA configuration information was
programmed incorrectly or has become corrupt. Re-run EISA configuration utility to program the memory correctly.
F
When this error appears, the system will boot in ISA mode, which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility.
Ö KEYBOARD ERROR OR NO KEYBOARD PRESENT
Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure the keyboard is attached correctly and no key is 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.
Ö 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.
Ö Memory parity Error at ...
Indicates a memory parity 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.
A-3
Page 98
Appendix A: Post Message
Ö MEMORY SIZE HAS CHANGED SINCE LAST BOOT
Memory has been added or removed since the last boot. In EISA mode use Configuration Utility to re-configure the memory configuration.
In ISA mode enter Setup and enter the new memory size in the memory field.
Ö Memory Verify Error at ...
Indicates an error verifying a value already written to memory. Use the location along with your system's memory map to locate the bad chip.
Ö OFFENDING ADDRESS NOT FOUND
This message is used in conjunction with the I/O CHANNEL CHECK and RAM PARITY ERROR messages when the segment that has caused the problem cannot be isolated.
Ö OFFENDING SEGMENT:
This message is used in conjunction with the I/O CHANNEL CHECK and RAM PARITY ERROR messages when the segment that has caused the problem has been isolated.
Ö PRESS A KEY TO REBOOT
This will be displayed at the bottom screen when an error occurs that requires you to reboot. Press any key and the system will reboot.
Ö PRESS F1 TO DISABLE NMI, F2 TO REBOOT
When BIOS detects a Non-miscible Interrupt condition during boot, this will allow you to disable the NMI and continue to boot, or you can reboot the system will the NMI enabled.
Ö RAM PARITY ERROR - CHECKING FOR SEGMENT ...
Indicates a parity error in Random Access Memory.
Ö Should Be Empty But ISA Board Found
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY A valid board ID was found in a slot that was configured as having no
board ID.
F
When this error appears, the system will boot in ISA mode, which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility.
