Introduction
ThecPCI-8586is a Pentium base high performance and accurate 3U form
factor CompactPCI standard single board computer. It’s sited on
100.00mm by 160.00mm space, 20.32mm(0.8 inch) thickness with a
2mm-pitch HM (IEC-1076) compatible connector for interfacing the
CompactPCIbackplane.It’sdesignedtoprovideasystemoptimizedforall
ofruggedapplicationsby8HPthicknesswithharddiskdriver or12HP with
both of hard disk and floppy disk drivers as an option.
ThecPCI-8586supportsIntelPentiumMMXprocessorupto 266 MHz or it’s
compatible with eliminating of heat in whole system operating, its system
memorycansupportupto128MB(bysingleSODIMMsocket)or256MBas
maximum when dual SO DIMM is equipped. The 512KB pipeline burst
cache is also equipped to generate great computing power. And SMC
37C669 I/O integrates the features of floppy controller, two serial and one
parallel interfaces with one selectable RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serial
interface, this allows system for longer distance communication. A 32 pin
DIP flash disk socket is equipped for DiskOnChip expansion, this socket
supports from 2 MB up to 72 MB capacity, it will allow system to work
independent from hard disk or floppy disk drives.
The cPCI-8586 single board computer unit provides an aluminum front
plate consistent with Eurocard packaging for front I/O accesses, one
ejector handles is available for convenience of installation and removal of
the unit from system.
The cPCI-8586 complies with the newly CompactPCI industry standard
which is approvedby the PICMG (PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers
Group) and is an adaptation of PCI specification for industrial and/or

Installation
This chapter describes the procedures for installing the cPCI-8586 CPU
card into your system.
The following is a list of typical peripherals required to build a minimum
system:
•Power supply and 3U Compact PCI backplane
•IBM PC/AT keyboard
•Display card
•Display monitor
•Floppy or hard disk with MS-DOS or Flash Disk emulator
3.1 Installing the SO-DIMMs
You can install from 2MB up to 128MB memory on board using 2,4,8,16,32
or 64MB 144-pin 3.3VFPM/EDO SO-DIMMs.
1. Ensure that all power supplies to the system are switched Off.
2. Insert the first SO-DIMM edge connector at a slight angle into the
socket of DIMM 1 close to the center of the board. Note that the
SO-DIMM is keyed and will only go in one direction.
3. Push the SO-DIMM back into the connector carefully until it snaps
into place.
4. Check to make sure the SO-DIMM is inserted securely.

3.2 Installing the CPU
1. Matchpinone(whitedot)ontheCPUwithpinone ofthePGA socket.
Notepinoneismarkedontheboard.Inaddition,thePGAsockethas
a diagonal corner or may have an arrow marked on the base of the
socket denoting the side containing pin one.
2. To complete the installation, gently press the CPU onto place.
3. Double check the insertion and orientation of the CPU before
applying power. Improper installation will result in permanent
damage to the CPU.
3.3 Completing the Installation
To complete the installation, the following steps should be followed:
1. Make sure the power is off.
2. Set the configuration jumpers in accordance with Chapter 2.
3. Install the Cpci_3586 CPU card into the system slots marks with
triangle on the 3U passive back plane.
4. Install the VGA display card to add on card slot.
5. Connect the applicable I/O cables and peripherals, i.e. floppy disk,
hard disk, monitor, keyboard, power supply and etc.
6. Turn on the power.
NOTE: the color of pin one is usually red or blue, while others are gray.
