The E586-ICP/E586-IPE system board requires the installation
of the ECU (EISA Configuration Utility), found on the
provided EISA Configuration Utility diskette, for proper
operation of this system board.
The ECU configures the EISA devices and maintains system
parameters by storing them in the Extended CMOS Memory, so
the BIOS can initialize the system and expansion boards
inserted in the EISA slots once you power up your system.
The Extended CMOS Memory is equipped with an internal
battery that needs to be constantly charged. In a small number
of cases, the internal battery may have drained and the
information stored in the Extended CMOS Memory lost during
shipment. If this happens, you will get the message "EISA
CMOS Inoperational" when you power up your system.
Simply run the ECU software, bundled with the system board,
to reconfigure the system. Save the configuration and reboot
your system. Refer to the EISA Configuration Utility section on
page 4-1 for more detailed information.

EISA/PCISystemBoard
vIntroduction
The E586-ICP/E586-IPE system board offers several
advanced features integrated into the system board. It is
designed based on the new PCI (Peripheral Component
Interconnect) local bus and EISA (Extended Industry
Standard Architecture) standards.
The E586-ICP/E586-IPE supports 273-pin Zero Inser-
tion Force socket for PentiumTM processors running at
60MHz or 66MHz bus speed. It also supports an op-
tional Flash EPROM. Flash EPROM is a memory chip
for the storage of BIOS which can be erased in bulk or
modified using a software utility.
The E586-ICP/E586-IPE comes with an EISA Configu-
ration Utility (ECU) that must be installed and run to
configure the board and the EISA expansion boards that
will be inserted in the EISA expansion slots.
The E586-ICP/E586-IPE system board is equipped with
four EISA and four PCI local bus slots. One EISA slot
and one PCI slot are shared, meaning you may use only
one or the other of these three slots. Therefore, in
accord with the PCI standard, seven slots are useable.
The E586-ICP/E586-IPE is also equipped with one
mini-DIN-6 connector for the PS/2 mouse and an op-
tional IDE disk interface, only if installed with the
Symphony SL82C101P chip.
The E586-ICP/E586-IPE can be configured to twenty-
two different sizes from 2MB to 128MB using 256Kx36,
512Kx36, 1Mx36, 2Mx36, 4Mx36 and 8Mx36 HSIM
modules.

E586-ICP/E586-IPE
vInstallation Overview
This chapter summarizes the steps in installing the
E586-ICP/E586-IPE 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.
Preparing the Area
Before unpacking the system board, make sure the
location you have selected is relatively free of dust and
static. Excessive exposure to dust, static electricity,
direct sunlight, excessive humidity, extreme cold and
water can damage the operational capabilities of your
system board. Avoid soft surfaces such as beds and
carpeted floors which can hinder air circulation. These
areas also attract static electricity which can damage
some circuits on your system board.
Be sure that 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 recom-
mend that you use a surge protection socket. This will
protect the system board from damage that may result
from a power surge on the line.
Move items that generate magnetic fields away from
your system board, since magnetic fields can also dam-
age your system board. Once you have selected the ideal
location, unpack the E586-ICP/E586-IPE system board
carefully.

EISA/PCISystemBoard
Handling the System Board
It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your system
board even before installing it to your system unit.
Static electrical discharge can damage computer compo-
nents without causing any signs of physical damage. You
must take extra care in handling the system board to
ensure that no static build-up is present.
Tips in Handling the System Board
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 wriststrap.
3) Do all preparation work on a static-free surface with
components facing up.
4) Hold the system board by its edges only. 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.
Hardware Installation
Memory Installation
The E586-ICP/E586-IPE system board can support 2MB
to 128MB of memory using HSIMMs. HSIMM is an
acronym for High Density Single In-line Memory Mod-
ule.
2-2 uInstallation Overview

E586-ICP/E586-IPE
An HSIMM consists of several RAM chips soldered
onto a small circuit board. An HSIMM connects to the
system board via a 72-pin card-edge connector.
The HSIMM sockets are divided into two banks on the
system board. The E586-ICP/E586-IPE system board
uses 256Kx36, 512Kx36, 1Mx36, 2Mx36, 4Mx36 and
8Mx36 HSIM modules.
You will need 2 to 4 pieces of HSIM modules, depend-
ing on the amount of memory you intend to install.
Your system board can be configured with 2MB, 4MB,
6MB, 8MB, 10MB, 12MB, 16MB, 18MB, 20MB,
24MB, 32MB, 34MB, 36MB, 40MB, 48MB, 64MB,
66MB, 68MB, 72MB, 80MB, 96MB or 128MB of
onboard memory.
To install the HSIM modules, first populate Bank 1 and
then Bank 2. Failure to do so will cause the system
board to work improperly.
The following table summarizes the bank locations and
modules needed for the corresponding memory sizes.
Each bank consists of 2 HSIMM sockets.

Installing the Modules
HSIMMs simply snap into a socket on the system board.
Pin 1 of the HSIMM must correspond with Pin 1 of the
socket.
1. Position the HSIM module above the HSIMM
socket with the chips of the module facing the center
of the system board.
2. Seat the module at an angle into the bank. Make
sure it is completely seated. Tilt the module upright
until it locks in place in the socket.
