Chapter 2
Hardware Installation
This chapter summarizes the steps to install the G586IPV 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 pages 15 and 16 for the number and type of memory
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 expo-
sure to dust, static electricity, direct sunlight, excessive humidity, ex-
treme 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 sys-
tem 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 system board
carefully.

11
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.
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 anti-
static 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 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
•One medium Phillips screwdriver
•One needle-nosed pliers
•One small nutdriver

1.Unlock your system unit. Turn off the power and disconnect all
power cords and cables.
2.Remove the system unit cover. Refer to the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions if necessary.
3.Detach all connectors from the old system board and remove ex-
pansion cards seated in any expansion slots.
4.Loosen the screws holding the original system board and remove
the board from the system. Save the screws.
5.Remove the G586IPV from its original packing box. Be careful to
avoid touching all connectors and pins on the board. Please refer to
the handling instructions on pages 11-12 for proper handling tech-
niques.
6.Insert the memory modules into the memory banks on the
G586IPV. The quantity and location of the memory modules de-
pends on the memory configuration and type of modules you intend
to use.
7.Insert the cache module, if any, into the cache module slot on the
G586IPV. Refer to the Cache Memory section on page 18 for up-
grading your cache memory.
8.Install the CPU. Be sure pin 1 of the CPU is aligned with pin 1 of
the socket.
9.Set the corresponding jumpers.
10.Install the prepared G586IPV system board into the case and re-
place the screws.
11.Reinstall all cards and connectors and replace the system unit
cover. Reconnect all power cords and cables.

16
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 system board can support 8MB to 128MB of memory us-
ing 1MBx32, 2MBx32, 4MBx32, or 8MBx32 72-pin SIMMs. The table
below shows the supported SIM modules and their corresponding
memory sizes.
SIMMs
1MBx32
2MBx32
4MBx32
8MBx32
Memory Size
4MB
8MB
16MB
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.

17
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 .
notch
key
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 system board at
the same time. You must only use either a DIMM or SIMMs on your
system board.
Jumper Settings for DIMM and SIMM
Jumper JP10
DIMM and SIMM Select
Jumper JP10 must match the type of module installed on the G586IPV
system board. If you change your memory module, make sure this
jumper is changed accordingly.

19
Installing the Cache Module
Locate the 160-pin cache module slot on the system board (SSM1).
Refer to page 14 for the location of SSM1. Position the cache module
above the slot. Make sure pin 1 of the cache module is aligned with pin
1 of the slot. Carefully slide the module into the slot. Press firmly on the
top of it to seat it properly.
Note:
With the cache module installed in the cache module slot, the compo-
nents on the solder side of the add-in card in PCI Slot 3 must not
protrude more than 5mm. The components of the component side of
the add-in card in PCI Slot 2 also must not protrude more than 5mm.
CPU Installation
The G586IPV allows for easy installation of CPUs. Make sure all jumpers
are set correctly before applying power or you may damage the CPU or
system board. Please see the jumper settings on the following pages. Use
the needle-nosed plier to move the jumpers if necessary.
