FCC Statement on Class B
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a residential installation. This equipment gener-
ates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interfer-
ence to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interfer-
ence will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help.
Notice:
1.The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party re-
sponsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
2.Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with the emis-
sion limits.

The G586IPV, equipped with a 321-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) CPU
socket, is fast Pentium processor-class system board supporting Intel
Pentium CPUs running at 75MHz, 90MHz, 100MHz, 120MHz, 133MHz,
150MHz, 166MHz and 200MHz frequencies. The G586IPV also supports
Cyrix 6x86 P120+/P133+/P150+/ P166+ and AMD-K5 PR75 75MHz/PR90
90MHz CPUs.
The G586IPV can support 8MB to 128MB of system memory. It is equipped
with a DIMM socket using x64 EDO, fast page mode or SDRAM, and 4 SIMM
sockets using EDO or fast page mode x32 DRAM. This system board also
supports pipeline burst SRAM, and provides easy cache upgrades using
256KB cache module.
The G586IPV design is based on the Peripheral Component Interconnect
(PCI) local bus and Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) standards. It is
equipped with 4 dedicated PCI slots and 3 dedicated 16-bit ISA slots.
The G586IPV board has two bus master PCI IDE connectors. Bus mastering
reduces CPU use during disk transfer. This system board is also equipped
with two NS16C550A-compatible serial ports, an SPP/ECP/EPP parallel port,
a floppy disk drive controller, one PS/2 mouse port and one PS/2 or AT key-
board connector.

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 13 and 14 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 se-
lected is relatively free of dust and static electricity. Excessive exposure to
dust, static electricity, direct sunlight, excessive humidity, extreme 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 system 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 se-
lected the ideal location, unpack the G586IPV system board carefully.
Handling the System Board
It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your system board even before in-
stalling it in your system unit. Static electrical discharge can damage com-
puter components without causing any signs of physical damage. You must
take extra care in handling the system board to ensure against electrostatic
build-up.

10
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 antistatic wrist strap and
attaching it to a metal part of the system chassis. If a wrist strap is unavail-
able, 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
