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 in-
terference when the equipment is operated in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular in-
stallation. 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
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to oper-
ate the equipment.
2.Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with the
emission limits.

The G586IPV and G586IPVF, equipped with a 321-pin Zero Insertion
Force (ZIF) CPU socket, is a fast Pentium processor system board sup-
porting Intel Pentium CPUs running at 75MHz, 90MHz, 100MHz,
120MHz, 133MHz, 150MHz, 166MHz frequencies. The G586IPV AND
G586IPVF also supports Cyrix P120+, P133+, P150+ and P166+, AMD
5K86, and future 200MHz CPUs.
The G586IPV and G586IPVF can support 8MB to 128MB of system
memory using EDO, fast page mode x32 DRAM, or fast page mode x64
SDRAM. This system board also supports pipeline burst SRAM and
SDRAM, and provides easy cache upgrades using 256KB or 512KB
cache modules.
The G586IPV and G586IPVF board has two bus master PCI IDE con-
nectors. Bus mastering reduces CPU use during disk transfer. This sys-
tem 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 keyboard connector.
The G586IPV and G586IPVF are similar, but they have four differences:
1. Expansion Slots: The G586IPV has 4 dedicated PCI slots and 3
dedicated 16-bit ISA slots, and the G586IPVF has 3 dedicated PCI
slots, 3 dediacted 16-bit ISA slots and 1 shared PCI/ISA slot.
2.PCB Size: The size of the G586IPV is 25cm (9.84") x 22cm (8.66"),
and that of the G586IPVF is 26cm (10.14") x 22cm (8.66")
3.Battery: The G586IPV uses the lithium battery adn the G586IPVF
uses the ODIN battery with 10 years guaranty.
4. CPU Voltage: The G586IPV supports three kinds of CPU voltages,
and the G586IPVF suooprts five kinds of CPU voltages.

Chapter 2
Hardware Installation
This chapter summarizes the steps to install the G586IPV and
G586IPVF system board into your system unit. It also includes a de-
scription 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 page 14 for the number
and type of SIM modules needed for the amount of memory you re-
quire.
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 and G586IPVF
system board carefully.
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.

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 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 AND G586IPVF system board, the
following outlines the basic installation steps. Before installing the sys-
tem 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
