The G586VSY AIO, equipped with a 321-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF)
CPU socket, is a fast Pentium processor system board supporting Intel
Pentium CPUs running at 75MHz, 90MHz, 100MHz, 120MHz, 133MHz,
150MHz, 166MHz and 200MHz frequencies. The G586VSY AIO also
supports Cyrix P120+, P133+, P150+, P166+ and P200+ CPUs.
The G586VSY AIO can support 8MB to 256MB of system memory us-
ing EDO or fast page mode x32/x36 (parity check) DRAM. This system
board also supports pipeline burst DRAM, and provides easy cache up-
grades using 256KB or 512KB cache modules.
The G586VSY AIO design is based on the Peripheral Component Inter-
connect (PCI) local bus and Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) stan-
dards in a riser card. It is equipped with 1 dedicated PCI slots, 2dedi-
cated ISA slot and 1 shared PCI/ISA slots in the riser card.
The G586VSY AIO board can support graphics using S3 Trio64V+
(86C765) chip. It provides LPB (Local Peripheral Bus) connector for
MPEG or TV card upgrade.
The G586VSY AIO supports audio features using Yamaha OPL3-SA
FM synthesizer. It is upgradeable with wave table by either built-in
Yamaha OPL4-ML chip or a wave table daughterboard.
The G586VSY AIO 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 IrDA header, a floppy disk drive controller,
one VGA analog connector, one LPB connector, one wave table con-
nector and one PS/2 keyboard connector.

Chapter 2
Hardware Installation
This chapter summarizes the steps to install the G586VSY AIO 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 in-
stalling the system board, obtain the memory you plan to install. Please
refer to information on page 14 for the number and type of SIM mod-
ules 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 G586VSY AIO 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.
