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.

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 G586VSY AIO system board, the following out-

lines 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 G586VSY AIO 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 9-10 for proper handling tech-

niques.

6.Insert the memory modules into the memory banks on the

G586VSY AIO. The quantity and location of the memory modules

depends on the memory configuration and type of modules you in-

tend to use.

7.Insert the cache module, if any, into the cache module slot on the

G586VSY AIO. Refer to the Cache Memory section on page 15 for

upgrading 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 G586VSY AIO system board into the case and

replace the screws.

11.Reinstall all cards and connectors and replace the system unit

cover. Reconnect all power cords and cables.

PBSRAM = Pipeline Burst SRAM

System Memory

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. 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 G586VSY AIO system board can support 8MB to 256MB of

memory using 1MBx36, 2MBx36, 4MBx36, 8MBx36, or 16MBx36 72-pin

SIMMs. The table below shows the supported SIM modules and their

corresponding memory sizes.

Examples:

If you are installing 8MB of memory, you must insert two 1MBx36

SIMMs in Bank 0 or Bank 1.

If you are installing 256MB of memory, you must insert four 16MBx36

SIMMs in Bank 0 and Bank 1.

If you are installing 24MB of memory, you must insert two 1MBx36

SIMMs in Bank 0 and two 2MBx36 SIMMs in Bank 1. You may also

install it vice versa by inserting two 1MBx36 SIMMs in Bank 1 and two

2MBx36 SIMMs in Bank 0.

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 .

256KBupgradeable with a 256KB cache module for a

maximum of 512KB cache

Warning:

We highly recommend that you use T2BSM32-256 cache modules. If

you are using cache modules other than the ones recommended above,

make sure your cache module(s) meets the Intel COAST 2.x specifica-

tion. Severe damage might occur on the cache module or system board

if you insert modules other than those specified above.

Installing the Cache Module

Locate the 160-pin cache module slot on the system board (SSM1).

See page 12 for the location. 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.

Cache Memory

The G586VSY AIO system board can support 256KB or 512KB pipeline

burst, direct map write-back cache SRAM. Your system board may

come with 256KB or 512KB cache mounted onboard. The 160-pin

cache module slot lets you upgrade your cache memory by installing a

256KB cache module.

Note:

You do not need to set any jumpers or modify the Award BIOS Setup

utility when you install the cache module.

If your system board comes with 256KB cache at locations U2 and U6,

you can upgrade your cache memory to 512KB by installing a 256KB

Zero Insetion Force (ZIF) Socket

Installing Upgrade CPUs

The G586VSY AIO is equipped with a 321-pin Zero Insertion Force

(ZIF) socket at location U13 of the system board. Refer to page 12 for

the location of the ZIF socket. This socket is designed for easy removal

of an old CPU and easy insertion of an upgrade CPU. The socket al-

lows you to carefully place the new CPU into its position. If you need to

apply excessive force to insert the CPU, you are not installing the CPU

correctly.

Warning:

Open the socket only if you are actually installing a CPU. The warranty

on the original CPU will be voided if the S/N seal is broken. Before

proceeding with the upgrade, take note of the following. The micropro-

cessor and heat sink may be hot if the system has been running. To

avoid the possibility of a burn, power the system off and let the proces-

sor and heat sink cool for 10 minutes.

The 321-pin ZIF socket consists of five rows of pin holes on each side.

To prevent improper CPU installation, the ZIF socket has a Plug/Keying

mechanism. Several holes in the socket are plugged so that the CPU

will go in only one way. If you cannot easily insert the CPU, verify that

pin 1 of the CPU is aligned with pin 1 of the socket.
