Advisories
Three types of advisories are used throughout the manual to stress important points or warn of potential
hazards to the user or the system. They are the Note, the Caution, and the Warning. Following is an example
of each type of advisory:
Note: The note is used to present information which may provide special instruction or extra
information which may help to simplify the use of the product.
CAUTION!
A Caution is used to alert you of a situation which if ignored may cause injury or
damage equipment.
WARNING!
AWarningisusedto alertyouof asituationwhich ifignoredwill cause seriousinjury.
Cautions and Warnings are accented with triangular symbols. The excalmation symbol is used in all cautions
and warnings to help alert you to the important instructions. The lightning flash symbol is used on the left
hand side of a caution or a warning if the advisory relates to the presence of voltage which may be of
sufficient magnitude to cause electrical shock.
Use caution when servicing any electrical component. We have tried to identify the areas which may pose
a Caution or Warning condition in this manual; however, ICS Advent does not claim to have covered all
situations which might require the use of a Caution or Warning.
You must refer to the documentation for any component you install into a computer system to insure proper
precautions and procedures are followed.

Chapter 1: Introduction
ManualNumber: 00431-220-5 Page 1-1
Chapter 1: Introduction
This manual describes the SB586T family of single board computers. A complete list of products
covered by this manual appears at the end of this chapter. Chapter 1 provides general information
and specifications. Chapter 2 lists the connector pinouts and illustrates the five board layouts in the
series. Chapter 3 describes how to install components and set switches. Chapter 4 describes main-
tenance and troubleshooting. The appendix describes the BIOS.
General
The SB586T series of CPU boards are full featured, industrialized, single board computers support-
ing the Intel®Pentium®, Pentium with MMX technology, AMD K6®, and AMD K6-2 processors.
The SB586T series combines on one board many features normally needed for system operation,
including high-speed serial ports, parallel port, and disk controllers. This design reduces the number
of slots required on the passive backplane and allows room for additional feature cards. All onboard
controllers may be disabled through the system BIOS.
The boards feature an external bus architecture that complies with the ISA standard and includes a
PCI bus extension to communicate with onboard functions. This extension supports the DEC PCI-
to-PCI bridge chip, allowing additional peripherals on the PCI bus.
The SB586T series supports a full range of processors with speeds ranging from 100 to 300MHz.
You may select models with or without MMX support or the similar 3DNow!®technology. All
processors fit into a ZIF Socket 7 and include a fan-cooled heat sink. You can upgrade your proces-
sor easily by replacing it and making a few adjustments to a jumper and a DIP switch.
Each board has four 72-pin SIMM sockets, arranged in two banks and will accept up to 256MB of
DRAM using 32-bit EDO or 36-bit FPM SIMMs. ECC memory is also supported. In addition, a
512K onboard synchronous pipeline burst cache is standard on all models.
Year 2000 Compliance
ICS Advent warrants that the SB586T series has been tested for Year 2000 compliance. The boards
have been verified to "roll over" to the year 2000 properly and to indicate the proper date for the leap
year. This warranty applies to the feature board only and does not guarantee that improperly written
application software will report the year correctly.

Onboard Controllers
Onboard controllers for disk drives, serial ports, and parallel ports are incorporated into the design of
the SB586T series. SCSI and video controllers are options at the time of purchase. All onboard
controllers are individually enabled or disabled through the system BIOS. Unless indicated, the
following controllers are present in all models of the SB586T series.
Display Controller (SB586T2V, SB586TS2V, and SB586TT)
The SVGA controller offers 2MB of DRAM and resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 with 256 colors.
Table 1-2 lists the refresh rates and maximum colors available for the supported resolutions. The
display portion includes a VESA feature connector (J11), allowing other peripherals to share signals
and control of the VGA circuitry. In addition, the board has a set of diskettes containing video
display drivers and display-enhancement utilities. The diskettes also contain documentation for in-
stalling and configuring the drivers.

Ultra Wide SCSI Controller (SB586TS and SB586TS2V)
The SCSI connector at J9 is a single-ended SCSI-3 ultra-wide interface based on the 7880 Adaptec
AIC controller. The 8- or 16-bit autoselectable bus width maintains maximum compatibility. With the
16-bit bus width selected (ultra-wide SCSI), throughputs of up to 40MB/sec are possible. You can
easily customize your host adapter with the built-in BIOS-based configuration utility.
A single-ended, 68-pin "P" connector attaches the SCSI controller to a high-density 68-pin SCSI
cable. This cable allows full use of 16-bit wide bus transfers. A 68-pinto50-pin adapter is avail-
able to channel the SCSI bus signals to an 8-bit, 50-pin connection for older SCSI peripherals.
Normal SCSI and SCSI wide devices may be used on the same SCSI bus via an optional adapter. If
you mix these devices, ICS Advent recommends a terminated SCSI wide device at the end of
the cable to ensure proper termination of all SCSI signals.
Refer to the SCSI Connection section in Chapter 3 for more information.
Dual EIDE Disk Drive Controller
Two interfaces are provided for EIDE fixed disk drives at J1 and J8. The two EIDE connectors are
located on the PCI local bus and support two drives each. The interface includes LBA and PIO
mode 4 support, allowing up to 16.6MB/sec throughput speeds.
Diskette Drive Controller
The diskette drive controller at J3 supports up to two drives. The diskette drives may range in
density from 360K to 2.88MB.
