G586SP/G586SP AIO

v Introduction

The G586SP/G586SP AIO system board offers several

advanced features integrated into the system board. Its

design is based on the new Peripheral Component Intercon-

nect (PCI) local bus and Industry Standard Architecture

(ISA) standards.

The G586SP/G586SP AIO system board provides a 321-pin

Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) CPU socket for Pentium^TM

processors running at 75MHz, 90MHz, 100MHz, 120MHz,

133MHz or 150MHz frequencies. This ZIF socket allows

users to easily upgrade CPUs.

The difference between the G586SP and G586SP AIO is that

the G586SP AIO comes with a built-in video accelerator for

ultimate graphic displays. The VGA controller can display

graphic resolutions up to 1024 x 768, 256 colors, 75Hz at

1MB DRAM, and up to 1280x1024, 256 colors, 60Hz at

2MB DRAM. The built-in VGA function also supports video

playback, VESA DDC1 and DDC2B.

Both the G586SP and G586SP AIO are equipped with three

dedicated PCI slots, two dedicated ISA slots, and one shared

PCI/ISA slot. The board has two bus master PCI IDE con-

nectors. Bus mastering reduces CPU utilization during disk

transfer resulting more efficient use of CPU resources. The

system board is also equipped with two NS16C550A-compat-

ible serial ports, one SPP/ECP/EPP parallel port, one analog

VGA port (G586SP AIO model only), a floppy disk drive

controller, and one PS/2 keyboard or AT keyboard connector.

The board can support 2MB to 256MB of EDO or fast page

mode DRAM (x32 or x36, 60 or 70ns) using 72-pin SIMMs

(Single In-line Memory Module).

G586SP/G586SP AIO

v Installation Overview

This chapter summarizes the steps in installing the 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 the memory chart

on page 9 for the type of SIM modules needed.

Note:

Do not use 5V SRAM cache as they will not function prop-

erly on the system board.

Preparing the Area

Before unpacking the system board, make sure the location

you have selected is 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 selected the ideal location,

unpack the system board carefully.

G586SP/G586SP AIO

Handling the System Board

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 buildup.

Tips in Handling the System Board

1. To prevent electrostatic buildup, leave the board in its

antistatic 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

components facing up.

4. Hold the system board by its edges only. 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 unavailable, establish and maintain contact

with the system chassis throughout any procedures requiring

ESD protection.

G586SP/G586SP AIO

Hardware Installation

The following summarizes the basic installation instructions.

Before installing the system board into your system unit, you

should prepare the tools you will need one medium size, flat-

blade screwdriver and one medium Phillips screwdriver.

1. Unlock your system unit. Turn off the power and discon-

nect all power cords and cables.

2. Remove the system unit cover. Refer to the manufacturer’s

instructions if necessary.

3. Remove expansion cards seated in any of the expansion

slots and detach all connectors from the old system

board.

4. Loosen the screws holding the original system board and

remove the board from the system. Save the screws.

5. Remove the system board from its original packing box.

Be careful to avoid touching all connectors and pins on

the board. Please refer to the handling instructions on

page 6 for proper handling techniques.

6. Insert the SIMMs into the SIMM banks on the system

board. The quantity and location of the SIMMs is

dependent upon the memory configuration and type of

modules you intend to use.

7. Install the CPU. Be sure pin 1 of the CPU is aligned

with pin 1 of the socket.

8. Set the corresponding jumpers.

9. Install the prepared system board into the case and

replace the screws.

10. Reinstall all cards and connectors and replace the system

unit cover. Reconnect all power cords and cables.

Installing the Modules

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.

1. Position the SIMM above the socket with the “notch” in

the module aligned with the “key” on the socket.

2. Seat the module at a 45^oangle into the bank. Make sure it

is completely seated. Tilt the module upright until it locks

in place in the socket.

Jumper JP14

Cache Type

Set JP14 pins 1-2 to On if your system board is installed

with asynchronous cache SRAM. Set pins 2-3 to On if the

system board is installed with burst/pipeline burst cache

SRAM. The default is set to pins 2-3 On. If you are install-

ing a cache module, make sure the cache chips have been

removed from the SRAM sockets.

Jumper JP18

L1 Cache Mode

Jumper JP18 is used to select the level 1 cache mode. Set

pins 1-2 to On for write-back cache and pins 2-3 to On for

write-through cache. The default is write-back cache. If you

change the setting of JP18, the “L1 Cache Update Mode”

option in the Chipset Features Setup menu of the BIOS

utility must be changed accordingly.

G586SP/G586SP AIO

Jumper JP2

Connector J3. The default is set to On, enabled. If you want

to disable this function, set JP3 to Off.

Jumper JP5 (G586SP AIO only)

Onboard VGA Interrupt

Set JP5 to On, VGA interrupt enabled, only when using the

VGA feature connector. By enabling JP5, you will lose

INTA# of PCI Slot 1. The default is set to Off, disabled.

Jumper JP6

PCI Bus Clock

The default of jumper JP6 is Off, CPU Bus Clock/2. If JP6 is

set to Off, the CPU’s external speed will be divided into 2. You

can set JP6 to On, 32MHz, if you are using a 75MHz CPU.

Jumper JP9

Internal/External Battery Selection

The system board comes with an internal lithium battery. The

default setting is set to Off for battery conservation during

shipment of the board. If you wish to use the internal lithium

battery, set JP9 to On. Leave JP9 in its default setting, Off, if

you wish to use an external lithium battery (3.6V).

G586SP/G586SP AIO

Jumper JP12

Password/CMOS Clear

If you set a password in the CMOS “Password Setting”

option and forgot your password, you can use the CMOS

Clear function to return the CMOS back to default and reset

your password.

To reset your password, first power off the computer and set

pins 2-3 to On. Wait at least one minute and set pins 1-2 to

On, then turn on your computer. The password has now been

cleared and the CMOS is back to its default. You may enter a

new password and/or change to a new setting.

Jumper JP13

Flash EPROM Type

Set JP13 pins 1-2 to On if you are using a 5V Flash EPROM

(29F010/29EE010). Set pins 2-3 to On if you are using a

12V Flash EPROM (28F010).

G586SP/G586SP AIO

Cache Configuration

The system board supports 3.3V pipeline burst or asynchro-

nous cache SRAM installed in the 160-pin cache module

slot. The board can be configured to the following cache

sizes: 256KB, 512KB, or 1MB.

Installing the Cache Module

1. Locate the 160-pin cache module slot on the system

board. 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 top of it to seat it properly.

Note:

Do not use 5V SRAM as they will not function properly. You

must first remove the onboard SRAM and/or TAG SRAM and

select the appropriate module type on JP14 before installing

the cache module.

G586SP/G586SP AIO

2. Once the cache module has been installed, make sure the

“External Cache” option in the BIOS Features Setup

menu of the Award PnP BIOS CMOS Setup Utility is set

to “Enabled”.

Note:

With the cache module installed in the cache module slot, the

length of the add-on card in PCI Slot 4 is limited to 205 mm

only if its components protrude more than 5 mm from the

components and/or solder side of the card.

G586SP/G586SP AIO

CPU Installation

The system board is equipped with a 321-pin Zero Insertion

Force (ZIF) socket (see page 8 for socket location). This

socket is designed for easy removal of an old CPU and easy

insertion of an upgrade CPU. 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.

Do not change any factory CPU speed jumper settings. You

do not need to change any jumpers to properly install the

3.3V Pentium Upgrade Processor.

Before proceeding with the upgrade, take note of the

following. The microprocessor 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 processor 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 OverDrive Processor

installation, the ZIF socket has a Plug/Keying mechanism.

Several holes in the socket are plugged so that OverDrive

Processors will go in only one way. If you cannot easily

insert the OverDrive Processor, verify that pin 1 of the CPU

is aligned with pin 1 of the socket. Be extremely careful to

match pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1 of the socket. Only Intel's

OverDrive Processor is keyed to prevent improper placement

in the ZIF socket. Other Intel CPUs, as well as CPUs from

other vendors, can be placed incorrectly and will be

permanently damaged if incorrectly placed. Usually, pin 1 of

the CPU is marked by a dot or a cut corner.

G586SP/G586SP AIO

Installation Procedure

To install a CPU, do the following.

1. Make sure the handle on the side of the ZIF socket is up.

To raise the handle, push it down, slightly pull it out to

the side, then raise it as far as it will go. The top plate

will slide back. Do not use screwdrivers or other tools to

open the socket, or you may damage the system or

socket. It may be necessary to initially apply a small

amount of sideways force to free the handle from its

retaining “tab.” Once clear of the “tab,” the handle will

open relatively easily.

2. Once the lever is completely up, remove the old CPU by

carefully lifting it straight out of the socket. You are now

ready to insert the new CPU.

G586SP/G586SP AIO

3. Position the CPU above the ZIF socket. Make sure pin 1

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

chip until the pins are inserted properly in their

corresponding holes. Remember that very little force is

needed to install the CPU. If the CPU will not insert

easily, verify pin 1 of the CPU is aligned with pin 1 of

the socket. Applying too much pressure can damage the

CPU or the socket.

4. Push the handle down until the handle locks into place.

The top plate will slide forward. You will feel some

resistance as the pressure starts to secure the CPU in the

socket. This is normal and will not damage the CPU.

However, if the handle is not completely closed, damage

to the CPU and/or system board may result.

G586SP/G586SP AIO

Clearance Requirements

The 3.3V Pentium OverDrive Processor comes with a heat

sink mounted on top. To maintain proper airflow once the

upgrade is installed on the system board, the processor and

heatsink require certain space clearances.

The clearance above 3.3V Pentium OverDrive Processor's

fan/heatsink must be at least 0.4 inches. The clearance on at

least 3 of 4 sides of the processor must be at least 0.2 inches.

The cables (for floppy drive, hard drive, CD-ROM, etc.)

must be routed clear of the CPU and its airspace.

Fan Exhaust

The CPU must be kept cool by using a fan exhaust

configuration in connection with the heatsink. The

temperature of the air entering the fan/heatsink cannot exceed

45°C (113°F). The ambient or room temperature must be

below 37°C (99°F) for a system installed with the 3.3V

Pentium Upgrade Processor.

In order to provide proper airflow to the CPU, all movable

obstructions (power supply cables, cards, floppy disk cables)

must be clear of the CPU fan/heatsink component in

accordance with the space clearance discussed in the CPU

installation section of this manual.

G586SP/G586SP AIO

Built-in Ports

The system board is equipped with two serial ports, one SPP

parallel printer port, one FDD connector, two IDE hard disk

shrouded headers, and/or one optional PS/2 mouse connector.

Serial Ports

The built-in serial ports are RS-232C asynchronous commu-

nication ports with 16C550A-compatible UARTs that can be

used with modems, serial printers, remote display terminals,

and other serial devices. They use the following system I/O

addresses: (1) COM 1: 3F8h; (2) COM 2: 2F8h.

Connecting the Serial Ports: J4, J5

Two DB-9P serial port cables are provided with the mother-

board. They are mounted on a card-edge bracket along with

the optional PS/2 mouse cable. The upper serial port cable

should be used for the COM 1 primary serial port; connect it

to Connector J4 on the motherboard. The lower serial port

cable should be used for the COM 2 secondary serial port;

connect it to Connector J5 on the motherboard. Make sure

the colored stripes on the ribbon cables are aligned with pin

1 of Connectors J4 and J5.

PS/2 Mouse Port (optional): J3

The PS/2 mouse port is a 6-pin connector on the system

board. Attach the 6-pin mouse port cable to Connector J3

and make sure the brown wire on the PS/2 mouse connector

aligns with pin 1 of Connector J3.

Parallel Port: J8

The system board has a standard connector for interfacing

your PC to a parallel printer. This port is compatible with

both IBM AT printer ports and the new, high speed, bidirec-

tional Extended Capabilities Port standard. The parallel port

on your system board can be set to any of the following

system I/O addresses: (1) 3BC-3BE Hex; (2) 378-37A Hex

(Default); (3) 278-27A Hex.

Connecting the Parallel Printer Port

Attach the DB-25S printer port cable, which came with the

motherboard, to Connector J8. Make sure the colored stripe

on the ribbon cable aligns with pin 1 of Connector J8. Use a

small nutdriver to mount the cable into a DB-25 cutout in

the system chassis.

Floppy Disk Drive Controller

The system board has a built-in floppy disk controller that

supports two standard floppy disk drives. You can install any

720KB/1.2MB/1.44MB floppy disk drives.

The Floppy and Hard Disk Connector on the System Board

Connecting the Floppy Disk

Step 1

Install the 34-pin header connector into the floppy disk

connector (J11) on the system board. The colored edge of

the ribbon should be aligned with pin 1 of connector J11.

Step 2

Install the other 34-pin header connector(s) into the disk

drive(s) with the colored edge of the daisy chained ribbon

cable aligned with pin 1 of the drive edge connector(s). The

end-most connector should be attached to the drive you want

to designate as Drive A.

G586SP/G586SP AIO

Connecting the IDE Hard Disk Interface

To prevent improper IDE cable installation, each PCI IDE

shrouded header has a keying mechanism. The 40-pin

connector on the IDE cable can be placed into the header

only if pin 1 of the connector is aligned with pin 1 of the

header.

PCI IDE Shrouded Header

Step 1

If you are connecting two hard drives, install the 40-pin

connector of the IDE cable into the primary IDE shrouded

header (Connector J12). If you are adding a third or fourth

IDE device, install the 40-pin connector of the other IDE

cable into the secondary IDE shrouded header (Connector

J13).

Step 2

Install the other 40-pin header connector(s) into the device

with the colored edge of the ribbon cable aligned with pin 1

of the drive edge connector(s).

Note:

Refer to your disk drive user's manual for information about

selecting proper drive switch settings.

G586SP/G586SP AIO

Adding a Second IDE Hard Drive

When using two IDE drives, one must be set as the master

and the other as the slave. Follow the instructions provided

by the drive manufacturer for setting the jumpers, drive type,

and/or switches on the drives. No changes are needed on the

system board when adding a second hard drive.

It is recommended that the IDE hard drives be from the same

manufacturer. In a few cases, drives from two different

manufacturers will not function properly when used together.

The problem lies in the hard drives, not the system board.

Preparing an IDE Drive for Use

IDE disk drives are already low-level formatted, with any

bad-track errors entered, when shipped by the drive manufac-

turer. Do not attempt to do a low-level format or you may

cause serious damage to the drive. To use an IDE drive, you

need to enter the drive type into the system’s CMOS setup

table. Then run FDISK and FORMAT provided with DOS.

Warning:

Do not run FDISK and FORMAT programs on a drive that

has already been formatted or you will lose all programs

and data stored on the drive.

G586SP/G586SP AIO

Installing Expansion Cards

The system board is equipped with four PCI and three ISA

slots. All four PCI slots are bus masters. One PCI slot and

one ISA slot are shared. You can only install one card in one

or the other of the shared slots at a time; you cannot install

devices in both slots.

Due to the size of the CPU with its accompanying heatsink/

fan component, the length of the add-in cards in PCI slots 1,

2, and 3 is limited to 205mm (measured from the bracket of

the card).

The length of the add-in card in PCI slot 4 is limited to

205mm only if its components protrude more than 5mm from

the components and/or solder side of the card. The locations

of the expansion slots are shown on page 8.

Note:

The BIOS needs to be configured for the PCI add-on cards

installed in the PCI slots. Refer to the “PCI Configuration

Setup” chapter presented in the “Initial Setup Program”

section of the manual.

Software Driver Installation

To install the IDE and/or VGA driver and utilities supported by

the system board, please refer to the "Readme" files provided in

the provided diskettes.

G586SP/G586SP AIO

v TroubleshootingChecklist

If you experience difficulty with the system board, refer to

the checklist below. If you still cannot isolate the problem,

please contact your dealer.

1. Check the jumper settings to ensure that the jumpers are

properly set. If in doubt, refer to the “Board Configura-

tion” section.

2. Verify that all SIMMs are seated securely into the bank

sockets.

3. Make sure the SIMMs are in the correct locations.

4. Check that all populated memory banks are filled with

correctly sized SIMMs.

5. If your board fails to function, place the board on a flat

surface and seat all socketed components (gently press

each component into the socket).

6. If you made changes to the BIOS settings, reenter setup

and load the BIOS defaults.

1024 or fewer cylinders, the “Large” option will not be

displayed.

Normal Mode

The Normal mode is the generic access mode in which

neither the BIOS nor the IDE controller will make any

transformations during hard-drive access.

The maximum number of cylinders, heads and sectors for

Normal mode are 1024, 16 and 63, respectively.

If you set your HDD to Normal mode, the maximum acces-

sible HDD size will be 528 Megabytes even though its

physical size may be greater than that.

LBA (Logical Block Addressing) Mode

The LBA mode is a new HDD accessing method to over-

come the 528 megabyte limitation. The number of cylinders,

heads and sectors shown on the screen may not be the actual

number for the HDD.

G586SP/G586SP AIO

During the HDD accessing, the IDE controller will transform

the logical address described by the sector, head and cylinder

number into its own physical address inside the HDD.

The maximum HDD size supported by the LBA mode is 8.4

Gigabytes. It is obtained by the following formula.

Large Mode

The Large mode is the extended HDD access mode sup-

ported by the G586SP AIO system board. Some IDE HDDs

have more than 1024 cylinders without LBA support (in

some cases, you may not want the LBA mode). The system

board provides another alternative to support these kinds of

HDD.

The BIOS tells the operating system that the number of

cylinders is 1/2 of actual and that the number of heads is

double the actual. During the disk access, the reverse conver-

sion is done by the INT13h routine.

Example of Large mode:

floppy drive is installed, be sure the Diskette Drive selection

in Setup is set to NONE.

MEMORY SIZE HAS CHANGED SINCE LAST BOOT

Memory has been added or removed since the last boot.

Enter Setup and enter the new memory size in the memory

fields.

MEMORY VERIFY ERROR AT...

Indicates an error verifying a value already written to

memory. Use the location along with your system’s memory

map to locate the bad chip.

G586SP/G586SP AIO

OFFENDING ADDRESS NOT FOUND

This message is used in conjunction with the I/O CHANNEL

CHECK and RAM PARITY ERROR messages when the

segment that has caused the problem cannot be isolated.

KEYBOARD ERROR OR NO KEYBOARD PRESENT

Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure the keyboard is

attached correctly and no keys are being pressed during the

boot. If you are purposely configuring the system without a

keyboard, set the error halt condition in Setup to HALT ON

ALL, BUT KEYBOARD. This will cause the BIOS to ignore

the missing keyboard and continue the boot.

MEMORY ADDRESS ERROR AT...

Indicates a memory address error at a specific location. You

can use this location along with the memory map for your

system to find and replace the bad memory chips.

MEMORY PARITY ERROR AT...

Indicates a memory parity error at a specific location. You

can use this location along with the memory map for your

system to find and replace the bad memory chips.

OFFENDING SEGMENT

This message is used in conjunction with the I/O CHANNEL

CHECK and RAM PARITY ERROR messages when the

segment that has caused the problem has been isolated.

PRESS A KEY TO REBOOT

This will be displayed at the bottom screen when an error

occurs that requires a reboot. Press any key and the system

will reboot.

PRESS F1 TO DISABLE NMI, F2 TO REBOOT

When BIOS detects a Non-Maskable Interrupt condition

during boot, this will allow NMI to be disabled and continue

to boot. You can also reboot the system with the NMI

enabled.

G586SP/G586SP AIO

RAM PARITY ERROR - CHECKING FOR SEGMENT

Indicates a parity error in Random Access Memory.

SYSTEM HALTED, (CTRL-ALT-DEL) TO REBOOT...

Indicates the present boot attempt has been aborted and the

system must be rebooted. Press and hold down the CTRL

and ALT keys and press DEL simultaneously.
