1.5. INTRODUCE THE PCI - BUS

Connecting devices to a CPU local bus can dramatically increase the speed
of I/O-bound peripherals with only a slight increase in cost over traditional
systems. This price / performance point has created a vast market potential
for local bus products. The main barrier to this market has been the lack of
an accepted standard for local bus peripherals. Many mainboard and chipset
manufactures developed their own local bus implementations, but they are
incompatible with each other. The VL (Video Electronics Standards
Association) local bus and PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus
specification was created to end this confusion.
The PCI - bus standard, under development since Jun. 1992, which is
designed to bring workstation-level performance to standard PC platform.
The PCI - bus removes many of the bottlenecks that have hampered PC for
several years. On the PCI - bus, peripherals operate at the native speed of
the computer system, thus enabling data transfer between peripherals and
the system at maximum speed. This performance is critical for bandwidth-
constrained devices such as video, multimedia, mass storage, and
networking adapters.
PCI - bus standard provides end-users with a low-cost, extendible and

portable local bus design, which will allow system and peripherals from
different manufactures to work together.

3.1. UNPACKING
The mainboard package should contain the following:
• The GA - 586ATV mainboard.
• USER'S MANUAL.
• Cable set for I/O Device.
• Diskette for BUS MASTER IDE Driver.
The mainboard contains sensitive electric components which can be easily

damaged by static electricity, so the mainboard should be left in its original
packing until it is installed.
Unpacking and installation should be done on a grounded anti-static mat.

The operator should be wearing an anti static wristband, grounded at the
same point as the anti-static mat.
Inspect the mainboard carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling
may cause damage to your board. Be sure there are no shipping and
handling damages on the board before proceeding.
After opening the mainboard carton, extract the system board and place it
only on a grounded anti-static surface component side up. Again inspect the
board for damage. Press down on all of the socket IC's to make sure that
they are properly seated. Do this only on with the board placed on a firm flat
surface.
M DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED.
You are now ready to install your mainboard. The mounting hole pattern on
the mainboard matches the IBM-AT system board. It is assumed that the
chassis is designed for a standard IBM XT/AT mainboard mounting.
Place the chassis on the anti-static mat and remove the cover. Take the
plastic clips, Nylon stand-off and screws for mounting the system board, and
keep them separate.

3.4. DRAM INSTALLATION

The mainboard can be installed with 4 / 8 / 16 / 32 MB 72 pins SIMM module
DRAM, and the DRAM speed must be 60 or 70 ns. The DRAM memory
system on mainboard consists of bank 0 & bank 1.
Each bank consist of 2 PCs 72 pins SIMM module DRAM. Because the 72
pins SIMM module is 32 bits width, using 2 PCs which can match a 64 bits
system. The total memory size is 8 - 128 MB, and various configuration of
DRAM types in the following TABLE are for reference:
BANK0 BANK1 TOTAL SIZE
4MB * 2pcs. 8MB
4MB * 2pcs. 4MB * 2pcs. 16MB
8MB * 2pcs. 16MB
16MB * 2pcs. 32MB
32MB * 2pcs. 64MB
32MB * 2pcs. 32MB * 2pcs. 128MB
The DRAM installation position refer to Figure 3.1, and notice the Pin 1 of
3-5
GA-586ATV
SIMM module must match with the Pin 1 of SIMM socket when the DRAM
SIMM module is installed.
Insert the DRAM SIMM module into the SIMM socket at 45 degree angle. If
there is a wrong direction of Pin 1, the DRAM SIMM module couldn't be
inserted into socket completely.
After completely insert SIMM module into socket, then press the SIMM
module in vertical direction until the left and right metal holders can keep the
SIMM module standing up con-firmly.
3.5. SRAM INSTALLATION
3.5.1 Onboard Sync. SRAM (Pipe Line Burst SRAM)

Sync SRAM consists of 2 PCs Pipeline Burst 64 K x 32- 6/7 for 512KB Sync.
SRAM. The TAG SRAM (U10) is 16KBx8-12.
3.6. CPU INSTALLATION AND JUMPERS SETUP
The system's speed depends on the frequency of CLOCK GENERATOR.

The user can change the selection to set up the system speed to 50 MHz, 60
MHz, 66 MHz or 75 MHz for Intel 75 - 233 MHz 3.3V ~ 3.5V and 2.8V ~ 2.9V
dual power plane Pentium Processor.
The mainboard can use Intel Pentium Processor (MMX or PODP), Cyrix
6x86 and AMD K5 / K6 processor and the CPU speed must match with the
frequency of CLOCK GEN. It will cause system hanging up if the CLOCK
GEN.'S frequency is higher than CPU's.
M The CPU is a sensitive electric component and it can be easily

damaged by static electricity, so users must keep it away from
metal surface when the CPU is installed onto mainboard.
M When the user installs the CPU on socket, please notice the PIN 1
of CPU is in the same corner as the PIN 1 of socket!
M Before the CPU is installed, the mainboard must be placed on a flat

plane in order to avoid being broken by the pressure of CPU
installation.
3.7. CMOS RTC & ISA CFG CMOS SRAM
3-6
There're RTC & CMOS SRAM on board, they have a power supply from
internal battery to keep the DATA inviolate & effective. The RTC is a REAL-
TIME CLOCK device which provides the DATE & TIME to system. The
CMOS SRAM is used for keeping the information of ISA device system
configuration, so the system can automatically boot OS. every time.
Due to the life-time of 3V Li-battery is 5 years, the user can change a new
one to replace old one after it can not work.
3.8. SPEAKER CONNECTOR INSTALLATION

There is always a speaker in AT system for sound purpose. The 4 - Pins
connector J6 is used to connect speaker.
The speaker can work well in both direction of connector when it is installed
to the connector J6 on mainboard.
3.9. POWER LED & KEY LOCK CONNECTOR INSTALLATION

There are a system power LED lamp and a key on the panel of case. The
power LED will light on when system is powered-on, and the key can lock the
keyboard input or unlock it, both of them are connected to a 5 PIN connector.
The connector should be installed to J7 of mainboard in correct direction.
3.10. TURBO SWITCH CONNECTOR INSTALLATION

The TURBO switch on the panel is used for controlling the system speed.
Some program developed on XT should be executed with a low speed
system, so a high speed system needs the speed switching function to
change its running speed.
The mainboard uses 50 MHz speed method to implement DE-TURBO
switching function. The J11 on mainboard should be connected to the
TURBO switch on panel, and user can push in or pop out the TURBO switch
to enable or disable the turbo function of system.
NOTE: If the system already use 50MHz clock, then the TURBO function
will inactive.
3.11. TURBO LED CONNECTOR INSTALLATION

The TURBO LED on panel can indicate the current speed status of system.
The TURBO LED connector should be installed to J12 in correct direction.
3.12. HARDWARE RESET SWITCH CONNECTOR INSTALLATION
3-7
GA-586ATV
The RESET switch on panel provides users with HARDWARE RESET

function which is almost the same as power-on/off. The system will do a cold
start after the RESET switch is pushed and released by user.
The RESET switch is a 2 PIN connector and should be installed to J10 on
mainboard.
3.13. GREEN FUNCTION INSTALLATION

For the purpose of power saving, there are two jumpers, J8 and J9, to make
sure the power saving function doing well.
The J9 is a indicator (green LED) for green function. If the green LED is ON,
the system is operating in green mode.
The J8 is a switch to force the system get into green mode immediately.
3.14. PERIPHERAL DEVICE INSTALLATION

After the device installation and jumpers setup, the mainboard can be
mounted into the case and fixed by screw. To complete the mainboard
installation, the peripheral device could be installed now. The basic system
needs a display interface card and a disk device.
If the PCI - Bus device is to be installed in the system, any one of four PCI -
Bus slots can be used no matter Slave or Master PCI - Bus device being
installed. After installing the peripheral device, the user should check
everything again, and prepare to power-on the system.
3.15. KEYBOARD SETTING FUNCTION

After booting the O.S., there are some special functions used by keyboard as
follows:
"CTRL_ALT_DEL" − Pressing these keys simultaneously will cause
system to Warm Start (Software Reset).

BIOS Configuration
4. BIOS CONFIGURATION
Award's BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify
the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in battery-
backed CMOS SRAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power
is turned off.
4.1. ENTERING SETUP
Power ON the computer and press <Del> immediately will allow you to enter
Setup. The other way to enter Setup is to power on the computer, when the

disk error; it will stop for all other errors
• Memory
The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On

Self Test) of the BIOS.
Base Memory
The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or
conventional) memory installed in the system. The value of the
base memory is typically 512 K for systems with 512 K memory
installed on the motherboard, or 640 K for systems with 640 K
or more memory installed on the motherboard.
Extended Memory
The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present

during the POST. This is the amount of memory located above
1 MB in the CPU's memory address map.
Expanded Memory
Expanded Memory in memory defined by the

Lotus/Intel/Microsoft (LIM) standard as EMS. Many standard
DOS applications can not utilize memory above 640 K, the
Expanded Memory Specification (EMS) swaps memory which
not utilized by DOS with a section, or frame, so these
applications can access all of the system memory.
Memory can be swapped by EMS is usually 64 K within 1 MB
or memory above 1 MB, depends on the chipset design.
Expanded memory device driver is required to use memory as
Expanded Memory.
Other Memory
This refers to the memory located in the 640 K to 1024 K

address space. This is memory that can be used for different
applications. DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep
4-8
BIOS Configuration
as much base memory free for application programs. Most use

for this area is Shadow RAM.

Appendix A: Post Message
APPENDIX A: POST MESSAGE

When the BIOS encounters an error that requires the user to correct
something, either a beep code will sound or a message will be displayed in a
box in the middle of the screen and the message PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE,
CTRL-ALT-ESC OR DEL TO ENTER SETUP will be shown in the
information box at the bottom.
• POST BEEP
Currently there is only one beep code in BIOS. This code indicates that
a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video
screen to display any additional information. This beep code consists of
a single long beep followed by two short beeps.
• ERROR MESSAGE
Once or more of the following messages may be displayed if the BIOS
detects an error during the POST. This list includes message for both
the ISA and the EISA BIOS.
Ö CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED
CMOS battery is no longer functional. It should be replaced.
Ö CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR
Checksum of CMOS is incorrect. This can indicate that CMOS has
become corrupt. This error may have been caused by a weak battery.
Check the battery and replace if necessary.
Ö DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
No boot device was found. Insert a system disk into Drive A: and press
<Enter>. If you assumed the system would boot from the hard drive,
make sure the controller is inserted correctly and all cables are properly
attached. Also be sure the disk is formatted as a boot device. Then
reboot the system.
Ö DISKETTE DRIVES OR TYPES MISMATCH ERROR - RUN SETUP

Type of diskette drive installed in the system is different from the CMOS
definition. Run Setup to re-configure the drive type correctly.
A-1
GA-586ATV
Ö DISPLAY SWITCH IS SET INCORRECTLY

Display switch on the motherboard can be set to either monochrome or
color. This indicates the switch is set to a different setting than indicated
in Setup. Determine which setting is correct, and then either turn off the
system and change the jumper, or enter Setup and change the VIDEO
selection.
Ö DISPLAY TYPE HAS CHANGED SINCE LAST BOOT
Since last powering off the system, the display adapter has been
changed. You must configure the system for the new display type.
Ö EISA Configuration Checksum Error
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY

The EISA non-volatile RAM checksum is incorrect or cannot correctly
read the EISA slot. This can indicate either the EISA non-volatile
memory has become corrupt or the slot has configured incorrectly. Also
be sure the card is installed firmly in the slot.
Ö EISA Configuration Is Not Complete

The slot configuration information stored in the EISA non-volatile
memory is incomplete.
F When either of these errors appear, the system will boot in ISA mode,
which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility.
Ö ERROR ENCOUNTERED INITIALIZING HARD DRIVE
Hard drive cannot be initialized. Be sure the adapter is installed correctly
and all cables are correctly and firmly attached. Also be sure the correct
hard drive type is selected in Setup.
Ö ERROR INITIALIZING HARD DISK CONTROLLER

Cannot initialize controller. Make sure the cord is correctly and firmly
installed in the bus. Be sure the correct hard drive type is selected in
Setup. Also check to see if any jumper needs to be set correctly in the
hard drive.
A-2
Ö FLOPPY DISK CNTRLR ERROR OR NO CNTRLR PRESENT

Cannot find or initialize the floppy drive controller. Make sure the
controller is installed correctly and firmly. If there are no floppy drives
installed, be sure the Diskette Drive selection in Setup is set to NONE.
Ö Invalid EISA Configuration

The non-volatile memory containing EISA configuration information was
programmed incorrectly or has become corrupt. Re-run EISA
configuration utility to correctly program the memory.
F When this error appears, the system will boot in ISA mode, which allows
you to run the EISA Configuration Utility.
Ö 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.
Ö 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.
Ö 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.
Ö MEMORY SIZE HAS CHANGED SINCE LAST BOOT
Memory has been added or removed since the last boot. In EISA mode
use Configuration Utility to re-configure the memory configuration. In
ISA mode enter Setup and enter the new memory size in the memory
fields.
A-3
GA-586ATV
Ö 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.
Ö 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.
Ö 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.
Ö PRESS A KEY TO REBOOT
This will be displayed at the bottom screen when an error occurs that
requires you to reboot. Press any key and the system will reboot.
Ö PRESS F1 TO DISABLE NMI, F2 TO REBOOT
When BIOS detects a Non-maskable Interrupt condition during boot, this
will allow you to disable the NMI and continue to boot, or you can reboot
the system will the NMI enabled.
Ö RAM PARITY ERROR - CHECKING FOR SEGMENT ...
Indicates a parity error in Random Access Memory.
Ö Should Be Empty But EISA Board Found

A valid board ID was found in a slot that was configured as having no
board ID.
Ö Should Have EISA Board But Not Found

The board installed is not responding to the ID request, or no board ID
has been found in the indicated slot.
A-4
Ö Slot Not Empty
Indicates that a slot designated as empty by the EISA Configuration
Utility actually contains a board.
Ö 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.
Ö Wrong Board In Slot

The board ID does not match the ID stored in the EISA non-volatile
memory.
