Cache Memory

The G586IPC system board can support 256KB or 512KB pipeline

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

come with 0KB or 256KB cache mounted onboard. The 160-pin cache

module slot lets you upgrade your cache memory by installing a 256KB

or 512KB 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 0KB cache, you can install a 256KB or

512KB cache module in the cache module slot. If your system board is

installed with 256KB onboard cache (located at U22 and U23), you can

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

module in the cache module slot. Please refer to page 12 for the loca-

tions of the cache module slot (SSM1), U22 and U23.

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.

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° angle into the bank. Make sure it is com-

pletely seated. Tilt the module upright until it locks in place in the

socket.
