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.
Cache Memory
The G586SPB 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 at locations U4 and U6 of
the system board. If your system board is mounted with 256KB cache,
you may upgrade your cache memory to 512KB by installing a 256KB
cache module in the 160-pin cache module slot (KM1). Regardless of
the amount of cache memory installed, one SRAM is mounted on loca-
tion U8 for tag RAM to store the cacheable addresses. Refer to page 12
for the locations of the cache module slot (KM1), U4 and U6.
Warning:
We highly recommend that you use the T2BSM32-256 cache module. If
you are using a cache module other than the one recommended above,
make sure your cache module meets the Intel COAST 2.x specification.
Severe damage might occur on the cache module or system board if
you insert modules other than the one specified above.
