Chapter 1: Pre-Configuration
This chapter provides all the necessary information for installing the 586MBHP into a standard PC
chassis. Topics discussed include: installing the CPU (if necessary), DRAM installation, jumper
settings for CPU, cache and standard I/O.
Handling Precautions
The 586MBHP has been designed to be as rugged as possible but it can be damaged if dropped,
jarred sharply or struck. Damage may also occur by using excessive force in performing certain
installation procedures such as forcing the system board into the chassis or placing too much torque
on a mounting screw.
Take special care when installing or removing the system memory SIMMs. Never force a SIMM
into a socket. Screwdrivers slipping off a screw and scraping the board can break a trace or compo-
nent leads, rendering the board unusable. Always handle the 586MBHP with care.
IMPORTANT
Products returned for warranty repair will be inspected for damaged caused by improper
installation and misuse as described in the previous section and the static warning below.
Should the board show signs of abuse, the warranty will become void and the customer will be
billed for all repairs and shipping and handling costs.
Static Warning
The 586MBHP contains delicate electronic semiconductors that are highly sensitive to static elec-
tricity. These components, if subjected to a static electricity discharge, can be weakened thereby
reducing the serviceable life of the system board. BEFORE THE BOARD IS REMOVED FROM
ITS PROTECTIVE ANTISTATIC PACKAGING TAKE PROPER PRECAUTIONS! Work on a
conductive surface that is connected to ground. Before touching any electronic device, ground
yourself by touching an unpainted metal object or, and highly recommended, use a grounding strap.
