Installing Expansion Cards
The C586VX system board is equipped with 4 dedicated PCI slots and 3
dedicated 16-bit ISA slots. All PCI slots are bus masters. Refer to page
12 for the locations of the expansion slots.
Due to the size of the CPU with its accompanying fan/heatsink compo-
nent, the length of the add-in cards in PCI slot 4 and ISA slot 1 is
limited to 18cm (7.07", measured from the bracket of the card).
Universal Serial Bus Connectors
The C586VX system board is equipped with two USB connectors on
locations J1 and J2 on the system board. USB allows data exchange
between your computer and a wide range of simultaneously accessible
peripherals.
Connecting the USB Ports
As an option, one card-edge bracket mounted with two USB port cables
may be provided with the system board. Connect the USB port cables
to connectors J1 and J2 on the system board. Make sure the red wires
of the USB cables are aligned with pin 1 of connectors J1 and J2.
Mount the card-edge bracket to the system chassis. Make sure “USB
Controller” in the Integrated Peripherals setup of the Award BIOS is
Enabled.
USB port cables (optional)
