EISA/PCI System Board
v
Introduction
The E586-ICP/E586-IPE system board offers several
advanced features integrated into the system board. It is
designed based on the new PCI (Peripheral Component
Interconnect) local bus and EISA (Extended Industry
Standard Architecture) standards.
The E586-ICP/E586-IPE supports 273-pin Zero Inser-
tion Force socket for Pentium
TM
processors running at
60MHz or 66MHz bus speed. It also supports an op-
tional Flash EPROM. Flash EPROM is a memory chip
for the storage of BIOS which can be erased in bulk or
modified using a software utility.
The E586-ICP/E586-IPE comes with an EISA Configu-
ration Utility (ECU) that must be installed and run to
configure the board and the EISA expansion boards that
will be inserted in the EISA expansion slots.
The E586-ICP/E586-IPE system board is equipped with
four EISA and four PCI local bus slots. One EISA slot
and one PCI slot are shared, meaning you may use only
one or the other of these three slots. Therefore, in
accord with the PCI standard, seven slots are useable.
The E586-ICP/E586-IPE is also equipped with one
mini-DIN-6 connector for the PS/2 mouse and an op-
tional IDE disk interface, only if installed with the
Symphony SL82C101P chip.
The E586-ICP/E586-IPE can be configured to twenty-
two different sizes from 2MB to 128MB using 256Kx36,
512Kx36, 1Mx36, 2Mx36, 4Mx36 and 8Mx36 HSIM
modules.
