To use an IDE drive, you need to enter the drive type (this information
is provided by the drive manufacturer) into the systems CMOS setup
table. Then run FDISK and FORMAT provided with DOS. You may also
use the IDE HDD Auto Detection function which will allow the BIOS to
auto detect your hard drive type. Refer to the IDE HDD Auto Detection
section for details.
Warning:
Do not run FDISK and FORMAT programs on a drive that has already
been formatted or you will lose all programs and data stored on the
drive.
Installing Expansion Cards
The G586VPS Pro system board is equipped with 3 dedicated PCI
slots, 3 dedicated 16-bit ISA slots and 1 shared PCI/ISA slot. You can
only install one card in one or the other of the shared slots at a time;
you cannot install devices in both slots. Refer to page 13 for the loca-
tions of the expansion slots.
PCI slots 1 to 4 are Bus Masters. Take note - PCI slot 1 and the PCI
IDE controller share the same Master. The PCI IDE controller is the
default Master. If you want to use PCI slot 1 as Master, set jumper
JP14 pins 1-3, 2-4 to On. Refer to the Jumper Settings for Master IDE
section for more information.
Due to the size of the CPU with its accompanying heatsink/fan compo-
nent, the length of the add-in cards in PCI slots 3 and 4 and ISA slots 1
and 2 is limited to 18cm (measured from the bracket of the card).
