Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 1: Introduction
This manual describes the SB586T family of single board computers. A complete list of products
covered by this manual appears at the end of this chapter. Chapter 1 provides general information
and specifications. Chapter 2 lists the connector pinouts and illustrates the five board layouts in the
series. Chapter 3 describes how to install components and set switches. Chapter 4 describes main-
tenance and troubleshooting. The appendix describes the BIOS.
General
The SB586T series of CPU boards are full featured, industrialized, single board computers support-
fi fi fi
ing the Intel Pentium , Pentium with MMX technology, AMD K6 , and AMD K6-2 processors.
The SB586T series combines on one board many features normally needed for system operation,
including high-speed serial ports, parallel port, and disk controllers. This design reduces the number
of slots required on the passive backplane and allows room for additional feature cards. All onboard
controllers may be disabled through the system BIOS.
The boards feature an external bus architecture that complies with the ISA standard and includes a
PCI-
PCI bus extension to communicate with onboard functions. This extension supports the DEC
to-PCI bridge chip, allowing additional peripherals on the PCI bus.
The SB586T series supports a full range of processors with speeds ranging from 100 to 300MHz.
fi
You may select models with or without MMX support or the similar 3DNow! technology. All
processors fit into a ZIF Socket 7 and include a fan-cooled heat sink. You can upgrade your proces-
sor easily by replacing it and making a few adjustments to a jumper and a DIP switch.
Each board has four 72-pin SIMM sockets, arranged in two banks and will accept up to 256MB of
DRAM using 32-bit EDO or 36-bit FPM SIMMs. ECC memory is also supported. In addition, a
512K onboard synchronous pipeline burst cache is standard on all models.
Year 2000 Compliance
ICS Advent warrants that the SB586T series has been tested for Year 2000 compliance. The boards
have been verified to "roll over" to the year 2000 properly and to indicate the proper date for the leap
year. This warranty applies to the feature board only and does not guarantee that improperly written
application software will report the year correctly.

Onboard Controllers
Onboard controllers for disk drives, serial ports, and parallel ports are incorporated into the design of
the SB586T series. SCSI and video controllers are options at the time of purchase. All onboard
controllers are individually enabled or disabled through the system BIOS. Unless indicated, the
following controllers are present in all models of the SB586T series.
Display Controller (SB586T2V, SB586TS2V, and SB586TT)
The SVGA controller offers 2MB of DRAM and resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 with 256 colors.
Table 1-2 lists the refresh rates and maximum colors available for the supported resolutions. The
display portion includes a VESA feature connector (J11), allowing other peripherals to share signals
and control of the VGA circuitry. In addition, the board has a set of diskettes containing video
display drivers and display-enhancement utilities. The diskettes also contain documentation for in-
stalling and configuring the drivers.

Ultra Wide SCSI Controller (SB586TS and SB586TS2V)
The SCSI connector at J9 is a single-ended SCSI-3 ultra-wide interface based on the 7880 Adaptec
AIC controller. The 8- or 16-bit autoselectable bus width maintains maximum compatibility. With the
16-bit bus width selected (ultra-wide SCSI), throughputs of up to 40MB/sec are possible. You can
easily customize your host adapter with the built-in BIOS-based configuration utility.
A single-ended, 68-pin "P" connector attaches the SCSI controller to a high-density 68-pin SCSI
cable. This cable allows full use of 16-bit wide bus transfers. A 68-pin�to�50-pin adapter is avail-
able to channel the SCSI bus signals to an 8-bit, 50-pin connection for older SCSI peripherals.
Normal SCSI and SCSI wide devices may be used on the same SCSI bus via an optional adapter. If
you mix these devices, ICS Advent recommends a terminated SCSI wide device at the end of
the cable to ensure proper termination of all SCSI signals.
Refer to the SCSI Connection section in Chapter 3 for more information.
Dual EIDE Disk Drive Controller
Two interfaces are provided for EIDE fixed disk drives at J1 and J8. The two EIDE connectors are
located on the PCI local bus and support two drives each. The interface includes LBA and PIO
mode 4 support, allowing up to 16.6MB/sec throughput speeds.
Diskette Drive Controller
The diskette drive controller at J3 supports up to two drives. The diskette drives may range in
density from 360K to 2.88MB.
Manual Number: 00431-220-5 Page 1-3
SB586T Series Manual
I/O Ports
Two serial ports, J5 and J13, are available, each compatible with the 16550 UART. The serial port at
J13 is extended through a 10-pin header on the board to a bracket-mounted DB-9 connector. Both
serial ports are isolated for protection up to 1500V on signal lines.
Note: The SB586TU and SB586TT have a 9-pin header at J18 instead of the DB-9 connector.
An enhanced parallel port at J4 is also included, which is capable of bidirectional communication.
The parallel port is extended through a 26-pin header on the board to a bracket-mounted DB-25
connector.
Watchdog Circuit
The watchdog circuit is a hardware timer that resets the CPU if the timer is not refreshed periodi-
cally. The circuit is refreshed by a trigger pulse provided by the onboard MACH 211 programmable
logic device. This timer is enabled by a switch setting on the back of the board, which, when set,
writes a "1" to I/O address 351h, data bit "0". When enabled, software needs to toggle bit "0" at I/O
address 350h once every 650msec to prevent the timer from resetting the CPU. The watchdog
circuit will also reset the CPU if the +5VDC power input falls below 4.75VDC.
Ethernet Connector (SB586TT)
The SB586TT provides a 10/100 BASE-T DEC 21140-AE controller that complies with IEEE 802.3
and ANSI 8802-3 Ethernet standards. The controller features full-duplex operation, onchip DMA to
minimize CPU access, and external/internal loopback capability. An RJ45 connector is provided at
J20 and an Ethernet LED at J21 (to indicate TX and RX links).
Universal Serial Bus (SB586TU)
The SB586TU, with the high-speed, high-capacity Universal Serial Bus (USB), supports ISA/PCI
passive backplanes with up to 16 PCI expansion slots.

Chapter 3: Installation
Chapter 3: Installation
If you purchased your SB586T single board computer with a chassis, the board and its associated
components will already be installed and tested. If you purchased your board separately or pur-
chased it as an add-on, this chapter will cover the steps necessary to add the board to your existing
system.
Installing the board may involve connecting input/output devices, adding components (such as
memory), upgrading the processor, setting jumpers and switches, and setting up the operating sys-
tem.
Depending on your system, you may only need to do some of these steps. However, since all
components of the computer are interdependent, check this chapter whenever you need to install or
replace components.
EIDE and Floppy Device Connection
The SB586T series has onboard controllers for EIDE and diskette drives. The primary and second-
ary EIDE connectors are J1 and J8, respectively. They both support LBA mode, and each will
connect up to two devices. The diskette-drive connector is J3, and it will also connect up to two
devices. The connectors are keyed so the cables will only connect in the correct direction.
SCSI Device Connection
The SB586TS and SB586TS2V have an onboard Adaptec AIC-7880 SCSI I/O processor to support
ultra-wide SCSI data transfer rates of up to 40MB. This SCSI processor interfaces the PCI bus to an
ultra-wide SCSI bus.
The SCSI controller at J9 supports up to 7 narrow or 15 wide SCSI devices. These SCSI devices
may be connected in three configurations: 8-bit bus, 16-bit bus, or a combination of the two. If you
plan to use SCSI 16-bit devices, you will need a 68-pin cable. If you plan to use both 8- and 16-bit
devices, you must use an adapter.
A 68-pin�to�50-pin male-to-male adapter, ICS Advent P/N 50313-01, is available for a straight 8-bit
SCSI bus chain. A 68-pin�to�50-pin female-to-female adapter, ICS Advent P/N 50314-01, may be
used to place an 8-bit SCSI device on a 16-bit SCSI Wide bus.
CAUTION!
Use only SCSI adapters approved by ICS Advent, which performs extensive testing
on its products. Use of other SCSI adapters to connect SCSI peripherals to the CPU
board could damage the board, its components, or your equipment.
Manual Number: 00431-220-5 Page 3-1
SB586T Series Manual
In 16-bit SCSI wide chains, connect one end of the 68-pin cable to the CPU board, then connect the
SCSI wide devices anywhere else on the cable. To add an 8-bit SCSI device to this chain, place the
appropriate adapter on the cable connector and connect the narrow SCSI device to the adapter
(Figure 3-1). The necessary signals for the 8-bit device are channeled through the adapter to the
SCSI device. The additional 16-bit signals are not carried through the adapter and are sent down
the SCSI chain. Because of these extra signals, you must place a 16-bit device with termination
resistors at the end of the chain to ensure proper termination of all SCSI signals.
DH
W
Figure 3-1: 68-to 50-Pin Adapter
If you need a straight 8-bit SCSI chain, place the 68-pin�to�50-pin male-to-male adapter on the 68-
pin connector on the CPU board. From there, you may run a standard 50-pin ribbon cable to con-
nect the 8-bit SCSI devices as needed (Figure 3-2).
P0D
Figure 3-2: Straight 8-Bit SCSI Chain
The SCSI controller is assigned SCSI ID 7. It is not permanently terminated and therefore may
appear anywhere on the SCSI cable. A SCSI device at each end of the cable must be terminated
using termination resistors to insure the integrity of the SCSI signals. If the controller is at an end
of the cable, you must terminate the device using SCSI utility software.
If your system does not already have a driver for the new SCSI device, you will need to install one
as described in the following section.
SCSI Device Drivers
The SB586TS and SB586TS2V both have an onboard SCSI controller. This controller comes with
supporting SCSI utility software that manages such details as controller termination. When booting
your system, you have the option to configure the drivers or to boot normally.
Most operating systems automatically recognize devices properly installed in the SCSI port. This
recognition allows you to install the operating system from a SCSI-type CD ROM. After installing
the operating system, follow the instructions accompanying the SCSI device(s) to install any re-
quired drivers.
If your system does not recognize the SCSI CD ROM, carefully check for ID conflicts and proper
device termination.

Chapter 3: Installation
Adding/Removing Board Components
Board components may need to be added, removed, and/or configured for your system. User-
changeable board components include RAM, the CPU, and the CPU fan. The instructions below
describe how to install or change these components.
Installing RAM
The SB586T series accepts up to 256MB of RAM. The four 72-pin RAM SIMM sockets will
accept 32- and 36-bit SIMM modules in pairs. (Figure 3-5 shows a basic board layout, or you can
refer to the layouts in Chapter 2.)
Use only tinned lead SIMMs on your single board computer. Install 70ns (or faster) SIMMs to
ensure reliable operation at zero-wait states. Memory SIMMs must be the same size in both sockets
of a bank, and must be installed as a pair. ICS Advent recommends that the SIMMS be of the same
manufacturer and speed.
Note: If you are installing DRAM, you may use FPM or EDO RAM, with or without parity. While
EDO SIMMs are supported, FPM SIMMs with parity or ECC SIMMs are recommended
for critical applications.
CAUTION!
SIMM sockets are rugged, but they can be broken. Use extreme care when
removing a SIMM from its socket. Never force a SIMM into a socket and make sure
the SIMM is in the correct orientation before installation. SIMM sockets broken
due to ABUSE, MISHANDLING, or ACCIDENT are not covered under the
warranty.
Follow these instructions to install RAM on your SB586T:
1. Take proper ESD precautions before starting any work.
2. Turn the SIMM so that the notched corner of the SIMM is closest to the edge of the board. The
notch fits over a post at one end of the socket. This post allows the SIMM to be installed only
in the correct direction (Figure 3-3).

3. Insert the SIMM into the socket at a 45-degree angle (approximately). Make sure the SIMM is
completely seated in the socket (Figure 3-4).
4. Using both hands and applying equal pressure on each end of the module, push the module
forward until it �clicks.� This locks the SIMM into position. The pegs of the socket should be
in the alignment holes of the SIMM.

Chapter 3: Installation
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your single-board computer when changing processors, you
must adjust the settings on both S1 and JP3 (described later in this chapter).
Follow the steps below to install a new CPU onto your board.
1. Push the lever arm of the ZIF socket down and away from the socket. Then lift the arm to a vertical
position.
2. Align the CPU with the ZIF socket so that pin 1 of the CPU is above pin 1 on the socket. When
properly aligned, the angled corner of the CPU aligns with the angled corner of the socket.
3. Place the CPU in the socket. When properly positioned, the CPU will drop into place.
4. Lower the ZIF socket lever to its original position to lock the CPU into place.
5. Make sure that S1 and JP3 are correctly set for the new processor. Otherwise, your system may
run more slowly than required or the processor may be damaged. Refer to the sections on
jumper settings and processor speed settings, later in this chapter.
6. Refer to instructions provided with your heatsink fan assembly to install the CPU fan.
7. Connect the fan to the power connector at J12 (Figure 3-5).
Jumper Settings
The SB586T series has three jumpers and a DIP switch that may require adjustment. Figure 3-5
shows the jumper locations. (JP2 has different locations in the SB586TT and SB586TU boards, but
this jumper presently requires no customer attention on any board in the SB586T series.)
JP1
JP1 allows you to enable IRQ12 and disable a PS/2 mouse. If you need the interrupt, but do not
need the mouse, just remove the shunt.
JP2
JP2 is for factory use only.
JP3
JP3 sets voltage levels for different processors. If you change the processor, you must change the
settings on S1 and JP3. Both S1 and JP3 are discussed in more detail later in this chapter.

electricity. Use proper precautions to protect against electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Only qualified personnel should attempt these procedures.
CPU does not boot, there is no beep, and no video.
A. Ensure that the CPU is fully seated in the CPU socket and is correctly oriented to pin 1.
B. With power off, clear CMOS by shorting across E1 as discussed at the end of Chapter 3, then
try booting your system again.
C. Contact Customer Service at 800-480-0044 (U.S. and Canada) or 858-677-0877 (interna-
tional) to receive the latest BIOS flash file. Refer to Appendix A for BIOS upgrade instructions.
When booting, system reports ’No SCSI Boot Device Found’.
A. This message appears if there is no bootable device on the SCSI bus. Disable the SCSI controller
in CMOS setup if no SCSI devices are being used.
B. If a SCSI hard drive is installed, make sure that all cables and power connectors are attached to
the SCSI peripherals.
Page 4-2 Manual Number: 00431-220-5
Chapter 4: Maintenance and Troubleshooting
C. Ensure that SCSI signals are properly terminated. Only the last physical SCSI device on the bus
should be terminated. (Refer to Chapter 3 for more information on connecting SCSI devices.)
Hard Disk Drive Controller failure on bootup.
A. If you are using an IDE hard drive to boot, ensure that the power connector and the ribbon cable
are properly connected.
B. Check that the drive is configured properly as Master or Slave by jumpers on the drive.
C. Check that the HDD parameters are set up correctly in the CMOS Setup. (You can use auto-
detect on the hard disk to find the correct HDD parameters.)
When booting, the SCSI BIOS banner does not appear.
A. Either the onboard SCSI is not enabled in CMOS or no interrupts are allocated to PCI devices
in the CMOS chipset setup. At least one IRQ must be allocated for each PCI device on the bus.
You can get an extra IRQ by disabling a jumper at JP1. However, when you disable the jumper,
you will not be able to use a mouse with your system.
Non-Plug-and-Play ISA card is not functioning properly.
A. If this card uses an IRQ, make sure that the particular IRQ is reserved to the ’ISA’ bus in the
CMOS chipset setup.
When booting, CPU reports No ROM BASIC.
A. The system cannot find a proper bootable sector on either drive A or C. You need to install an
operating system on the hard drive or insert a bootable diskette in the A drive.
When booting, system gives eight beeps.
A. These beeps indicate a video adapter problem. Try the video card in a different slot.
B. Try a different video card.
C. If you are installing an external video card, check whether the CPU has onboard video. If it does,
you need to disable the onboard PCI video in the CMOS chipset setup before installing the
external video card.
D. If the problem persists, clear CMOS and reflash the BIOS as discussed in Appendix A.
Manual Number: 00431-220-5 Page 4-3
SB586T Series Manual
Note: If you have the SB586T2V or the SB586TS2V and you are using a separate video card,
clear CMOS to enable the onboard PCI Video option in the CMOS chipset setup.
When booting, system gives two beeps.
A. Two beeps signify a parity error. Reseat the memory SIMMs into the SIMM sockets and reboot.
B. If the problem persists, swap SIMMs from one memory bank to the other. If the problem resolves
after swapping, then swap the memory back to the original installation and see if the original error
occurs.
C. If the problem still persists after swapping, install spare memory modules in the CPU.
D. If the problem still persists after installing new memory, then the CPU board may have faulty
SIMM sockets and may need to be returned for repair.
System runs very slowly.
A. The system runs significantly slower if the cache memory has been disabled in advanced CMOS
setup. (Cache memory is automatically disabled when you choose the Fail-Safe option in CMOS
Setup.)
B. Check that S1 and JP3 are set correctly for the processor speed and voltage as discussed in
Chapter 3.

Configuring an MFM Drive
If configuring an old MFM hard disk drive, you must know the drive parameters (number of heads,
number of cylinders, number of sectors, the starting write precompensation cylinder, and drive
capacity). Choose Type and choose the appropriate hard disk drive type (1 - 46). The old MFM
hard drive types are listed on page A-5. If the drive parameters of your MFM drive do not match
any drive type listed on page A-5, select User in the Type field and enter the drive parameters on
the screen that appears.
User-Defined Drive
If you are configuring a SCSI drive or an MFM, RLL, ARLL, or ESDI drive with drive parameters
that do not match drive types 1-46, you must select User in the Type field. You must then enter the
drive parameters on the screen that appears. The drive parameters include:
Parameter Description
Type The number for a drive with certain identification parameters.
Cylinders The number of cylinders in the disk drive.
Heads The number of heads.
Write Precompensation The size of a sector gets progressively smaller as the track diameter
diminishes. Yet each sector must still hold 512 bytes. Write
precompensation circuitry on the hard disk compensates for the
physical difference in sector size by boosting the write current for
sectors on inner tracks. This parameter is the track number where
write precompensation begins.
Landing Zone This number is the cylinder location where the heads will normally
park when the system is shut down.
Sectors The number of sectors per track. MFM drives have 17 sectors per
track. RLL drives have 26 sectors per track. ESDI drives have 34
sectors per track. SCSI and IDE drives have more sectors per track.
Capacity The formatted capacity of the drive is (Number of heads) x
(Number of cylinders) x (Number of sectors per track) x (512 bytes
per sector)
Configuring IDE Drives
If the hard disk drive to be configured is an IDE drive, select the appropriate drive (Pri Master, Pri
Slave, Sec Master, or Sec Slave). Choose the Type parameter and select Auto.
AMIBIOS automatically detects the IDE drive parameters and displays them. Click on the OK
button to accept these parameters.
Select LBA/Large Mode and choose On to enable support for IDE drives with capacities greater
than 528 MB.
Select Block Mode and choose On to support IDE drives that use Block Mode.
Select 32Bit Mode and click on On to support IDE drives that permit 32-bit accesses.
Page A-4 Manual Number: 00431-220-5
Configuring a CD-ROM Drive
Select the appropriate drive icon (Pri Master, Pri Slave, Sec Master, or Sec Slave). Choose the
Type parameter and select CDROM. You can boot the computer from a CD-ROM drive.

Chapter 3: Advanced CMOS Setup
The AMIBIOS Setup options described in this section are displayed by choosing Advanced CMOS
Setup from the AMIBIOS HIFLEX Setup Utility main menu. All Advanced Setup options are
described in this section.
Quick Boot
Set this option to ENABLED to permit AMIBIOS to boot within 5 seconds. This option replaces the
old Above 1 MB Memory Test option. The optimal and fail-safe default settings are DISABLED.
Setting Description
DISABLED AMIBIOS tests all system memory. AMIBIOS wait up to 40 seconds for a
READY signal from the IDE drive. AMIBIOS waits up to .5 seconds after sending
a RESET signal to the IDE drive to permit the IDE drive to send a READY signal.
AMIBIOS checks if the key was pressed. Setup is executed if was
pressed.
ENABLED AMIBIOS does not test any system memory above 1 MB. AMIBIOS does not
wait for a READY signal from the IDE drive. If a READY signal is not received
immediately, AMIBIOS does not configure the drive. AMIBIOS does not wait .5
seconds after sending a RESET signal to the IDE drive. AMIBIOS does not check
if the key was pressed.
Boot Up Num Lock
When this option is set to ON, AMIBIOS turns off the NUM LOCK key when the system is
powered on so the end user can use the arrow keys on both the numeric keypad and the keyboard.
The settings are ON or OFF. The optimal default and fail-safe default settings are ON.
st
1 Boot Device
This option sets the sequence of boot drives for the first boot device that AMIBIOS attempts to boot
from after POST completes. The settings are DISABLED, IDE-0, IDE-1, IDE-2, IDE-3, FLOPPY,
FLOPTICAL, SCSI, CD-ROM, or NETWORK. The optimal and fail-safe default settings are
FLOPPY.
