CHAPTER 1INTRODUCTION
1-1
TheMS-6178MICROATXWH5mainboardis ahigh-performancecomputer
mainboard based on Intel®810 chipset. The MS-6178 is designed for the
Intel®CeleronTM (PPGA) processor for inexpensive business/personal
desktop markets.
The Intel®810 chipset is the first generation Integrated Graphics chipset for
the Intel®CeleronTM processor. The graphics accelerator architecture
consists of dedicated multi-media engines executing in parallel to deliver
high performance 3D, 2D, and motion compensation video capabilities. An
integrated centralized memory arbiter allocates memory bandwidth to
multiple system agents to optimize system memory utilization. A new
chipset component interconnect, the hub interface, is designed into the Intel
810 chipset to provide an efficient communication channel between the
memory controller hub and I/O hub controller.
The Intel®810 chipset contains three core components: the Graphics and
MemoryController Hub (GMCH),theI/O Controller Hub(ICH0)
andthe Firmware Hub (FWH). The GMCH integrates a 66/100MHz, P6
family system bus controller, integrates 2D/3D graphics accelerator, 100MHz
SDRAM controller and high-speed hub interface for communication with the
ICH0/ICH. TheICH0 integrates an UltraATA/33(ICH0),USB host controller,
LPC interface controller,FWHinterface controller, PCI interfacecontroller,
AC’97digital controllerand ahubinterface for communication with theGMCH.
The Intel®82802 Firmware Hub (FWH) component is part of the Intel®810
chipset. The FWH is key to enabling future security and manageability
infrastructure for the PC platform.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
2.1 Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard operates with Intel®CeleronTM processor. The mainboard
uses a CPU socket called Socket 370 for easy CPU installation. The CPU
should always have a Heat Sink and a cooling fan attached to prevent
overheating.
3. Press the lever down to
complete the installation.
2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket
and look for the white dot or
cut edge in the CPU. Match
Pin 1 with the white dot/cut
edge. Then, insert the CPU.
It should insert easily.

The mainboard CPU Bus Frequency can be set through BIOS setup
If CPUClock = 66MHz
Core/Bus ratio = 3.5
then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
= 66MHzx3.5
= 233MHz

2.1-4 Fan Power Connector: CPUFAN
This connector support system cooling fan with + 12V. It supports three pin
head connector. When connecting the wire to the connector, always take
note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the +12V,
the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If your
mainboard has System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a
specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of this function.
For fans with fan speed sensor, every rotation of the fan will send out 2
pulses. System Hardware Monitor will count and report the fan rotation
speed.
Note: 1. Always consult vendor for proper CPU cooling fan.
2. CPU FAN supports the FAN control. You can install PC Alert
utility. This will automatically control the CPU FAN Speed according
to the actual CPU temperature.

Note: You can clear CMOS by shorting 2-3 pin, while the system is off.
Then, return to 1-2 pin position. Avoid clearing the CMOS while
the system is on, it will damage the mainboard. Always unplug
