FCC-B Radio Frequency Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class
B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equip-
ment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor-
dance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct
the interference at his own expense.
Notice 1
The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Notice 2
Shielded interface cables and A.C. power cord, if any, must be used in order to
comply with the emission limits.

CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure
If CPUClock = 100MHz
Core/Bus ratio = 17
then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
= 100MHz x 17
= 1.7 GHz
The mainboard supports Intel®Pentium®4 Prescott & Northwood processor in the 478
pin package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called PGA478 for easy CPU installation.
When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a
cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not find the
heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before
turning on the computer. (For the latest information about CPU, please visit http://www.

MSI Reminds You...
Overheating
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make
sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from
overheating.
Replacing the CPU
While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power supply or unplug
the power supply’s power cord from grounded outlet first to ensure the
safety of CPU.

CPU Installation Procedures for Socket 478
1. Please turn off the power and
unplug the power cord before
installing the CPU.
2. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Make sure to
raise the lever up to a 90-degree
angle.
3. Look for the gold arrow. The gold
arrow should point towards the
lever pivot. The CPU can only fit
in the correct orientation.
4. If the CPU is correctly installed,
the pins should be completely
embeddedinto thesocket and can
not be seen. Please note that
any violation of the correct instal-
lation procedures may cause per-
manent damages to your
mainboard.
5. Press the CPU down firmly into
the socket and close the lever.
As the CPU is likely to move while
the lever is being closed, always
close the lever with your fingers
pressing tightly on top of the CPU
to make sure the CPU is properly
and completely embedded into
the socket.

Installing the CPU Fan
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal
management becomes increasingly important. To dissipate heat, you need to attach the
CPU cooling fan and heatsink on top of the CPU. Follow the instructions below to install
the Heatsink/Fan:
2. Position the heatsink onto the retention
mechanism.
1. Locate the CPU and its retention
mechanism on the motherboard.
3. Mount the fan on top of the heatsink.
Press down the fan until its four clips
get wedged in the holes of the retention
mechanism.
4. Press the two levers down to fasten
the fan. Each lever can be pressed
down in only ONE direction.

DDR DIMM Slots
(DDR 1~2)
Introduction to DDR SDRAM
DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is similar to conventional SDRAM, but doubles the rate
by transferring data twice per cycle. It uses 2.5 volts as opposed to 3.3 volts used in
SDR SDRAM, and requires 184-pin DIMM modules rather than 168-pin DIMM modules
used by SDR SDRAM.

2-8
MS-7060 Micro ATX Mainboard
DDR Module Combination
Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. Memory modules can be installed on the
slots in any order. You can install either single- or double-sided modules to meet your
own needs.
Memory modules can be installed in any combination as follows:
Installing DDR Modules
1. The DDR DIMM has only one notch on the center of module. The module will only fit
in the right orientation.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the
golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the socket.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.
MSI Reminds You...
You can barely see the golden finger if the module is properly
inserted in the socket.
