Chapter 2. Hardware
Setup
This chapter tells you how to install the CPU, memory
modules, and expansion cards, as well as how to setup the jump-
ers on the mainboard. Also, it provides the instructions on con-
necting the peripheral devices, such as the mouse, keyboard,
etc.
While doing the installation, be careful in holding the com-
ponents and follow the installation procedures.

CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure
If CPU Clock = 100MHz
Core/Bus ratio = 14
then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
= 100MHz x 14
= 1.4 GHz
The mainboard supports Intel®Pentium®4 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.
MSI Reminds You...
Overheating
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, al-
ways 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 sup-
ply 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 to-
wards the lever pivot. The
CPU can only fit in the correct
orientation.
4. If the CPU is correctly
installed, the pins should be
completely embedded into the
socket and can not be seen.
Please note that any violation
of the correct installation
procedures may cause
permanent 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.

Memory
DDR DIMM Slots
(DDR 1~2)
The mainboard provides 2 slots for 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM
(Double In-Line Memory Module) modules and supports the memory size up
to 2GB. You can install DDR200/266/333 modules on the DDR DIMM slots
(DIMM 1~2).

2-8
MD-5000 M-ATX Mainboard
DIMM Module Combination
Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. You can install either
single- or double-sided modules in any order 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 mod-
ule 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 in-
serted 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.
