MSI MS-6117 User manual

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1-1
The MS-6117 is a high-performance personal computer mainboard based on
the Pentium®II processor.
The mainboard uses the highly integrated Intel®82440LX AGPset which
optimize the system bandwidth and concurrency with the implementation of
Quad Port Acceleration (QPA). QPA provides 4-port concurrent arbitration
of the processor bus, graphics, PCI bus and SDRAM.
The Intel®82371AB chipset integrates all system control functions such as
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface). The ACPI provides
more Energy Saving Features for the OSPM(OS Direct Power Management)
function. The Intel®82371AB chipset also improves the IDE transfer rate by
supporting Ultra DMA/33 IDE that transfers data at the rate of 33MB/s.
The mainboard also supports the LM78 System Hardware Monitor
Controller as optional function. The LM78 function includes: CPU /power
supply/chassis fan revolution detect, CPU/system voltage monitor, system
temperature monitor, and chassis intrusion detect(optional).

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
2.1 Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard operates withIntel®Pentium®II processor. The mainboard
uses a CPU Slot called Slot 1 for easy CPU installation and a DIP switch
(SW1) to set the proper speed for the CPU. The CPU should always have a
Heat Sink and a cooling fan attached to prevent overheating.

2.1-1 CPU Installation Procedures
2-2
A. OEM Pentium®II Processor Installation Procedures
There are two kinds of Pentium®II processor that is currently used: the
OEM version and the Boxed version. OEM Pentium®II Processor has no
Heat Sink, Fan and Heat Sink Support, while the Boxed Pentium®II
Processor is provided with Heat Sink w/ fan and Heat Sink Support.
Required Things:
Pentium®IIprocessor - Processor.
*RetentionMechanism(RM) - Plastic Guidethat holdsthe S.E.C. Catridge
in the Slot 1 connector.
*RetentionMechanismAttachMount(RMAM)-Bolt/Bridgeassemblies
inserted up through the bottom of the
motherboard. RM secures to RMAM ( 2
RMAM required per RM ).
*HeatSinkSupportBase(HSSBASE) - Plastic support bar mounted to
the mainboard under the ATX heatsink.

Step 3: Install the Heat Sink Support Base.
Look for the Two holes across Slot 1, and match it with the Two legs
of the Heat Sink Support Base for the proper direction. Take note
that one hole/leg is bigger than the other. The Four top pins of the
Heat Sink Support Base should also be oriented towards Slot 1.
Push the Heat Sink Support Base onto the mainboard, until you hear
a click sound. Check for a perfect fit.
Step 4: Install the Heat Sink Support Pin.
Push the Heat Sink Support Pins onto the two holes of the Heat Sink
Support Base. Check for a perfect fit. These pins are used to secure
the Heat Sink Support Base.

Step 5: Install the Heat Sink with Fan to the Processor.
Push down the metal clips, so that they are in line with the back of
the Heat Sink. Be careful, so as not detach the metal clips from the
HeatSink.
In case the metal clips are detached from the Heat Sink, re-attach
them. Look for the arrow on the metal clip. This arrow should be
pointing down and aligned with the Heat Sink Support Base Holder.
Attach the Heat Sink to the processor.
- Look at the back of the Heat Sink and take note of the 2 secure
posts. Insert these 2 Secure posts to the 2 secure holes on the
back of the processor.
- Align the ears of the metal clips with the clip holders on the back of
the processor. Use a screw driver to push the metal clips onto the
clip holders. Check for a perfect fit.
