MSI MS-6195 User manual

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1-1
The MS-6195 ATX IR3 mainboard is a high-performance personal computer
mainboard based on the AMD Athlon®processor. This mainboard provides
onboard Creative®CT5880 PCI technology in audio. The AMD Athlon®
processor is the newest microprocessor in the AMD K86TM family of
microprocessors.
The mainboard uses the highly integrated AMD®751 system controller and
AMD 756 peripheral controller. The AMD-751 system controller features:
the S2k system interface supports a 100Mhz clock and double-data rate
(DDR) transfers, the 33MHz 32-bit bus interface supports up to six PCI
masters, the 66MHz AGP 1.0 compliant interface supports 2x data transfer
mode, and High Speed memory designed to support a 100MHz SDRAM (PC-
100-compatible-DIMM)withserialpresencedetect(SPD). TheAMD-756
peripheral bus controllers feature an integrated ISA bus controller, an
enhanced IDE controller with Ultra DMA-66 support, and a keyboard/mouse
controller.
The MS-6195 ATX IR3 mainboard is one of our system board to implement
the AMD-750 chipset (AMD-751 and AMD-756), which supports a single
Slot A for AMD Athlon®processor.

2.1-2 CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure
The Mainboard can auto-detect the processor speed. Just insert the
AMD Athlon processor into Slot A.
If CPUClock = 100MHz
Core/Bus ratio = 5
then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Busratio
= 100MHz x5
= 500MHz

2.1-4 Fan Power Connectors: J1, J2, & J3
These connectors 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. Ifyour

speciallydesigned fanwithspeedsensorto takeadvantageofthis function.
Note: 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. This is an optional function for System Hardware Monitor.
