MSI MS-6315 User manual

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1-1
The MS-6315 Micro-ATX S1 mainboard is a high-performance
computer mainboard based on Intel®815E chipset. The MS-6315 is
optimized to support the Intel®Pentium®III (FC-PGA) processor for high-
end business/personal desktop markets.
The Intel®815E chipset integrates a Display Cache SDRAM
controller that supports a 32-bit 133MHz SDRAM array for enhanced
integrated 3D graphics performance. It is a highly-flexible chipset which is
designed to extend the basic graphics/multimedia PC platform up to the
mainstream performance desktop platform.
The Intel®815E chipset implements the host address, control, and
data bus interfaces within a single device. It takes advantage of the
pipelined addressing capability of the processor to improve the overall
system performance. In addition, the chipset also integrates a system
memory controller that supports a 64-bit 100/133 MHz SDRAM array.
The Intel®82801BA (ICH2) chipset is a highly integrated
multifunctional I/O Controller Hub that provides the interface to the PCI Bus
and integrates many of the functions needed in today’s PC platforms. It
communicates with the host controller over a dedicated hub interface and
provides added flexibility in designing cost-effective system solutions.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard operateswith Intel®CeleronTM/Pentium®III(FC-PGA)
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.

CHAPTER 2 HARDWARE INSTALLATION

The mainboard CPU Bus Frequency can be set through BIOS setup.
If CPUClock = 100MHz
Core/Bus ratio = 7
then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Busratio
= 700MHz

•Fan Power Connectors: CPUFAN, SYSFAN & PSFAN
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 con-
nected 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
the power cord from the wall socket.
