FCC-BRadioFrequencyInterferenceStatement
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 respon-
sible 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.

MSI Special Features
PC Alert™ III
The PC AlertTM III is a utility you can find in the CD-ROM disk. The
utility is just like your PC doctor that can de-
tect the following PC hardware status during
real time operation:
* monitor CPU & system temperatures
* monitor fan speed(s)
* monitor system voltage
* monitor chassis intrusion
If one of the items above is abnormal,
the program main screen will be immediately
shown on the screen, with the abnormal item
highlighted in red. This will continue to be
shown until users disable the warning.
Note: Items shown on PC Alert III vary depending on your system’s
status.

Hardware Setup
This chapter provides you with the information about hardware setup
procedures. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the components
and follow the installation procedures. For some components, if you install in
the wrong orientation, the components will not work properly.
Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. Static
electricity may damage the components.

Central Processing Unit: CPU
1. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Then, raise
the lever up to a 90-degree
angle.
2. Look for the dot/cut edge. The
dot/cut edge should point to-
wards the lever pivot. The
CPU will only fit in the correct
orientation.
3. Hold the CPU down firmly,
and then close the lever to
complete the installation.

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
sinkandacoolingfanattachedonthetoptopreventoverheating. Ifyoudonot
find the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install
them before turning on the computer.
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system,
always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to
protect the CPU from overheating.
WARNING!

Installingthe CPU Fan
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher
performance, thermal management becomes increasingly important. To dissi-
pate 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 reten-
tion 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 reten-
tion mechanism.
4. Press the two levers down to fasten
the fan. Each lever can be pressed
down in only ONE direction.

CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure
If CPUClock = 100MHz
Core/Bus ratio = 14
then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
= 100MHzx14
= 1.4GHz
5. Connect the fan power cable from the mounted fan to the 3-pin fan power connector
on the board.

Overclocking
This motherboard is designed to support overclocking.
However, please make sure your components are able to
tolerate such abnormal setting, while doing overclocking.
Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not
recommended. We do not guarantee the damages or risks
caused by inadequate operation or beyond product
specifications.
WARNING!

Memory
The mainboard provides 2 slots for 184-pin, 2.5V DDR DIMM with 4
memory banks. You can install DDR200/PC1600 or DDR266/PC2100 DDR
SDRAM modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DDR 1~2). To operate properly, at
least one DIMM module must be installed.
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 mod-
ules rather than 168-pin DIMM modules used by SDR SDRAM. Two types of
DDRareavailableatthetimeofwriting:PC1600&PC2100.PC1600DDRSDRAM
running at 100MHz will produce about 1.6GB/s memory bandwidth. PC2100
running at 133MHz will produce 2.1GB/s memory bandwidth. High memory
bandwidth makes DDR an ideal solution for high performance PC, worksta-
tions and servers.

You can install either single sided or double sided 184-pin DDR DIMM
modules into DDR DIMM slots to meet your needs. Different from the SDR
DIMM, the DDR DIMM has only one notch on the center of module. The
number of pins on either side of the breaks are different. The module will only
fit in the right orientation.
You can install memory modules in any combination as follows:
Slot Memory Module TotalMemory
Slot 1
(Bank 0 & Bank 1) 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB 64MB~1GB
Slot 2

Maximum System Memory Supported 64MB~2GB
DDR Module Combination
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.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.
