Introduction
The MS-5149 is a high-performance personal computer mainboard. This
mainboard supports Intel® Pentium® processors/Pentium® processor with
MMX™ technology, Cyrix®6x86/6x86L/6x86MXprocessorsandAMD® K5/
K6 processors.The system board supports the Peripheral Component
Interconnect (PCI) Local Bus standard and provides four 32-bit PCI bus
master slots.
It has a cache subsytem that can be configured for 256K or 512 K cache
memory to improve overall throughput.
The system board uses the highly integrated Intel®83430VX Chipset to
support the PCI/ISA and Green standards, and to provide the Host/PCI
bridge. The Intel®82430VX chipset integrates all system control functions.

Hardware Installation
2.1 Central Processing Unit: CPU
TheMS-5149 motherboard operates withIntel®Pentium®processors/
Pentium®processorwithMMXtechnology,Cyrix®6x86/6x86L/6x86MX,
andAMD®5K86/K6processors. It could operate with 2.8V to 3.52V
processors. The motherboard provides a 321-pin ZIF Socket 7 for easy CPU
installation, a DIP switch (SW1) to set the proper speed for the CPU and a
Jumper block (JV1 - JV4, JV5) for setting the CPU voltage. The CPU should
always have a cooling fan attached to prevent overheating.
2.1-1 CPU Installation Procedure
1. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Then raise
the lever up to a 90-degree
angle.
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.
