Hardware Setup
The mainboard supports Intel
®
Pentium
®
4/Celeron 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 sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not find the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer.
CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure
CPU Clock multiplied by Core/Bus ratio equals the CPU core speed.
For example:
If CPU Clock

then CPU core speed =

CPU Installation Procedures for Socket 478
1.
Please turn off the power and unplug the power cord before installing the CPU.
2.
Pull the lever sideways away from the socket. Make sure to raise the lever up to a 90degree angle.
3. Look for the cut edge. The cut edge should point towards the lever pivot. The CPU can only fit in the correct orientation.
4. If the CPU is correctly installed, the pins should be completely embedded into the socket and can not be seen.
Please note that any violation of the correct installation p r o c e d u r e s m a y c a u s e permanent damages to your mainboard.
5.
Press the CPU down firmly into the socket and close the lever. As the CPU is likely to move while the lever is being closed, always close the lever with your fingers pressing tightly on top of the CPU to m a k e s u r e t h e C P U i s properly and completely embedded into the socket.

Installing the CPU Fan
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal management becomes increasingly important. To dissipate 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:
1.
Locate the CPU and its retention mechanism on the motherboard.
retention mechanism
2.
Position the heatsink onto the retention mechanism.
3.
Mount the fan on top of the heatsink.
Press down the fan until its four clips get wedged in the holes of the retention mechanism.
4.
Press the two levers down to fasten the fan. Each lever can be pressed down in only ONE direction.

Note:
Overheating
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating.
Replacing the CPU
While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power supply or unplug the power supply’s power cord from grounded outlet first to ensure the safety of CPU.
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.
Hardware Setup
Memory
The mainboard provides 2 slots for 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM
(Double In-Line Memory Module) modules and supports the memory size up to 2GB. You can install PC2700/DDR333 or PC2100/DDR266 modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DDR 1~2).
DDR DIMM Slots
(DDR 1~2)
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, and requires 184-pin DIMM modules. High memory bandwidth makes DDR an ideal solution for high performance PC, workstations and servers.
2-7
MS-6575 M-ATX Mainboard
DIMM Module Combination
Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. Memory modules can be installed on the slots in any order. You can install either single- or doublesided modules to meet your own needs.
Memory modules can be installed in any combination as follows:
Slot Memory Module Total Memory
DIMM 1
(Bank 0 & 1)
DIMM 2
(Bank 2 & 3)

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 until the golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the socket.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.

Note:
You can barely see the golden finger if the module is properly
inserted in the socket.
Hardware Setup
Power Supply
The mainboard supports ATX power supply for the power system. Before inserting the power supply connector, always make sure that all components are installed properly to ensure that no damage will be caused.
ATX 20-Pin Power Connector: CONN1
This connector allows you to connect to an ATX power supply. To connect to the ATX power supply, make sure the plug of the power supply is inserted in the proper orientation and the pins are aligned. Then push down the power supply firmly into the connector.
ATX 12V Power Connector: JPW1
This 12V power connector is used to provide power to the CPU.

Jumpers
The motherboard provides the following jumpers for you to set the computer’s function. This section will explain how to change your motherboard’s function through the use of jumpers.
Clear CMOS Jumper: JBAT1
There is a CMOS RAM on board that has a power supply from external battery to keep the data of system configuration. With the CMOS RAM, the system can automatically boot OS every time it is turned on. That battery has long life time for at least 5 years. If you want to clear the system configuration, use the JBAT1 (Clear CMOS Jumper ) to clear data. Follow the instructions below to clear the data:

Hardware Setup
Slots
The motherboard provides one AGP slot and three 32-bit PCI bus slots.
AGP Slot
PCI Slots
AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) Slot
The AGP slot allows you to insert the AGP graphics card. AGP is an interface specification designed for the throughput demands of 3D graphics.
It introduces a 66MHz, 32-bit channel for the graphics controller to directly access main memory and provides two levels of throughputs: 2x (533Mbps) and 4x (1.07Gbps).
PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Slots
The PCI slots allow you to insert the expansion cards to meet your needs.
When adding or removing expansion cards, make sure that you unplug the power supply first. Meanwhile, read the documentation for the expansion card to make any necessary hardware or software settings for the expansion card, such as jumpers, switches or BIOS configuration.
