[. . . ] Slots Three 32-bit Master PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Bus slots. One AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) slot. Onboard IDE An IDE controller on the ICH4 chipset provides IDE HDD/CD-ROM with PIO, Bus Master and Ultra DMA100/66 operation modes. Onboard Peripherals Onboard peripherals include: - 2 PS/2 Ports - 6 USB Ports (Rear x 4 /Front x 2) - 1 Parallel Port + 1 Serial Port + 1 VGA Port - 2 IEEE1394 Ports (Rear x 1 /Front x 1) 1-2 Getting Started - 1 RJ-45 LAN Port - Vertical Audio Ports (Line_in, Line_out, Mic_in) - IDE x 2 (ATA100), Floppy x 1, ATX power connector - AUX_IN x 1/ MIC_IN x 1 - MSI S-Bracket connector x 1 - Internal speaker pinheader x 1 - Front panel pinheader x 1 - CPU_FAN x 1/ SYS_FAN x 1 - Clear password pinheader x 1 - Clear CMOS pinheader x 1 Audio AC'97 link controller integrated in ICH4. [. . . ] 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. 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. levers 2-4 Hardware Setup 5. onnect e n oer ble om e ounted n o e 3-pin af C ht af p w ac rf ht m af t ht on the board. n oer onnecor pw c t fan power cable NOTES 2-5 Chapter 2 Memory The mainboard provides 2 slots for 184-pin, 2. 5V DDR DIMM with 4 memory banks. You can install DDR333/PC2700 (for 845GE chipset only), DDR266/PC2100, or DDR200/PC1600 DDR SDRAM modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DDR 1~2). To operate properly, at least one DIMM module must be installed. DDR1 DDR2 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 modules rather than 168-pin DIMM modules used by SDR SDRAM. High memory bandwidth makes DDR an ideal solution for high performance PC, workstations and servers. 2-6 Hardware Setup DDR Module Combination 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 DIMM 1 (Bank 0 & 1) DIMM 2 (Bank 2 & 3) Memory Module S/D S/D Total Memory 64MB~1GB 64MB~1GB 64MB~2GB D: Double Side Maximum System Memory Supported S: Single Side 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. 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. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close. Volt Notch TIP: You can barely see the golden finger if the module is deeply inserted in the socket. 2-7 Chapter 2 Power Supply The mainboard supports ATX power supply for the power system. [. . . ] And then power on the system and short connect #1-2 pin before entering the BIOS (Standard CMOS Features) to clear data. 2-23 Chapter 2 Clear BIOS Password Jumper: JPWD1 The jumper is used to clear the BIOS password. To clear the password, open the jumper and restart your computer. JPWD1 Clear Normal 2-24 Hardware Setup Slots The motherboard provides three 32-bit Master PCI bus slots and one AGP slot. 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 three levels of throughputs: 1x (266Mbps), 2x (533Mbps) and 4x (1. 07Gbps). [. . . ]
