Introducing the Mainboar d
IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn
Thank you for choosing the L4S5MG3 mainboard. This micro-ATX mainboard
comes with the high performance SiS650GL/SiS651 Northbridge and SiS962
Southbridge chipsets. It accommodates Intel Pentium 4 processors, which
supports a frontside bus (FSB) speeds up to 400/533 MHz.
The SiS650GL/SiS651 Northbridge provides a high performance 2D/3D
Graphic Engine, Video Accelerator and Advanced Hardware Acceleration
MPEGI/MPEGII Video Decoder for the Intel Pentium 4 series based PC systems. It offers bandwidth up to 2.7GB/s under DDR333, 2GB/s under DDR266
and 1GB/s under PC 133 in order to sustain the bandwidth demand from host
processor, as well as the multi I/O masters and AGP masters.
The SiS962 Southbridge integrates one Universal Serial Bus 2.0 Host Controllers, the 1394a controller, audio controller with AC 97 interface, Ethernet MAC
controller with standard MII interface, three Universal Serial Bus 1.1 Host
Controllers and the IDE Master/Slave controllers.
The mainboard has an advanced full set of I/O ports, such as dual channel
IDE interfaces, a floppy controller, a high-speed serial port, a VGA port, an
EPP/ECP capable bi-directional parallel port connector, four USB (Universal
Serial Bus) connector, a PS/2 keyboard, mouse and 1394a connectors. One
AGP slot, three PCI local bus slots and one communication and networking
riser (CNR) slot provide expandability for add-on peripheral cards.
Featuring good stability and performance, and the advanced SiS chipset, the
L4S5MG3 is an excellent Pentium 4 DDR mainboard for the budget-conscious
consumer. It is the ideal solution for any home or workstation PC.

There are many types of computer cases on the market. The mainboard complies with the specifications for the Micro ATX system case. Some features on
the mainboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the mainboard to
indicators and switches on the system case. Ensure that your case supports
all the features required. The mainboard can support one or two floppy diskette drives and four enhanced IDE drives. Ensure that your case has sufficient
power and space for all the drives that you intend to install.
Most cases have a choice of I/O templates in the rear panel. Make sure that
the I/O template in the case matches the I/O ports installed on the rear edge
of the mainboard.
This mainboard has a Micro ATX form factor of 244 x 220 mm. Choose a case
that accommodates this form factor.

Follow these safety precautions when installing the mainboard:
• W ear a grounding strap attached to a grounded device to avoid
damage from static electricity.
• Discharge static electricity by touching the metal case of a safely
grounded object before working on the mainboard.
• Leave components in the static-proof bags they came in.
• Hold all circuit boards by the edges. Do not bend circuit boards.

Refer to the following illustration and instructions for installing the mainboard
in a case:
This illustration shows an example of a mainboard being
installed in a tower-type case:
Note: Do not overtighten
the screws as this
can stress the mainboard.
Most system cases have
mounting brackets i nstalled in
the case, which correspond to
the holes in the mainboard.
Place the mainboard over the
mounting brackets and secure
the mainboard onto the mount ing brackets with screws.
2. Secure the mainboard with
screws where approp ria t e .
1. Place the mainboard
over the mounting brackets.
Ensure that your case has an I/O template that supports the I/O ports and
expansion slots on your mainboard.

This section explains how to set jumpers for correct configuration of the mainboard.
Setting Jumpers
Use the mainboard jumpers to set system configuration options. Jumpers with
more than one pin are numbered. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the
jumper caps are placed on the correct pins.
The illustrations below show a 2-pin jumper.
When the jumper cap is placed on both pins,
the jumper is SHORT. If you remove the
jumper cap, or place the jumper cap on just
one pin, the jumper is OPE N.

This illustration shows a 3-pin
jumper. Pins 1 and 2 are SHORT.

2-3: Clear
JP2 3-pin BIOS protect 1-2: Write Enabled

Jumper 1 – Use this jumper to clear the contents of the CMOS memory.
You may need to clear the CMOS memory if the settings in
the Setup Utility are incorrect and prevent your mainboard
from operating. To clear the CMOS memory, disconnect all
the power cables from the mainboard and then move the
jumper cap into the CLEAR setting for a few seconds.
Jumper 2 – Enables you to prevent the BIOS from being updated
(flashed). Set the jumper to disabled if you are going to update your BIOS. After updating the BIOS, return it to the
default setting (Enabled).

Connecting pins 2 and 4 to a single- or dual-color, front panel mounted LED
provides power on/off, sleep, and message waiting indication.
Reset Switch
Supporting the reset function requires connecting pins 5 and 7 to a momentary-contact switch that is normally open. When the switch is closed, the board
resets and runs POST.
Power Switch
Supporting the power on/off function requires connecting pins 6 and 8 to a
momentary-contact switch that is normally open. The switch should maintain
contact for at least 50 ms to signal the power supply to switch on or off. The
time requirement is due to internal debounce circuitry. After receiving a power
on/off signal, at least two seconds elapses before the power supply recognizes another on/off signal.

Installing the Processor
Caution: When install i ng a CP U heatsink and cooling fan make sure that
you DO NOT scratch the mainboard or any of the surface-mount resistors
with the clip of the cooling fan. If the cli p of the cool ing fan scrapes
across the mainboard, you may cause serious damage to the mainboard
or its components.
On most mainboards, there are small surface-mount resi stors near the
processor socket, which may be damaged if the cooling fan is carelessly
installed.
Avoid using cooling fans with sharp edges on the fan casing and the
clips. Also, install the cooling fan in a well-l i t work area so that you can
clearly see the mainboard and processor socket.
Before installing the Processor
This mainboard automatically determines the CPU clock frequency and system bus frequency for the processor. You may be able to change these
settings by making changes to jumpers on the mainboard, or changing the
settings in the system Setup Utility. We strongly recommend that you do not
overclock processors or other components to run faster than their rated speed.
Warning: Overclocking components can adversely affect the reliability of
the system and introduce errors into your system. Overclocking can permanently damage the mainboard by generating excess heat in
components that are run beyond the rated limits.
This mainboard has a Socket 478 processor socket. When choosing a p rocessor, consider the performance requirements of the system. Performance is
based on the processor design, the clock speed and system bus frequency of
the processor, and the quantity of internal cache memory and external cache
memory.
