Thermal Solutions
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal
management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems.
Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable, long-term system
operation. The overall goal in providing the proper thermal environment is keeping the
processor below its specified maximum case temperature. Heatsinks induce improved
processor heat dissipation through increased surface area and concentrated airflow
from attached fans. In addition, interface materials allow effective transfers of heat
from the processor to the heatsink. For optimum heat transfer, Intel recommends the
use of thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the heatsink to the processor.
When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please refer to the website below
for collection of heatsinks evaluated and recommended by Intel for use with Intel
processors.

Introduction of 615TCF/615TCS Motherboard
1-1 Feature of motherboard
The 615TCF/615TCS motherboard is design for use Intel’s new generation Pentium
processors, which utilize the Socket 370 design and the memory size expandable to
512MB.
This motherboard uses the newest Intel 815E B-Step/815EP B-Step chipset, supports
Tualatin, Coppermine, Celeron processors whose 133MHz front side bus & 133MHz
memory interface delivers a clear upgrade path to the future generation of 133MHz
processors and PC-133 SDRAM. It offers ULTRA DMA 100MB/sec (ATA 100) to
provide speedier HDD throughout that boosts overall system performance.
For 615TCF, with integrated 3D Graphic Acceleration, makes this board lower cost
alternative to a video card. For those wanting even greater graphic performance, an
AGP 4X slot is included on the board. This AGP slot will support either a 4X VGA
card or a 4MB display cache AGP In-line Memory Module (AIMM).
And for 615TCS, this board provides on board AGP 4X slot for those wanting even
greater graphic performance.
This board also integrated AC’97 2.1 CODEC on board which is fully compatible with
Sound Blaster Pro that gives you the best sound quality and compatibility. With 2
USB control as well as capability of expanding to 4 USB connectors, which guarantees
this board to meet future USB demand. Moreover, this motherboard has built-in
hardware monitor function that capable of monitor and protect your computer.
This motherboard provides high performance & meets future specification demand. It
is really wise choice for your computer.

∗ When jumper setting Auto it only can support CPU/SDRAM frequency at 66/100,
100/100, 133/100 MHz, we recommend setting 133/133 manually when use F.S.B.
133MHz CPU to increase performance.
In “Miscellaneous Control” section of CMOS Setup Utility, you can increase the
CPU clock step by step increase for over clocking possibility. Please refer to page
13 for more details.
2. Keyboard Power On Function setting (3-pin) : JK1
This allows you to disable the keyboard power on function. Set the jumper to
enabled or disabled if you wish to use your keyboard (by pressing < >) to power on
7
your computer, this feature requires an ATX power supply that can supply at least
300mA on the +5VSB lead. The default is set on disable.

short 1-2 pins of JBAT to store the CMOS data.
To clear the CMOS, follow the procedure below:
1. Turn off the system and unplug the AC power
2. Remove ATX power cable from ATX power connector
3. Locate JBAT and short pins 2-3 for a few seconds
4. Return JBAT to its normal setting by shorting pins 1-2
5. Connect ATX power cable back to ATX power connector

Front Side Bus Frequency
The working frequency of the motherboard, which is generated by the clock generator
for CPU, DRAM and PCI BUS.
CPU L2 Cache
The flash memory inside the CPU, normally Pentium III CPU has 256K or above,
while Celeron CPU will have 128K.
The way to recognize the specification of CPU from the packing Pentium III 370
pins FC-PGA
On the surface of the CPU as shown on the right picture, under the word of
“PENTIUM III” the code is:
RB 80526 P2 866 256

256 :
the size of L2 cache, where here is 256K
Celeron FC–PGA
On the surface of the CPU as shown on the right picture, under the word of “Celeron” the
code is:
566/128/66/1.5V
566 :

1.5V :
CPU internal frequency, where here is 566MHz
the size of L2 cache, where here is 128K
front side bus frequency, where here is 66MHz
the voltage for the CPU
2-3-2 Setting CPU Bus Clock & Memory Clock Jumper
Setting the front side bus frequency and SDRAM frequency
The motherboard uses jumper JS2 and JS3 for the front side bus frequency and
SDRAM frequency setting as shown from the table below:
10
CPU/SDRAM (MHz) JS1 JS2 JS3 JS4
AUTO ON ON 1-2 1-2
66/100
100/100 OFF OFF 2-3 1-2
133/100 OFF OFF 1-2 1-2
133/133 OFF OFF 1-2 2-3
(default)
OFF OFF 2-3 2-3
Example: Using a Pentium
III 866 CPU with front side bus frequency of 133MHz
and PC-133 SDRAM module, the setting of JS3 will be 1-2 and JS4 will
be 2-3. This sets both CPU BUS CLOCK and SDRAM CLOCK to be
133MHz.
For experience user looking for over clocking possibility, please refer to sec 2-3-4.
2-3-3 Install CPU
This motherboard provides a ZIF socket 370. The CPU that comes with the
motherboard should have a cooling FAN attached to prevent overheating. If this is not
the case, then purchase a correct cooling FAN before you turn on your system.
11
WARNING!
Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s
heatsink and CPU cooling FAN is working correctly, otherwise it
may cause the processor and motherboard overheat and damage, you
may install an auxiliary cooling FAN, if necessary.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF
socket and open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then
upward to a 90-degree angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown
below. The notched corner should point toward the end of the level. Because the CPU
has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation as
shown.

CPU ZIF Socket 370
When you put the CPU into the ZIF socket. No forces require to insert of the CPU,
then press the level to locate position slightly without any extra force.
2-3-4 Over clock Running
WARNING!
After setting the Jumper JS3, JS4 you can choose over clock running by BIOS CMOS
SETUP UTILITY. When you entered CMOS SETUP UTILITY, choose
“Miscellaneous Control” you will see the screen as below then.
You can choose the situation you want to try.
This section is for experienced motherboard installer only. Over
clocking can result in system instability or even shortening life of the
processor.

When jumper setting CPU Host Clock 133MHz you can choose 133/133/33∼166/166/41MHz
WARNING!
The Design of this motherboard follows chipset and CPU vender’s
design guideline. Any attempts to push beyond product specification
are not recommended and you are taking your own risk to damage
your system or important data. Before over clocking, you must make
sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting,
especially CPU, memory, hard disks, and VGA cards.
2-4 Install Memory
This motherboard provides two 168-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES
(DIMM) sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 32MB
to maximum memory size of 512MB SDRAM.

NOTE!
Make sure the total installed memory does not exceeds 512MB, otherwise
the system may hang during startup.
Generally, installing SDRAM modules to your motherboard is very easy, you can refer
to figure 2-4 to see what a 168-Pin PC100 & PC133 SDRAM module looks like.

Figure 2-4
NOTE!
When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject
tab should be locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into
its indention on both sides.
WARNING!
For the SDRAM CLOCK is set at 133MHz, use only PC133-compliant
DIMMs. When this motherboard operate at 133Mhz, most system
will not even boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the
