Features Chapter 2
2-1 Introduction
The WinFast 6000ABX - a Socket 370 Processor based Micro ATX Mainboard,
integrating with onboard 3D Audio and AGP slot, is a high performance/cost index
Desktop solution for Intel Socket 370 Celeron Series and other compatible CPUs.
The mainboard uses the integrated ALi M1543C/M1621 chipset and ALi M5203
Audio chip to support the high performance hardware PCI 3D Audio and PCI IDE
controllers. The Host interface supports Synchronous Host/SDRAM clocking
configuration to significantly improve system performance and SDRAM
compatibility.
The built-in fast PCI IDE controller supports ATA PIO/DMA and Ultra DMA33/66
function that can handle data tra nsf er up to 6 6 MB/sec . It prov ides a separ ate data pa th
for two IDE channels that can significantly improve the performance under a
multi-tasking environment.
The onboard PCI 3D Audio supports Microsoft’s DirectSound 3D and Aureal’s A3D
Interface, C3DX positional audio supports 4.1 (or 4+1) channel speakers mode.
Fully supports A CPI OS Di re c te d Power Management, Power on by key boa r d, W ak e
On Lan, Boot-up Anti-Virus and Year 2000 BIOS Compliance.
The built-in USB controller which is fully compliant to OHCI (Open Host Controller
Interface) provides two USB ports capable of running full/low speed USB devices.
The mainboard also supports a system hardware monitor function.

ardware Installation Chapter 3
Static Precautions
Static-sensitive electrical discharge can damage electronic components. To prevent
damage to your sys tem boa rd, it is impor tant to handle it ve ry carefully . The follow ing
measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from static discharge.
Precautions
Use a grounded wrist strap designed for static discharge.
Touch a grounded metal obje ct bef ore you rem ove the board f rom the anti-s tatic
bag.
Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral
chips, memory modules, or gold contacts.
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
Put the system board and peripher als bac k into their a nti-static ba gs w hen not in
use.
For grounding purposes, be sure your computer system’s chassis provides
excellent conductive contact between its power supply, case, the mounting
fasteners, and the system board.
Unpacking
The system board is shipped in anti-static packaging to avoid static damage.
When unpacking the board, be sure the person handling the board is static-protected.
3-1 CPU installation
Please refer to Chapter 1 “Quick Reference an d Installation”.
NOTE: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct
pressure on the label area of the fan.
Heat Sink
Follow the instructions that came with your processor o r heat sink to attach a heat
sink to the processor. Make sure that good contact is made between the CPU chip
and the heat sink.
Processor
You are now rea dy to inst all the p roce ss or. Your m othe rboa rd has a 370- pi n, PPG A
type socket, which supports 370-pin (not SEPP type) Celeron processors. Lift the
lever on the PPGA socket and install with the notched corner of the processor
oriented with pin 1. Fully seat the processor into the socket and then close the lever.
See Figure on next page for views of the PPGA 370-pin socket before and after
processor installation.
You should install the processor to the motherboard first, then install the
motherboard in the chassis, then the memory and add-on cards, and finally the
cables and drivers. Foll owing the installation proc edu re s in the order they appear in
this chapter should eliminate the most common problems encountered when
installing a system.

3-2 Memory Installation
1. The mainboard provides three 168-Pin DIMM (Double In-Line Memory Module)
sockets. It supports a maximum of 1.5 GB memory. You can use SDRAM from 8MB,
16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB to 512MB per DIMM.
2. IF you use 100Mhz CPU Bus/SDRAM bus synchronous frequency , you must use the
qualify SDRAM which meets PC-100 Specifications.
The procedures:
1. Checking: The DIMM slot has two keys marked ”VOLT and DRAM” Thus, the
DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction.
2. Insert the DIMM memory mod ule vertically into the DIMM socket then push it in.
3. The Plastic clip at the side of the DIMM socket will automatically close.
Note: Use only 3.3V unbuffered DIMM
