Introduction
This mainboard supports all Socket 7 processors including newer
designs which feature a 100 MHz system bus . The mainboard
firmware supports CPU Plug and Play so that the system will
automatically adopt the correct configuration for the Socket-7
processor that you install.
This mainboard uses the SiS 540 chipset which integrates a 128-bit
AGP Graphics Accelerator and has an embedded
10BaseT/100BaseTX Ethernet Network Interface. The
mainboard has a built-in PCI 3D Sound System and a V.90
Fax/Modem DAA module is shipped with the mainboard. There is
an ADIMM slot onboard for an optional Video Bridge card. The
video bridge card connects to an external TV, a TFT LCD panel
display, or a secondary CRT display monitor. In addition, the
mainboard has a full set of ATX I/O Ports including PS/2
keyboard and mouse ports, two USB ports, a parallel port, a serial
port and a VGA port.

Static Electricity Precautions
Components on this mainboard can be damaged by static
electricity. Take the following precautions when unpacking the
mainboard and installing it in a system.
1. Keep the mainboard and other components in their original
static-proof packaging until you are ready to install them.
2. During installation, wear a grounded wrist strap if possible. If
you don’t have a wrist strap, discharge static electricity by
touching the bare metal of the system chassis.
3. Handle the mainboard carefully by the edges. Avoid touching
the components unless it is absolutely necessary. During
installation put the mainboard on top of the static-protection
packaging it came in with the component side facing up.
Pre-Installation Inspection
1. Inspect the mainboard for damage to the components and
connectors on the board.
2. If you suspect that the mainboard has been damaged, do not
connect power to the system. Contact your mainboard vendor
and report the damage.
Chapter 2
