Recommendations
This mainboard automatically determines the CPU clock frequency and
system bus frequency for the kind of processor that you install. You may
be able to change these automatic 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 the mainboard
to run processors or other components faster than their rated speed.
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.
Components on this mainboard can be damaged by discharges of static
electricity. Handle the board carefully holding it by the edges. Don’t flex
or stress the circuit board. Keep the board in its static-proof packing until
you are ready to install it. Follow the static guidelines given at the
beginning of Chapter 2.

Features
The key features of this mainboard are the wide range of processors that
can be installed, and the high level of integration which includes built-in
audio, video, and communications.
Value-class Processors
Functioning as a platform for a value PC, the MS7012D is ideally suited
for the PPGA (Plastic Pin Grid Array) Celeron processor. The PPGA
Celeron has 32k of internal cache memory, 128K of external cache
memory, and operates over a 66MHz system bus. The PPGA Celeron
ships with clock speeds running from 300 MHz through to 500 MHz. The
PPGA Celeron is the premiere choice for an entry-level PC. For slightly
better performance, the MS7012D can be installed with a slot-1
processor. The SEPP (Single Edge Processor Package) Celeron is the
least expensive Dlot-1 processor. It has 32K of internal cache memory,
128K of external cache memory (except for older versions), and
operates over a 66 MHz system bus. SEPP Celerons ship with clock
speed ranging from 266 MHz through 500 MHz.
For higher-performance business class computing, the slot-1 can be
installed with a Pentium-III or Pentium-II processor cartridge. The
Pentium cartridges have 32K of internal cache memory and 512K of
external cache memory. They operate over a 100 MHz system bus
(except for older versions). The Pentium-II ships with clock speeds
running from 233 MHz through to 450 MHz and the Pentium-III ships
with clock speeds of 450, 500, and 550 MHz
Intel’s 810 Chipset
This board features the 810 chipset from Intel. The 810 chipset is
designed to reduce the cost and improve the multimedia capability of
value PCs. The chipset features an integrated AGP (Accelerated
Graphics Port) graphics controller which is optimized to produce smooth
rendition of 2D and 3D video. Digital video output is supported so that
the system can display on a TV or a flat-panel display with digital video
input. The graphics controller improves performance and reduces cost
by dynamically allocating a segment of active memory as video memory.
The 810 I/O chip (82801 I/O Controller Hub) makes a direct connection
between the graphics system and the IDE controller and the PCI bus. It
uses Accelerated Hub Architecture to effectively double the bandwidth
between these components enabling more life like audio and video. It
includes an integrated Audio-Codec controller (AC97) that lets the
5
processor more effectively decode sound generated by the integrated
audio system or the integrated fax/modem. Finally, the P82802 Firmware
Hub allows the system and video BIOS to be stored (eliminating the
need for non-volatile CMOS memory) for faster execution, and provides
a random number generator to enable strong encryption routines.
Inexpensive Memory
The board has two DIMM sockets for the installation of 168-pin, 3.3V
non-buffered DIMM memory modules. The DIMM memory modules must
be installed with SDRAM memory chips. The board supports a memory
bus of 66 MHz or 100 MHz, so you can choose between inexpensive 66
MHz memory modules or high-performance PC-100 memory modules.
Each installed memory module can be populated with 8 MB up to 256
MB of memory, so a maximum total of 512 MB memory can be installed.
The integrated video system uses a shared memory architecture so that
you must reserve some of the installed memory as video memory using
the system BIOS. You must install at least one memory module.
Highly Integrated Design
As well as the Intel 810 chipset, the MS7012D features other highly
integrated silicon chips. The ITE LPC I/O controller handles the
mainboard’s I/O functions. The CMI 8738/PCI C3DX is a two-chip
solution that provides an integrated audio and fax/modem system. The
Chrontel CH7007A is a single chip dedicated to converting digital PC
output to a TV format.
Built-in AGP 3D-Graphics
The Intel 810 chipset includes an integrated AGP controller that is
optimized for smooth 2D and 3D video. The graphics system shares
active memory and does not require dedicated video memory. Video is
delivered through a regular 15-pin connector, or as a low cost alternative
to a monitor, the system can display on a regular TV set by using an
optional TV-out extension bracket with an RCA video jack.
Built-in PCI 3D Sound
The PCI Audio CMI 8738 is a single chip solution for PCI-bus 3D audio.
The chip provides Sound Blaster 16-bit-compatible audio, plus support
for Microsoft’s DirectSound 3D specification and Aureal A3D interface.
The sound ports include jacks for speakers, microphone and stereo in,
and a game/MIDI port. The audio system supports full duplex operation
and drivers are available for WIN 95/98 and WIN NT 4.0. The audio
system can output sound to 4 loudspeakers and also supports SPDIF
24-bit digital sound input and output.
6
Built-in V.90 Fax/modem
The PCI C3DX chip is a single chip solution for value PC
communications. The chip supports 56 Kbps transmission using rhe V.90
protocol. The chip is integrated with the built-in audio system to support
voice as well as data transmissions.
Up-to-date Expansion Options
This is a full-sized ATX board with a full set of current technology
expansion slots. The mainboard no longer supports the legacy ISA
(Industry Standard Architecture) 8/16-bit slots. Instead, the board
provides five 32-bit PCI (Peripheral Components Interconnect) slots, with
each slot supporting Ultra DMA 66/33 and bus mastering. In addition, the
board has an AMR slot. The AMR slot lets you install an AMR (Audio
Modem Riser) card. Because the regulations regarding the use of
modems is different from country to country , mainboard manufacturers
can simply install a standard AMR slot which can be used by third-party
Audio Modem Riser cards that have been certified for use in the local
territory.
Integrated I/O
Using the ITE LPC I/O chip and the Intel 810 chipset, the board has a
comprehensive set of integrated I/O ports. The I/O port array features
PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports, a parallel port, two USB ports, one
serial port, a monitor port, a game/MIDI port, and three audio jacks. The
mainboard has connectors for the installation of a second serial port ,
TV-out ports (supplied on optional extension brackets), an infrared port
(for IrDA or ASKIR), a fax/modem card, and two additional USB ports.
The mainboard includes connections for floppy diskette drives and two
PCI IDE channels.
Keyboard Power On Feature
Using the system BIOS setup program, you can configure the system to
turn on using a keyboard typed password. A green keyboard is not
required.
Programmable Firmware
The mainboard includes Award BIOS which allows BIOS setting of CPU
parameters. The fully programmable firmware enhances the system
features and allows users to set power management, CPU and memory
timing, LAN and modem wake-up alarms, and so on. The firmware can
also be used to set parameters for different Celeron processor clock
speeds so that you don’t need to change mainboard jumpers and
switches.
7
Suspend to RAM Feature
This mainboard features the suspend to RAM function. In a suspend to
RAM, the system is totally powered down with the exception of the small
current required to refresh the system memory. To resume from a
suspend to RAM, press the power button (or use the hot keys or
password if you have enabled a hot-key or password power on). The
system will resume in just a few seconds, and it will appear in exactly the
same state as it was before it was suspended to RAM.

Before You Begin
Before you begin to install your MS7012D mainboard, take some
precautions to ensure that you avoid the possibility of damage to the
product from static electricity. Ensure too that you are installing the
mainboard into a suitable case.
Static Electricity
In adverse conditions, static electricity can accumulate and discharge
through the integrated circuits and silicon chips on this product. These
circuits and chips are sensitive and can be permanently damaged by
static discharge.
♦ If possible wear a grounding wrist strap clipped to a safely
grounded device during the installation.
♦ If you don’t have a wrist strap, discharge any static by touching
the metal case of a safely grounded device before beginning the
installation.
♦ Leave all components inside their static-proof bags until they are
required for the installation procedure.
♦ Handle all circuit boards and electronic components carefully.
Hold boards by the edges only. Do not flex or stress circuit
boards.
Choosing a Case
This a full-sized ATX mainboard that measures 305mm x 243mm. It has
5 PCI expansion slots and an AMR slot. The mainboard will fit most ATX
cases that are designed for full-sized ATX mainboards. With a full set of
expansion slots and support for 4 IDE devices, you might like to choose
a case that has a robust power supply unit that delivers at least 250
watts.
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 MS7012D
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.
12
The mainboard has a set of I/O ports on the rear edge. Ensure that your
case has an I/O template that supports the I/O ports and expansion slots.
How to Set Jumpers
A jumper consists of two or more pins mounted on the mainboard. Some
jumpers might be arranged in a series with each pair of pins numbered
differently. Jumpers are used to change the electronic circuits on the
mainboard. When a jumper cap is placed on two jumper pins, the pins
are SHORT. If the jumper cap is removed (or placed on just a single pin)
the pins are OPEN.
