When installing a CPU heatsink and
cooling fan make sure that you DO NOT
scratch the motherboard or any of the
surface-mount resistors with the clip of
the cooling fan. If the clip of the cooling
fan scrapes across the mainboard, you
may cause serious damage to both the
mainboard and the processor.
On most mainboards, there are small
surface-mount resistors 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-lit
work area so th at you can cle arly see the
mainboard and processor socket.

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.
Processors
Functioning as a platform for a value PC, the MS7057C features
a Socket 370 accommodating FC-PGA Celeron 533MHz (533A)
and higher CPUs that support a 66 MHz FSB as well as FCPGA Pentium III CPUs that support a 100 or 133 MHz FSB.
Intel’s 815EP Chipset
This mainboard features the 815EP chipset from Intel. The
815EP chipset is designed for desktops and workstations and
provides ATA-100, 4xAGP, and SDRAM support.
The 82801BA I/O controller hub makes a direct connection between the graphics system, the IDE controller, and the PCI bus.
It uses accelerated hub architecture to effectively double the
bandwidth between these components enabling more lifelike
audio and video. The 82801BA I/O controller hub includes an
integrated audio-codec controller that lets the processor more
effectively decode sound generated by the integrated audio
system.
The 82802 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.
Expansion Options
The mainboard is pre-instal led with featu res such as an onboa rd
AC 97 audio code c and an S IR conne cto r. Si x 32 -bit PC I slots a nd
one CNR slot p rovide e xpan sion op tio ns.
4
Inexpensive Memory
The mainboard has three DIMM sockets for the installation of
168-pin, 3.3V non-buffered DIMM memory modules. The DIMM
memory modules use SDRAM memory chips. The mainboard
supports a memory bus of 100 MHz or 133 MHz.
Each socket can be installed with from 32 to 512 MB of memory.
You must install at least one module, but it makes no difference
which slot you use to install the module.
4xAGP Graphics Adapter Slot
The MS7057C includes a 4xAGP slot to support an AGP card
that provides four times the bandwidth of the original AGP
specification. The AGP design allows the graphics controller to
use part of the main memory when it needs it, for example, in
handling the very large texture maps required by virtual reality
and 3D video games and applications .
Built-in AC 97 Audio Codec
This mainboard uses the AC 97 audio codec. This codec is a 16bit, full duplex AC 97 2.1 compatible stereo audio codec designed for PC multimedia systems. The ALC200 incorporates
Avance’s proprietary codec technology to achieve a high DAC
(digital to analog converter)/ADC (analog to digital converter)
signal to noise ratio. The ALC200 supports multiple codec extensions with up to 48 kHz sampling rates and built-in 3D
enhancement.
The codec supports such applications as 3D PC games, music
synthesis programs, DVD-ROM playback applications, audio
conferencing, and Voice Recognition (VR) utilities.

line-in and line-out. Th e mainboa rd has heade rs for the optional i nstallation of an IR port. An extra COM port can be connected using
an extension bracket . The mainboa rd in cludes two IDE channel s
and a floppy disk drive interface.
Programmable Firmware
The mainboard includes BIOS that allows firmware setting of
CPU parameters. The fully programmable firmware enhances
the system features and allows users to set items such as power
management, CPU and memory timing, and modem wake-up
alarms. The firmware can also be used to set parameters for
different processor clock speeds so that you don’t need to
change mainboard jumpers and switches.
This concludes Chapter 1. The next chapter covers installing
and building a working system.

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 mainboards and electronic components
carefully. Hold mainboards by the edges only. Do not flex
or stress circuit mainboards.
8
Choosing a Case
The mainboard complies with the specifications for the 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 dr i ves. Ens ure that
your case has sufficient power and space for all the drives that

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 (or
shunt) 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.
This illustration shows 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
ShortOpen
just one pin, the jumper is OPEN.
This illustration shows a 3-pin
jumper. The jumper cap is placed
on pins 2 and 3, so this jumper
setting is SHORT PINS 2-3.
This illustration shows the same
3-pin jumper. The jumper cap is
placed on pins 1 and 2, so this
jumper setting is SHORT PINS 1-
2.
In this manual, all the jumper illustrations clearly show the pin
numbers. When you are setting the jumpers, make sure that the
jumper caps are placed on the correct pins to select the function
or feature that you want to enable or disable.

JP1: Clear BIOS jumper
This jumper lets you erase the BIOS Setup Utility settings that
are stored in CMOS memory. You might need to erase this data
if incorrect settings are preventing your system from operating.
You must first set JP2 to open before you can flash the CMOS.
To clear the CMOS memory, turn off the system, disconnect the
power cable from the mainboard, and short the appropriate pins
for a few seconds. Then return the jumper to the Normal operation setting and power on the computer.
