Caution!
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.
5
Integrated I/O
The mainboard has a full set of I/O ports and conn ectors. Th e I/O template on the b a ckpl ane in clude s tw o PS/2 p o rts for a mou se and keyboard, one serial port, one VGA port, one parallel port, one MIDI/game port, tw o US B p ort s an d a udi o ja cks fo r micr o phone, 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.

Before You Begin
During installation, avoid damaging the mainboard with static electricity. Ensure 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 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 you intend to install.
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 (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
Short Open
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.
