Features
This is an economic platform which provides entry-level through to business-class
Pentium-II performance for minimum cost. This is a powerful platform that leverages
the low-cost/high-performance features of the new generation of Celeron processors.
Low-cost/high performance Processing
Intel’s new generation of Celeron processors are shipped in the familiar PPGA square
plastic package that are common to all Pentium and Pentium-compatible processors.
The mainboard has a PGA370 ZIF socket for the installation of the Celeron. (Note that
the socket has a different pinout than Pentium/Pentium compatibles and cannot be
used by Socket-7 processors.) The Celeron processor features Pentium-II performance
with internal clock speeds of 300, 333, 366, 400, and 433 MHz (higher speeds may be
forthcoming), 32K of level-1 cache memory, and 128K of level-2 cache memory. The
Celeron is an economic processor because it runs on a 66 MHz system bus so that the
mainboard design and components are not high-cost items. This mainboard allows
entry-level and business-class users to move up to Pentium-II performance at
minimum cost. Configuration for different processor speeds is automatically set by
firmware and motherboard switch or jumper settings are not required.
Inexpensive Memory
The board has three DIMM sockets for the installation of 168-pin, 3.3V non-buffered
DIMM memory modules. The DIMM memory modules can be installed with EDO or
SDRAM memory chips. The board supports a memory bus of 66 MHz, so inexpensive
66 MHz memory chips can be used. Each installed memory module can be populated
3
with 16 MB up to 128 MB of memory, and can be single-sided or double sided.
However, total installed memory must not exceed 256 MB. If you install a doublesided module in either DIMM 2 or DIMM 3, you cannot install any memory module in
the other socket. DIMM1 is independent and does not have this limitation.
Highly Integrated Design
This mainboard features a high level of integrated functions provided by the onboard
chipsets. The Intel 82443EX provides all the north bridge support – CPU and memory
addressing, PCI-IDE controller, and PCI-bus interface. In addition, the 82443EX
provides a complete AGP graphics controller solution. The Intel 82371EB provides
the south bridge support – ACPI power management, real-time clock, and USB
interface. The Winbond W83977EF is a single chip I/O solution, and the Elite PCI
Audio-CMI8338 provides the onboard 3D audio feature. Hardware monitoring is
supported by the GL520SM. This highly integrated mainboard ensures stability and
allows a fully functional system to be created by adding just a processor, a graphics
adapter and memory.
Built-in PCI 3D Sound
The Elite PCI Audio-CMI8338 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 speakers and also supports SPDIF 24-bit
digital sound input and output.
Solid Expansion Options
Because this is a highly integrated board with built-in audio and a full set of I/O ports,
it does not require a full set of expansion slots. The board provides three usable slots.
The board has three 32-bit PCI slots and one 8/16-bit ISA slot. The ISA slot is shared
with one of the PCI slots meaning that you can use either the ISA slot or the PCI slot,
but not both at the same time. PCI1 and PCI3 share a request line. This means that
only one of these slots can support a bus-mastering PCI expansion card.
Integrated I/O
Using the Winbond W83977EF I/O chip and the Intel 82443EX/82371EB 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, two serial ports, a
game/MIDI port, and three audio jacks. Optionally, you can use the built-in mainboard
header to add in an infrared port. The mainboard has two PCI-IDE channels and a
floppy disk drive interface.
4
Hardware Monitoring
This mainboard features hardware monitoring supported by the GL520SM system
monitor chip. Using the system BIOS, system administrators can track critical
hardware parameters such as CPU temperature and cooling fan speeds. Limits can be
set to ensure system power management prevents threshold temperatures and
parameters from being exceeded.
Keyboard Power On Feature
Using the system BIOS setup program, you can configure the system to turn on using
keyboard hot keys and mouse, or 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.

Before You Begin
Before you begin to install your MS-7090S 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
The MS-7090S mainboard complies with the specifications for a micro-ATX board.
The micro-ATX format features small size, fewer expansion slots and smaller power
consumption, so that the system case is less expensive. You can also install this kind
of board into a full-size ATX 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 MS-7090S 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.
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.

Preparing the Mainboard
Prepare the main board by installing the Celeron Pentium-II processor and then
installing either 1, 2 or 3 memory modules. This board supports the new generation
Celeron processor that is packaged in a Plastic Pin Grid Array (PPGA) designed to fit
the PGA370 ZIF socket on the mainboard. You can use a Celeron that runs at either
300, 333, 366, 400 or 433 MHz. Next, install one or more memory modules. Finally,
review all the important jumper settings to ensure that the board is configured
correctly.
8
Install the Processor
This mainboard is installed with a PGA370 ZIF processor socket. This socket will
only support the PPGA Celeron processor. Do not try to insert a socket-7 processor
such as a Pentium or Pentium-compatible processor. The Celeron processors all run
over a 66 MHz system bus and have internal clock speeds ranging from 300 to 400
MHz. Configuration of the processor is made automatically using the mainboard BIOS
(see the Setup chapter).
Follow the steps below to install the Celeron processor in the PGA370 socket.
1. Locate the zero insertion force (ZIF) PGA370 socket for the processor.
2. On the socket and on the processor, identify the pin 1 corner. You can identify the
pin 1 corner by noting that in the rectangular matrix of holes on the socket, one
hole is absent on two corners. The front corner with the absent hole is the pin-1
corner. On the processor, the pin-1 corner is beveled. (see the illustration below).
3. Push the socket locking lever away from the socket to unhook it. Swing the lever
into the upright position.
4. Insert the processor into the socket taking care that you have matched the pin 1
corners. No force is required, and the processor should seat smoothly into the
socket.

5. Swing the locking lever down and hook it under the latch on the side of the socket
to lock it in place.
6. Locate the power connector for the processor cooling fan CPU FAN1. If your
processor has a cooling fan installed, connect the cable from the cooling fan to
CPU FAN1.
Install the Memory Modules
For this mainboard, you must use 168-pin 3.3V non-buffered Dual In-line Memory
Modules (DIMMs). The memory chips can be EDO RAM or SDRAM. The memory
bus runs at 66 MHz so you need not use PC-100 memory modules. You can use
memory modules that have a capacity of 16 MB up to 128 MB. Total installed
memory must not exceed 256 MB.
You can use memory modules which have memory chips on just one side (singlesided) or memory chips on both sides (double-sided). If you install a double-sided
module in either DIMM 2 or 3, you must leave the other socket empty. DIMM1 is
independent and does not have this limitation.
