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

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.

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.

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.

1. Locate the DIMM sockets on the mainboard.

CPU FAN1

DIMM Sockets

2. The DIMM sockets are keyed with notches and the DIMMs are keyed with cut-

outs so that they can only be installed correctly. Check that the cut-outs on the DIMM module edge connector matches the notches in the DIMM socket.

3. Push the latches on each side of the DIMM socket down.

4. Install the DIMM module into the socket and press it carefully but firmly down so

that it seats correctly. The latches at either side of the socket will be levered upwards and latch on the edges of the DIMM when it is installed correctly.

Check all the Jumper Settings

Check all the mainboard jumpers to ensure that the board is configured correctly.

A Note on 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.

JP1: Clear CMOS Memory Jumper

This jumper lets you erase the system setup settings that are stored in CMOS memory. You might need to erase this data if incorrect settings are preventing your system from operating. 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.

Install the Mainboard in the System Case

Use the screws and mounting brackets supplied with your system case to install the mainboard. Follow the instructions provided by the case manufacturer.

Connect Devices, Switches and Indicators to the Mainboard

Note: You might not need to carry out every step in the following procedure. It depends on the options you are installing, and the features that are supported by your system case.

Note: Ribbon cable connectors are usually keyed so that they can only be installed correctly on the device connector. If the connector is not keyed make sure that you match the pin-1 side of the cable connector with the pin-1 side of the device connector. Each connector has the pin-1 side clearly marked. The pin-1 side of each ribbon cable is always marked with a red stripe on the cable.

Part One – Internal Connections

1. Locate the floppy diskette drive connector FDD1. Use the ribbon cable to connect

one or two floppy diskettes to the mainboard.

2. Locate the Enhanced IDE connectors IDE1 (primary) and IDE2 (secondary). A

single IDE cable is provided with the mainboard. Connect the cable to IDE1. The cable has two connectors for IDE devices. If you connect two devices, you must configure one device as Master, and one device as Slave. See the documentation provided with the devices for information on this. To install more drives, use another IDE cable and connect one or two devices to IDE2.

3. Locate the power connector ATX1. Connect the power cable from the power

supply unit to ATX1. The connector is keyed so that it can only be installed correctly.

4. If your system case has a built-in cooling fan, you can supply power to the fan

from the case fan power connector CASE FAN1. Connect the power cable from the fan to CASE FAN1.

5. If you want to install an optional Serial Infrared Port, connect the cable from the

optional IR port to the SIR1 connector on the mainboard.

Note: If you install an optional infrared port, it requires resources that are normally used by the external serial port COM2, so you cannot use the infrared port and COM2 at the same time. You can use the setup utility to activate the infrared port or the COM2 serial port. See Chapter 3 for more information.

About the Setup Utility

This chapter explains how to use and modify the BIOS setup utility that is stored on the mainboard. The setup utility stores information about the mainboard components, and the configuration of other devices that are connected to it. The system uses this information to test and initialize components when it is started up, and to make sure everything runs properly when the system is operating.

The setup utility is installed with a set of default values. The default values are designed to ensure that the system will operate adequately. You will probably have to make changes to the setup utility whenever you add new components to your system such as new disk drives. You may be able to generate increased performance by changing some of the timing values in the setup, but this can be limited by the kind of hardware you are using, for example the rating of your memory chips. In certain circumstances, the system may generate an error message which asks you to make changes to the setup utility. This happens when the system finds an error during the POST (power on self test) that it carries out at start up.

Starting the Setup Utility

You can only start the setup utility shortly after the computer has been turned on. A prompt appears on the computer display which says “Press DEL to run Setup ”. When you see this prompt, press the Delete key, and the system will start the setup utility and display the main menu of the utility.

Using the Setup Utility

When you press the Delete key to start setup, the main menu of the utility appears.

The main menu of the setup utility shows a list of the options that are available in the utility. A highlight shows which option is currently selected. You can use the cursor arrow keys to move the highlight to other options. When an option is highlighted, you can execute the option by pressing the Enter key.

Some options lead to dialog boxes which ask you verify that that you wish to execute that option. You usually answer these dialogs by typing Y for yes and N for no.

Some options lead to dialog boxes which ask for more information. Setting the User Password or Supervisor Password have this kind of dialog box.

Some options lead to tables of items. These items usually have a value on the right side. The value of the first item is highlighted, and you can use the cursor arrow keys to select any of the other values in the table of items. When an item is highlighted, you can change the value by pressing the PageUp or PageDown keys, or the Plus or Minus keys. The PageUp and Plus keys cycle forward through the available values, the PageDown and Minus keys cycle backwards through the values.

When you are in the main menu, you can exit the utility by pressing the Escape key. You can save the current selections and exit the utility by pressing the F10 key. You can change the color scheme of the utility by pressing the F2 key while holding down the Shift key.

When you are in one of the options that displays a dialog box, you can return to the main menu by pressing the Escape key.

When you are in one of the options that displays a table of items, you can return to the main menu by pressing the Escape key. For some items, you can display a help message by pressing the F1 key. You can change the color scheme of the utility by pressing the F2 key while holding down the Shift key. You can press F5 to discard any changes you have made and return all items to the value that they held when the setup utility was started. You can press F6 to load the displayed items with a standard list of default values. You can press F7 to load the displayed items with a high- performance list of default values.

Standard CMOS Setup Option

This option displays a table of items which defines basic information about your system.

Date and Time

The Date and Time items show the current date and time held by your computer. If you are running a Windows operating system, these items will automatically be updated whenever

you make changes to the Windows Date and Time Properties utility.

Hard Disks Defaults: None

These items show the characteristics of any hard disk drives on the four available IDE channels. (Note that SCSI hard disk drives do not appear here.) You can automatically install most modern hard disks using the IDE HDD Auto Detect Option from the main menu. However, if you find that a drive cannot be automatically detected, you can use these items to select USER, and then manually enter the characteristics of the drive. The documentation provided with your drive provides the data you need to fill in the values for CYLS (cylinders), HEAD (read/write heads), and so on.

The documentation provided with the drive may not tell you what value to use under the MODE heading. If the drive is smaller than 528 MB, set MODE to Normal. If the drive is larger than 528 MB and it supports Logical Block Addressing, set MODE to LBA. Very few high-capacity drives do not support Logical Block Addressing. If you have such a drive, you might be able to configure it by setting the MODE to Large. If you’re not sure which MODE setting is required by your drive, set MODE to Auto and let the setup utility try to determine the mode automatically.

Drive A and Drive B Default: 1.44M, 3.5 in., None

These items define the characteristics of any diskette drive attached to the system. You can connect one or two diskette drives.

Floppy 3 Mode Support Default: Disabled

Floppy 3 mode refers to a 3.5 ” diskette with a capacity of 1.2 MB. Floppy 3 mode is sometimes used in Japan.

Video Default: EGA/VGA

This item defines the video mode of the system. This mainboard has a built-in VGA graphics system so you must leave this item at the default value.

Halt On Default: All Errors

This item defines the operation of the system POST (Power On Self Test) routine. You can use this item to select which kind of errors in the POST are sufficient to halt the system.

BIOS Feature Setup Option
