Static Electricity Precautions
Components on this mainboard can be damaged by static
electricity. Take the following precautions when unpacking the
mainboard and installing it in a system.
1. Keep the mainboard and other components in their original
static-proof packaging until you are ready to install them.
2. During installation, wear a grounded wrist strap if possible. If
you don’t have a wrist strap, discharge static electricity by
touching the bare metal of the system chassis.
3. Handle the mainboard carefully by the edges. Avoid touching
the components unless it is absolutely necessary. During
installation put the mainboard on top of the static-protection
packaging it came in with the component side facing up.
Pre-Installation Inspection
1. Inspect the mainboard for damage to the components and
connectors on the board.
2. If you suspect that the mainboard has been damaged, do not
connect power to the system. Contact your mainboard vendor
and report the damage.

2: Mainboard Installation
Install A CPU
This mainboard has a Socket-370 which supports PPGA/FCPGA
Celeron and FCPGA Pentium III processors.
Do not try to install a Socket 7 processor in the Socket-370. A
Socket 7 processor such as the Pentium-MMX, or the AMD K5/K6
does not fit in the Socket 370.
The following list notes the processors that are currently supported
by this mainboard.
FCPGA Pentium III: 500~933MHz, FSB: 100MHz, 133MHz
PPGA/FCPGA Celeron: 300~600MHz, FSB: 66 MHz
Installing a Socket-370 Processor
A processor installs into the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket-370
on the mainboard.
1. Locate the Socket-370 and FAN1. Pull the locking lever out
slightly from the socket and raise it to the upright position.
FAN1
Pin-1 Corner
Socket-370
2. On the processor, identify the Pin-1 corner by its beveled edge.
3. On the Socket-370, identify the Pin-1 corner. The Pin-1 corner
is at the top of the locking lever when it is locked.
4. Match the Pin-1 corners and insert the processor into the
socket. No force is required and the processor should drop into
place freely.
5. Swing the locking lever down and hook it under the catch on
the side of the socket. This secures the CPU in the socket.
6. All processors should be installed with a combination
heatsink/cooling fan, connect the cable from the fan to the
CPU fan power connector FAN1.

MS7167 Mainboard User’s Manual
Install Memory
The mainboard has three DIMM sockets for system memory
modules. You must install at least one memory module in order to
use the mainboard.
DIMM1
DIMM2
DIMM3
For this mainboard, you must use 168-pin, 3.3V unbuffered PC100
or PC133 SDRAM memory modules. You can install any size
memory module from 32 MB to 512MB, so the maximum memory
size is 3 x 512MB = 1.5GB.
The edge connectors on the memory modules have cut outs, which
coincide with spacers in the DIMM sockets so that memory
modules can only be installed in the correct orientation.
To install a module, push the retaining latches at either end of the
socket outwards. Position the memory module correctly and insert
it into the DIMM socket. Press the module down into the socket so
that the retaining latches rotate up and secure the module in place
by fitting into notches on the edge of the module.

Setting Jumper Switches
Jumpers are sets of pins which can be connected together with
jumper caps. The jumper caps change the way the mainboard
operates by changing the electronic circuits on the mainboard. If a
jumper cap connects two pins, we say the pins are SHORT. If a
jumper cap is removed from two pins, the pins are OPEN.

Jumper J8: Clear CMOS Memory
Use this jumper to clear the contents of the CMOS memory. You
may need to clear the CMOS memory if the settings in the Setup
Utility are incorrect and prevent your mainboard from operating.
To clear the CMOS memory, disconnect all the power cables from
the mainboard and then move the jumper cap into the CLEAR
setting for a few seconds.

Install the Mainboard
Install the mainboard in a system chassis (case). The board is an
ATX size mainboard with a twin-tier of I/O ports. Ensure that your
case has an I/O cover plate that matches the ports on this
mainboard.
Install the mainboard in a case. Follow the instructions provided by
the case manufacturer using the hardware and internal mounting
points on the chassis.
PWR1
FAN2
CONN1
Connect the power connector from the power supply to the PWR1
connector on the mainboard.
If there is a cooling fan installed in the system chassis, connect the
cable from the cooling fan to the FAN2 fan power connector on the
mainboard.
Connect the case switches and indicator LEDs to the CONN1
switch and LED connector header. See the illustration below for a

FLOPPY
Floppy Disk Drive
The mainboard ships with a floppy disk drive cable that can
support one or two drives. Drives can be 3.5” or 5.25” wide, with
capacities of 360K, 720K, 1.2MB, 1.44MB, or 2.88MB.
Install your drives and connect power from the system power
supply. Use the cable provided to connect the drives to the floppy
disk drive header FLOPPY.
IDE Devices
IDE devices include hard disk drives, high-density diskette drives,
and CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives, among others.
The mainboard ships with an IDE cable that can support one or two
IDE devices. If you connect two devices to a single cable, you
must configure one of the drives as Master and one of the drives as
Slave. The documentation of the IDE device will tell you how to
configure the device as a Master or Slave device. The Master
device connects to the end of the cable.
Install the device(s) and connect power from the system power
supply. Use the cable provided to connect the device(s) to the
Primary IDE channel connector IDE1 on the mainboard.
If you want to install more IDE devices, you can purchase a second
IDE cable and connect one or two devices to the Secondary IDE
11
MS7167 Mainboard User’s Manual
channel connector IDE2 on the mainboard. If you have two
devices on the cable, one must be Master and one must be Slave.
Internal Sound Connections
If you have installed a CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive, you
can connect the drive audio cable to the onboard sound system.
On the mainboard, locate the two 4-pin connectors CD1 and CD2.
There are two kinds of connector because different brands of CDROM drive have different kinds of audio cable connectors.
Connect the cable to the appropriate connector.

AGP1
Follow the steps below to install a PCI/AMR/AGP/ISA expansion
card.
1. Locate the AGP, AMR, PCI or ISA slots on the mainboard.
2. Remove the slot cover for this slot from the system chassis.
3. Insert the expansion card edge connector into the slot and press
it firmly down into it so that it is fully inserted.
4. Secure the expansion card bracket to the system chassis using
the screw that held the slot cover in place.
AMR Slot
The AMR (Audio Modem Riser) slot is an industry standard slot
that allows for the installation of a special audio/modem riser card.
Different territories have different regulations regarding the
specifications of a modem card. You can purchase an AMR card
that is approved in your area and install it directly into the AMR
slot.
