Congratulations on purchasing the MS 9007C mainboard. The
MS9007C mainboard is an ATX mainboard that uses a 4-layer
printed circuit board a nd measures 305 mm x 244 m m. The
mainboard features a Socket 423 that accommodates Intel
Pentium 4 processors supporting system bus (FSB) speeds
up to 400 MHz and data bus bandwidths up to 3.2 GB/s
The MS9007C incorporates the Intel i82845 (MCH) and the
Intel 82801BA (ICH2) chipsets, which supports 3.3V DIMM
DRAM, 2X/4X AGP (1.5V only), and the AC 97 codec.

The MS9007C mainboard uses a PGA Socket
423 that has the following features:
• Accommodates Intel Pentium 4 CPUs
• Supports a system bus of 400 MHz
• Supports 3.2 GB/s data bus bandwidth
Intel’s innovative i82845 (MCH) and 82801BA
(ICH2) chipsets are based on an innovative and
scalable architecture with proven reliability and
performance. A few of the advanced features of
the chipsets are:
• Host interface controller supports 400 MHz
frontside (system) bus frequency
• Supports up to 3 GB of DRAM
• Supports a maximum memory bandwidth of 1
GB/s
• AGP controller is AGP 2.0 compliant and sup-
ports 2x/4x Fast Write Protocol (1.5V only)
• PCI IDE controller supports PCI bus master-
ing, PIO modes 0~4, and UDMA 33/66/100
• Four USB 1.1 ports for serial transfer at 1.2 or
1.5 Mbit/sec.
• Integrated AC 97 audio that supports full sur-
round sound with up to six channels
Additional key features include suppo rt for an AC 97
link for audio and modem, h ardware monit oring, and
ACPI/OnNow powe r manag e ment.
The mainboard can accommodate 3.3V, unbuffered, 168 pin DIMM DRAM with a total capacity
of 3 GB.
The MS9007C include s a 4 xAGP slot t hat p rovide s
four times the b andw id th o f t he o riginal A GP speci fi cation. AGP technology provides a direct connection
between the graphics sub-system and the processor
so that the graphics do not have to compete for
processor time with other devices on the PCI bus.

There are many types of computer cas es on the market. T he
mainboard complies with the specifications for the ATX system case. Some f eatures on the mainb oard are implem ented
by cabling connectors on the mainboard to indicators and
switches on the s ystem case. Ensure that your case supports
all the features required. The mainboard can support one
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.
Most cases have a choice of I/O tem plates in the rear panel.
Make sure that the I/O template in the case matches the I/O
ports installed on the rear edge of the mainboard.
This mainboard has a ATX form factor of 305 mm x 244 mm.
Choose a case that accommodates this form factor.
This concludes Chapter 1. T he next chapter explains how to
install the mainboard.

Follow these safety precautions when installing the mainboard:
• Wear a grounding strap attached to a grounded device
to avoid damage from static electricity.
• Discharge static electricity by touching the metal case
of a safely grounded object before working on the
mainboard.
• Leave components in the static-proof bags they came
in.
• Hold all circuit boards by the edges. Do not bend cir-
cuit boards.

This section explains how to set jumpers for correct configuration of the mainboard.
s
Setting Jumpers
Use the mainboard jumpers to set system configuration options. Jumpers with m ore than one pin are num bered. When
setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are placed
on the correct pins.
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. Pins 1 and 2 are SHORT.

After you have installed the m ainboard into a case, you can
begin connecting the mainboard components.
s
1. Supply power to the mainboard using the three ATX
connectors.
• Connect the 20-pin power supply connector to
ATX1 (connection is required).
: When the system is he avily loaded, you should
Note
install, at a minimum, an ATX power supply
with a 300W capacity.
2. Connect the CPU cooling fan cable to CPUFAN1.
3. Connect the case cooling fan connector to CASFAN1.

Installing the Processor
Caution:
make sure that you DO NOT scratch the mainboard 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 or its components.
On most mainboards, there are small surface-mount resistors near the processor socket, which may be damaged if
the cooling fan is carelessly install ed.
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 that you can clearly see the mainboard and processor socket .
When installing a CPU heatsink and cooling fan

CPU Installation Procedure
The following illustration shows CPU installation components:
Follow these instructions to install the CPU:
1. Pull the CPU socket locking lever away from the socket to unhook it and raise the locking lever to the upright
position.
2. Identify the pin-1 corner on the CPU socket and the
pin-1 corner on the processor.
3. Match the pin-1 corners and insert the processor into
the socket. Do not use force.
