Introducing the Mainboard
IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn
Thank you for choosing the MS9077C mainboard. This mainboard is an ATX
mainboard that uses a 4-layer printed circuit board and mea sures 304.8 mm x
190 mm. The mainboard is design to support the mPGA Socket 478 Intel P4
Willamette/Northwood processors and the new Intel 845PE chipset.
With system bus speeds up to 400/533MHz, this mainboard represents the
most powerful desktop available today.
The mainboard incorporates the 845PE (GMCH) and 82801DB (ICH4) chi psets which combines advanced full set of I/O ports, such as dual channel IDE
interfaces, a floppy controller, a high-speed serial port, an EPP/ECP capable
bi-directional parallel port connector, four USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector, a PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors. One AGP slot, five PCI local bus
slots and one communication and networking riser (CNR) slot provide expandability for add-on peripheral cards.
In addition to its excellent performance and stability, the mainboard is highly
suited for Internet and rich multimedia applications, including streaming video
download and are ideal for workstations and high-end home use.

This mainboard uses Award BIOS that enables users to co nfigure many system features including the following:
• Power management
• Wake-up alarms
• CPU parameters and memory timing
• CPU and memory timing
The firmware can also be used to set parameters for different
processor clock speeds.

There are many types of computer cases on the market. The mainboard co mplies 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 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 templates 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 an ATX form factor of 304.8 mm x 190 mm. Choose a
case that accommodates this form factor.

Installing the Mainboard
SSaaffeettyy PPrreeccaauuttiioonnss
Follow these safet y 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 circuit boards.

Refer to the following illustration and instructions for installing the mainboard
in a case:
This illustration shows an example of a mainboard being
installed in a tower-type case:
Note: Do not overtighten
the screws as this
can stress the mai nboard.
Most system cases have
mounting brackets installed in
the case, which correspond to
the holes in the mainboard.
Place the mainboard over the
mounting brackets and secure
the mainboard onto the mounting brackets with screws.
Ensure that your case has an I/O template that supports the I/O ports and
expansion slots on your mainboard.

This section explains how to set jumpers for correct configuration of the mainboard.
screws where appropriate.
1. Place the mainboard
over the mounting brackets.
Setting Jumpers
Use the mainboard jumpers to set system configuration options. Jumpers with
more than one pin are numbered. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the
jumper caps are placed on the correct pins.
The illustrations below show 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 just
one pin, the jumper is OPEN.

This illustration shows a 3-pin
jumper. Pins 1 and 2 are SHORT.
