Introduction
This mainboard has a Socket-478 processor socket for Intel
Pentium 4 type of processors supporting front side bus (FSB)
speeds up to 400 MHz.
This mainboard integrates the SiS650GL Northbridge along with
SiS961/962 Southbridge chipsets that support built-in AC97
Codec , 2 DDR + 2 SDR modules up to 2GB system memory, and
provides Ultra DMA 66/100/133 function. These chipsets’
function is detailed as the Chipset description in next section. This
mainboard integrates a 256-bit 3D/2D Graphics Engine, Video
Accelerator and Advanced Hardware Acceleration
MPEGI/MPEGII Video Decoder for the Intel Pentium 4 series
based PC systems. It has the external AGP slot with AGP 4X
266MHz capability and the built-in 10BaseT/100BaseTX
Network Interface. In addition, this mainboard has a full set of
I/O ports including two PS/2 ports for mouse and keyboard, two
serial ports, one parallel port, one MIDI/game port and six USB
ports -- two back-panel ports, onboard USB headers providing four
extra ports (they will support USB 2.0 if SiS962 SB installed on
the mainboard), and IEEE 1394 ports (if SiS 962 SB installed). By
means of the Extended USB Module connected to the mainboard,
you can make four extra USB ports.
This mainboard is ATX size and has power connectors for an ATX
power supply and measures 305 x 244mm.

1: Introduction
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.
