MSI Special Features
Core Center
The Core Center is a new utility you can find in the CD-ROM disk. The
utility is just like your PC doctor that can detect, view and adjust the PC
hardware and system status during real time operation. In the left side it shows
the current system status, including the Vcore, 3.3V, +5V and 12V. In the right
side it shows the current PC hardware status such as the CPU & system
temperatures and all fans speeds.
When you click the red triangles in the left and right sides, two submenus will open for users to overclock, overspec or to adjust the thresholds of
system to send out the warning messages. If you click the Core Center button
on the top, a screen pops up for you to choose the “Auto mode” or “User
mode” of CPU fan.
1-5
MS-9130 Workstation Mainboard
Left-side: Current system status
In the left sub-menu, you can configure the settings of FSB, Vcore,
Memory Voltage and AGP Voltage by clicking the radio button in front of each
item and make it available (the radio button will be lit as yellow when selected),
use the “+” and “-” buttons to adjust, then click “ok” to apply the changes.
Then you can click Save to save the desired FSB you just configured.
Also you may click Auto to start testing the maximal CPU overclocking
value, The CPU FSB will automatically increase the testing value until the PC
reboots. Or you may click Default to restore the default values.
Right-side: PC hardware status during real time operation
In the right sub-menu, here you can configure the PC hardware status
such as CPU & system temperatures and fan speeds. You may use the scroll
bars to adjust each item, then click “ok” to apply the changes. The values you
set for the temperatures are the maximum thresholds for the system for warnings,
and the value for fan speeds are the minimum thresholds.
T op-side: User mode/Auto mode
Here you may adjust the CPU fan speed. If you choose User mode, you
may adjust the CPU fan speed in 8 different modes, from Stop to Full speed.

Hardware Setup
This chapter provides you with the information about hardware setup procedures. While doing the installation, be careful
in holding the components and follow the installation
procedures. For some components, if you install in the wrong
orientation, the components will not work properly.
Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer
components. Static electricity may damage the components.

Hardware Setup
Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports Single/Dual AMD® Opteron DP™ processor
(s). The mainboard uses two CPU sockets called Socket 940 for easy CPU
installation. Y ou can install SINGLE or DUAL CPUs on the mainboard to meet
your own needs. Keep the following points in mind before installing CPU(s):
1. If SINGLE CPU is intended, always install the CPU on the CPU1
socket.
CPU1 & CPU2
2. T o install DUAL CPUs on the board, you must use the same type of
CPUs running at the same frequency.
2-3
MS-9130 Workstation Mainboard
CPU Installation Procedures for Socket 940
1. Make sure that the computer
is turned off, and the power
cord disconnected before installing the CPU.
2. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket, and raise it up
to a 90-degree angle.
3. Locate the cut edge of the
CPU. When the CPU is installed into the socket, this cut
edge should be aligned with
the corner marking an arrow on
the Socket 940.
Please note that the CPU can
only fit in a correct orientation,
DO NOT use force to install
the CPU into the socket.
4. Place the CPU onto the socket
and press it down firmly into
the socket. The pins of the
CPU should be embedded into
the socket completely.

Installing the CPU heatsink/cooler
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher
performance, thermal management becomes increasingly important. T o dissipate heat, you need to attach the CPU heatsink/cooler on top of the CPU.
Follow the instructions below to install the heatsink/cooler:
1. Locate the CPU and its retention mod-
ules on the motherboard.
retention modules
3. Hook one end of the clip into the hole
of the retention module, then push
down the handle to hook the other
end to the retention module.
2. Position the heatsink/cooler onto the
retention modules. Connect the wires
to the fan powers (CFAN1/CFAN2),
then press down the fan until its four
clips get wedged in the holes of the
retention modules.
fan power
4. Repeat step 3 on the other clip. Please
note the orientation of the handle of
heatsink/cooler for CFAN2 should be
the same as shown below to prevent
the intervention with AGP card.

Memory
The mainboard provides four slots for 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM
(Double In-Line Memory Module) modules and supports up to 4GB memory
size. Y ou can install PC2700/DDR333, PC2100/DDR266, or PC1600/DDR200
modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DDR 1~4).
DDR DIMM Slots
(DDR1~4)
Installing DDR Modules
1. The DDR DIMM has only one
notch on the center of module. The
module will only fit in the right
orientation.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module
vertically into the DIMM slot. Then
push it in until the golden finger
on the memory module is deeply
inserted in the socket.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the
DIMM slot will automatically
close.
