PC Alert™ 4
The PC AlertTM 4 is a utility you can find in the CD-ROM disk. The
utility is just like your PC doctor that can detect the following PC hardware
status during real time operation:
Ø monitor CPU & system temperatures
Ø monitor fan speeds
Ø monitor system voltages
If one of the items above is abnormal, the program main screen will be
immediately shown on the screen, with the abnormal item highlighted in red.
This will continue to be shown until the condition returns to the normal status.
Users can use the Adjusting Keys to change the minimum and maximum threshold of each item for the system to send out a warning message.
Click Temperature to select the temperature modes of either Fahrenheit (oF)
or Celsius (oC). The PC Alert4 icon on the Status Area will show the current
CPU temperature.

MSI Reminds You...
The new feature COOLER XP will work only if your mainboard
supports AMD Athlon XP CPU.
Items shown on PC Alert 4 vary depending on your system’s status.
To better protect the CPU from overheating, a new feature, COOLER
XP, has been added to decrease the temperature of AMD Athlon XP CPU.
To do so, simply click COOLER XP and the screen will show the Cute skin
(as shown below) with information about the CPU and chipset. Right-click
the mouse to select the skin you want to switch to.

CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure
If CPU Clock = 100MHz
Core/Bus ratio = 17
then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
= 100MHz x 17
= 1.7 GHz
The mainboard supports Intel® Pentium® 4 Williamette, Celeron,
Northwood processor in the 478 pin package. The mainboard uses a CPU
socket called PGA478 for easy CPU installation. When you are installing the
CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on
the top to prevent overheating. If you do not find the heat sink and cooling
fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the
computer.
MSI Reminds You...
Overheating
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect
the CPU from overheating.
Replacing the CPU
While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power supply or unplug the power supply’s power cord from grounded
outlet first to ensure the safety of CPU.

CPU Installation Procedures for Socket 478
1. Please turn off the power and
unplug the power cord before
installing the CPU.
2. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Make sure
to raise the lever up to a 90degree angle.
3. Look for the gold arrow. The
gold arrow should point towards the lever pivot. The
CPU can only fit in the correct orientation.
4. If the CPU is correctly
installed, the pins should be
completely embedded into the
socket and can not be seen.
Please note that any violation
of the correct installation
procedures may cause
permanent damages to your
mainboard.
5. Press the CPU down firmly
into the socket and close the
lever. As the CPU is likely to
move while the lever is being
closed, always close the lever
with your fingers pressing
tightly on top of the CPU to
make sure the CPU is properly and completely embedded into the socket.

Installing the CPU Fan
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance,
thermal management becomes increasingly important. To dissipate heat, you
need to attach the CPU cooling fan and heatsink on top of the CPU. Follow
the instructions below to install the Heatsink/Fan:
2. Position the heatsink onto the retention mechanism.
1. Locate the CPU and its retention
mechanism on the motherboard.
3. Mount the fan on top of the heatsink.
Press down the fan until its four clips
get wedged in the holes of the retention mechanism.
4. Press the two levers down to fasten
the fan. Each lever can be pressed
down in only ONE direction.

MSI Reminds You...
Make sure that you install only one type of memory modules
(either SDR or DDR) at one time. DO NOT install both types at
the same time. For security reason, the system will automatically power off if you simultaneously install SDR & DDR
memory modules onboard.
The mainboard provides two 184-pin unbuffered PC2700/PC2100/
PC1600 DDR SDRAM or two 168-pin unbuffered PC100/133 SDRAM and
supports the memory size up to 2GB. To operate properly, at least one DIMM
module must be installed.
DDR DIMM Slots
(DDR 1~2)

MS-6769 Micro ATX Mainboard
DDR Module Combination
Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. Memory modules can be
installed on the slots in any order. You can install either single- or doublesided modules to meet your own needs.
Memory modules can be installed in any combination as follows:
Installing DDR Modules
1. The DDR DIMM has only one notch on the center of module. The mod-
ule 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.

You can barely see the golden finger if the module is properly
inserted in the socket.
