The MS-6315 (V3.0) Micro A TX mainboard is a high-performance
computer mainboard based on Intel® 815E/EP chipset. The MS-6315 is
optimized to support the Intel® Pentium® III (FC-PGA) processor for highend business/personal desktop markets.
The Intel® 815E (Option G) chipset integrates a Display Cache
SDRAM controller that supports a 32-bit 133MHz SDRAM array for enhanced integrated 3D graphics performance. It is a highly-flexible chipset
which is designed to extend the basic graphics/multimedia PC platform up to
the mainstream performance desktop platform.
The Intel® 815E/EP chipset implements the host address, control, and
data bus interfaces within a single device. It takes advantage of the
pipelined addressing capability of the processor to improve the overall
system performance. In addition, the chipset also integrates a system
memory controller that supports a 64-bit 100/133 MHz SDRAM array.
The Intel® 82801BA (ICH2) chipset is a highly integrated
multifunctional I/O Controller Hub that provides the interface to the PCI Bus
and integrates many of the functions needed in today’s PC platforms. It
communicates with the host controller over a dedicated hub interface and
provides added flexibility in designing cost-effective system solutions.

The mainboard operates with Intel® CeleronTM/Pentium® III (FC-PGA) or
VIA® Cyrix® III processor. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket
370 for easy CPU installation. The CPU should always have a Heat Sink and
a cooling fan attached to prevent overheating.
••
• CPU Installation Procedures
••
1. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Then, raise
the lever up to a 90-degree
angle.
2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket
and look for the white dot or
cut edge in the CPU. Match
Pin 1 with the white dot/cut
edge. Then, insert the CPU.
It should insert easily.
3. Hold the CPU firmly, and
then press the lever down to
complete the installation.

These connectors support system cooling fan with + 12V. It supports
three pin head connector. When connecting the wire to the connector,
always take note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the +12V, the black wire is Ground and should be connected to
GND. If your mainboard has System Hardware Monitor chipset onboard, you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take
advantage of this function.

The mainboard provides a front Universal Serial Bus connector. This is an
optional USB connector for Front Panel.
The jumper is used to enable or disable the onboard software audio codec.
In Auto Mode, the system will use the onboard codec as the PRIMARY
audio adapter and the installed CNR card as the SECONDARY one. But
some types of CNR cards cannot be set to the secondary one, then the
onboard audio codec must be disabled to resolve the system conflict.
This jumper must be always short in order to make the audio subsystem
function; otherwise, the audio subsystem doesn’t work and sound cannot
be heard.

The Communication Network Riser specification is an open industrystandard specification that defines a hardware scalable Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) mainboard riser board and interface, which supports
audio, modem and LAN cards. However, if the optional LAN function is
integrated on the board, CNR slot supports audio and modem only.
The IRQ, abbreviation of interrupt request line and pronounced I-R-Q, are
hardware lines over which devices can send interrupt signals to the
microprocessor. The “AGP/PCI/USB/LAN/AC97” IRQ pins are typically connected to the PCI bus INTA#-INTD# pins as follows:

SDRAM CAS Latency Time
Controls the time delay (in clock cycles) before SDRAM starts a read
command after receiving it. The settings are 2, 3 and Auto (default).
SDRAM Cycle Time Tras/Trc
Selects the number of SCLKs for an access cycle. The settings are 5/7
and 7/9. The default setting is 7/9.
SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay
This field lets you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS
strobe signals, used when DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. 2
gives faster performance and 3 gives more stable performance. This field
applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.
The settings are 2 and 3.
SDRAM RAS Precharge Time
If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be incomplete and the
DRAM may fail to retain data. 2 gives faster performance; and 3 gives more
stable performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is
installed in the system. The settings are 2 and 3.
System BIOS Cacheable

space below 16MB. When this area is reserved, it cannot be cached. The
settings are Enabled and Disabled.
CPU Latency Timer
When set to Enabled, a deferrable CPU cycle will only be deferred
after it has been in a Snoop Stall for 31clocks and another ADS# has arrived.
During Disabled, a deferrable CPU cycle will be deferred immediately after
the GMCH receives another ADS#.
Delayed Transaction
The chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to support
delayed transactions cycles. Select Enabled to enable delayed transaction
and compliance with PCI specification version 2.1. The settings are Enabled
and Disabled.
AGP Graphics Aperture Size
This option determines the effective size of the graphics aperture
used in the particular PAC configuration. The AGP aperture is memorymapped, while graphics data structure can reside in a graphics aperture. The
aperture range should be programmed as not cacheable in the processor
cache, accesses with the aperture range are forwarded to the main memory,
then PAC will translate the original issued address via a translation table that
is maintained on the main memory. The option allows the selection of an
aperture size of 32MB and 64MB.
System Memory Frequency
Selects the system memory frequency. The settings are 100 MHz, 133

PCI PIRQ[A-D] #
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal
Computer Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at
speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when communicating with its
own special components. This section covers some very technical items
and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users should make
any changes to the default settings.

Resource Controlled By
The A ward Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically
configure all of the boot and Plug and Play compatible devices. However,
this capability means absolutely nothing unless you are using a Plug and
Play operating system such as Windows95/98. If you set this field to
“manual,” choose specific resources by going into each of the sub menu
that follows this field (a sub menu is preceded by a “Ø”). The settings are
Auto(ESCD) and Manual.
IRQ Resources
When resources are controlled manually, assign each system interrupt a type, depending on the type of device using the interrupt. The
settings are PCI/ISA PnP and Legacy ISA.
DMA Resources
This sub-menu can let you assign each DMA channel a type,
depending on the type of device using the DMA channel. The settings are
PCI/ISA PnP and Legacy ISA.
PCI/VGA Palette Snoop
Leave this field at Disabled. The settings are Enabled and Disabled.
When Enabled, multiple VGA devices operating on different buses (such as
PCI bus and ISA bus) can handle data from CPU on each set of palette
registers on every video device. Bit 5 of the command register in the PCI
device configuration space is the VGA Palette Snoop bit (0 is disabled).
The setting must be set to Enabled if any ISA adapter card installed in the
system requires VGA palette snooping.
INT Pin 1/2/3/4 Assignment
The items let you assign an IRQ line to INT Pin#1~4 separately.
Selecting Auto allows BIOS to determine the best IRQ for each INT Pin.
