Hardware Setup
Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports Intel® Pentium® 4 processors 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 have 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.
Overclocking
This motherboard is designed to support overclocking. However,
please make sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, while doing overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond
product specifications is not recommended. We do not guarantee
the damages or risks caused by inadequate operation or beyond product specifications.

CPU Installation Procedures for Socket 478
1. Please turn off the power and
unplug the power cord before
installing the CPU.
Open Lever
2. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Make sure to
raise the lever up to a 90-degree 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:
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.
2. Position the heatsink onto the reten-
tion mechanism.
4. Press the two levers down to fasten
the fan. Each lever can be pressed
down in only ONE direction.

Memory
For 865PE Neo2-V: DIMM1~3,
max. memory 3GB.
For 848P Neo-V: DIMM1~2,
max. memory 2GB.
The mainboard provides 2/3 slots for 184-pin, 2.5V DDR DIMM modules and
supports the memory size up to 2 GB/3GB without ECC. You can install DDR266/
DDR333/DDR400 DDR SDRAM modules on the DDR DIMM slots. To operate properly,
at least one DIMM module must be installed.
For the updated supporting memory modules, please visit http://www.msi.
com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_trp_list.php.
Introduction to DDR SDRAM
DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is similar to conventional SDRAM, but doubles
the rate by transferring data twice per cycle. It uses 2.5 volts as opposed to 3.3 volts
used in SDR SDRAM, and requires 184-pin DIMM modules rather than 168-pin DIMM
modules used by SDR SDRAM. High memory bandwidth makes DDR an ideal solution
for high performance PC, workstations and servers.
DDR Population Rules
Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. Each DIMM slot supports up to a
maximum size of 1GB. Users can install either single- or double-sided modules to
meet their own needs.
For 848PV, it supports only single-channel DDR. For 865PEV, it supports both
single-channel & dual-channel DDR.

MS-6788 ATX Mainboard
Dual-channel DDR Introduction
Please note that each DIMM can work respectively for single-channel
DDR, but there are some rules while using dual-channel DDR (Please refer to
the suggested DDR population table below). Inserting your memory modules in the
memory slot with different color will work as dual-channel DDR. Users may install
memory modules of different type and density on different-channel DDR DIMMs.
However, the same type and density memory modules are necessary while
using dual-channel DDR, or unstability may happen.
Please refer to the following table for detailed dual-channel DDR only for
865PE Neo2-V. Other combination not listed below will function as single-channel
DDR.
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.

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

combination listed in the table above.
