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.

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 & Cooler Installation

When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler at-

tached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not have the cooler, contact

your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer. Meanwhile,
do not forget to apply some silicon heat transfer compound on CPU before installing
the heat sink/cooler fan for better heat dispersion.

Follow the steps below to install the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong installation

will cause the damage of your CPU & mainboard.

1. The CPU has a land side cover on the
bottom to protect the CPU contact from
damage. Rotate it to make the pin 1
indicator (yellow triangle) in the right­bottom corner.

2. T ake out the accompanying CPU Clip
and rotate it for the same direction
as the CPU (Pin 1 indicator, the red
triangle is in the left-bottom corner).

3. Align the 3 points (the Pin 1 indicator
and the two alignment keys) of both
the CPU and the CPU Clip, and use your
4 fingers to push the CPU Clip down to
clip them (the CPU clip is up and the
CPU is down) together.

4. The land side cover now is
removed.

land side cover

MSI Reminds You...

1. Confirm if your CPU cooler is firmly installed before turning on your
system.

2. Do not touch the CPU socket pins to avoid damaging.

3. The availability of the CPU land side cover depends on your CPU
packing.

E-2-5

Hardware Setup

5. The CPU has a plastic cap on it to
protect the contact from damage.
Before you have installed the CPU,
always cover it to protect the socket
pin.

6. Remove the cap from lever hinge side
(as the arrow shows).

7. The pins of socket reveal. Then lift
up the load lever.

8. Lift the load lever up and open the
load plate.

9. Correctly align the red triangle of
CPU clip with the CPU chamfer, the
red arrow with the left-side socket
edge, and the red spot to the hook
of the socket.

10.Put the whole module onto the CPU
socket.

E-2-6

MS-6728 ATX Mainboard

11.Push down the CPU hard to install
the CPU into the socket housing
frame.

12.Visually inspect if the CPU is seated
well into the socket, then remove the
CPU Clip with 2 fingers. Then cover
the load plate onto the package.

13. Press down the load lever lightly
onto the load plate, and then se­cure the lever with the hook under
retention tab.

14. Align the holes on the mainboard with
the cooler. Push down the cooler until
its four clips get wedged into the holes
of the mainboard.

16. Turn over the mainboard to confirm

that the clip-ends are correctly
inserted.

15. Press the four hooks down to fas­ten the cooler. Then rotate the lock­ing switch (refer to the correct di­rection marked on it) to lock the
hooks.

MSI Reminds You...

1.Check the information in PC Health Status in BIOS (refer to p.3-25 for
details) for the CPU temperature.

2. Whenever CPU is not installed, always protect your CPU socket pin
with the plastic cap covered (shown in Figure 1) to avoid damaging.

3. Please note that the mating/unmating durability of the CPU is 20 cycles.
Therefore we suggest you do not plug/unplug the CPU too often.

Memory

DDR DIMM Slots

(DIMM 1~4, from left to right)
Channel A: DIMM1 & DIMM2 (green)
Channel B: DIMM3 & DIMM4 (purple)

The mainboard provides 4 slots for 184-pin, 2.5V DDR DIMM with 8 memory
banks. You can install DDR266 / DDR333 / DDR400 / DDR433 / DDR466 / DDR500 /
DDR533 SDRAM modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DIMM 1~4). To operate properly, at
least one DIMM module must be installed. Please note that DDR433 / DDR466 /

DDR500 / DDR533 are for overclocking spec.

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. Please note that the DDR SDRAM does not
support ECC (error correcting code) and registered DIMM.

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. 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 on p.2-8). 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 instability may happen.

E-2-8

MS-6728 ATX Mainboard

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.

PCI Interrupt Request Routing

The IRQ, acronym of interrupt request line and pronounced I-R-Q, are hard­ware lines over which devices can send interrupt signals to the microprocessor. The
PCI IRQ pins are typically connected to the PCI bus INT A# ~ INT D# pins as follows:

Slots

AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) Slot

The AGP slot allows you to insert the AGP graphics card. AGP is an interface
specification designed for the throughput demands of 3D graphics. It introduces a
66MHz, 32-bit channel for the graphics controller to directly access main memory.
The slot supports 8x/4x AGP card.

PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Slots

The PCI slots allow you to insert the expansion cards to meet your needs.
When adding or removing expansion cards, make sure that you unplug the power
supply first. Meanwhile, read the documentation for the expansion card to make any
necessary hardware or software settings for the expansion card, such as jumpers,
switches or BIOS configuration.

The mainboard provides one AGP slot and five 32-bit PCI bus slots.

rate among CPU, north bridge chip and memory, and also in procuring better memory
performance and bandwidth up to 10%. Selecting [Fast] will enable MAT. Please be
noted that not every memory is compatible with MAT. If the system fail to reboot for
four times, the BIOS will be restored to the Default value ([Normal]). Setting options:
[Normal], [Fast], [Turbo (MAT)], [Ultra Turbo (MAT)].

Use this menu to specify your settings for frequency/voltage control.

Frequency/Voltage Control

MSI Reminds You...

1. Even though MAT is easy to use, it doesn't mean there's no risk at
all. We recommend you to check if your memory is able to bear
MAT setting or not before deciding to always use it. If your system
will be unstable or reboot incidentally after switching to [Fast],
please switch back to [Normal]. Moreover, if you want to conduct
FSB overclocking, you should set MAT as [Normal].

2. Meanwhile, for security reason, there are two functions to protect
BIOS and protect user’s system from crashing:
(a) There is a safe hotkey "Ins" in BIOS. If the overclocking or/and
MAT fails to run, you can press "Ins" key while rebooting system
to restore to the BIOS Defaults.
(b) If your system reboot for four times continually, the BIOS will
be restored to the Defaults (Normal), too.

D.O.T. Range

(D.O.T) Dynamic Overclocking Technology is the automatic overclocking function,
included in the MSITM’s newly developed CoreCell

TM

Technology. It is designed to
detect the load balance of CPU while running programs, and to adjust the best CPU
frequency automatically. When the motherboard detects CPU is running programs, it
will speed up CPU automatically to make the program run smoothly and faster. When
the CPU is temporarily suspending or staying in the low load balance, it will restore
the default settings instead. Usually the Dynamic Overclocking Technology will be
powered only when users' PC need to run huge amount of data like 3D games or the
video process, and the CPU frequency need to be boosted up to enhance the overall
performance. Setting options:

[Disabled] Disable Dynamic Overclocking.
[Private] 1st level of overclocking.
[Sergeant] 2nd level of overclocking.
[Captain] 3rd level of overclocking.
[Colonel] 4th level of overclocking.
[General] 5th level of overclocking.
[Commander] 6th level of overclocking.

D.O.T Mode

This item allows you to decide the mode to overclock dynamically. Setting options:
[CPU Only], [CPU+AGP].

CPU Ratio Selection

This setting controls the multiplier that is used to determine the internal clock speed of
the processor relative to the external or motherboard clock speed.

DRAM Frequency (Mhz)

Use this field to configure the clock frequency of the installed DRAM. Settings are:

PSB 400: [266], [Auto], [333], [400], [433], [466], [500].
PSB 533: [266], [333], [Auto], [400], [433], [450], [466], [500], [354 (3:4)].
PSB 800: [266], [333], [400], [Auto], [433], [450], [466], [500], [532],

[501 (4:5)], [533 (3:4)].

MSI Reminds You...

Even though the Dynamic Overclocking Technology is more stable
than manual overclocking, basically, it is still risky. We suggest user
to make sure that your CPU can afford to overclocking regularly first.
If you find the PC appears to be unstable or reboot incidentally, it's
better to disable the Dynamic Overclocking or to lower the level of
overclocking options. By the way, if you need to conduct overclocking
manually, you also need to disable the Dynamic OverClocking first.

MSI Reminds You...

The value plus a ratio (CPU: DDR) with parentheses means the non­synchronous overclocking.

BIOS Setup

Spread Spectrum

When the motherboard’s clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes) of the
pulses creates EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). The Spread Spectrum function
reduces the EMI generated by modulating the pulses so that the spikes of the pulses
are reduced to flatter curves. If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at
[Disabled] for optimal system stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI,
activate the Spread Spectrum for EMI reduction. Remember to disable Spread Spec­trum if you are overclocking because even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary
boost in clock speed which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up.

Options: [Disabled], [Enabled].

Adjust CPU Bus Clock (Mhz)

This item allows you to select the CPU Bus clock frequency (in MHz) and overclock
the processor by adjusting the FSB clock to a higher frequency. Settings are:

PSB 400: 100-355MHz.
PSB 533: 133-500MHz
PSB 800: 200-500MHz

DDR Clock (Mhz)

This read-only item allows you to view the current DDR clock.

Adjust AGP/PCI Clock (Mhz)

This item allows you to select the AGP/PCI clock frequency (in MHz) by adjusting the
AGP/PCI clock to a higher frequency.

DDR Power Voltage

Adjusting the DDR voltage can increase the DDR speed. Any changes made to this
setting may cause a stability issue, so changing the DDR voltage for long-term
purpose is NOT recommended.

AGP Power Voltage

AGP voltage is adjustable in the field, allowing you to increase the performance of
your AGP display card when overclocking, but the stability may be affected.

MSI Reminds You...

The settings shown in different color in CPU Voltage (V), DDR Power

without entering any password.

When a password has been set, you will be prompted to enter it every time
you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part
of your system configuration.

Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also have AMIBIOS to
request a password each time the system is booted. This would prevent unautho­rized use of your computer. The setting to determine when the password prompt is
required is the P ASSWORD CHECK option of the ADV ANCED BIOS FEATURES menu.

are the values set by the mainboard manufacturer for the best system performance
but probably will cause a stability issue. The BIOS Setup Defaults are the default
values also set by the mainboard manufacturer for stable performance of the
mainboard.

When you select Load High Performance Defaults, a message as below appears:

Pressing ‘Enter’ loads the default BIOS values that enable the best system perfor­mance but may lead to a stability issue.

When you select Load BIOS Setup Defaults, a message as below appears:

Pressing ‘Enter’ loads the default values that are factory settings for stable system
performance.

MSI Reminds You...

The option is for power or overclocking users only. Use of high
performance defaults will tighten most timings to increase the system
performance. Therefore, a high-end system configuration is a must,
which means you need high-quality VGA adapter, RAM and so on. We

don’t recommend that users should apply the high performance
defaults in their regular systems. Otherwise, the system may be-

come unstable or even crash. If the system crashes or hangs after
enabling the feature, please CLEAR CMOS DA TA to resolve the problem.

In the Software Access Point sub-menu, you can see the communication status on
your system and choose the desired software access point mode by clicking on the
desired icon, in which the default settings are configured for your usage. The default
software access point mode is set to WLAN Card Mode. For more advanced
security settings and channels switching, click on “Setting” button to enter its sub­menu.

Terminology

Here are the introduction of WLAN / AP communication terminology.

WEP Key

In the wireless network environment, the administrator can set up password
(Network Key) to protect the network from being attacked or unauthorized
access. When building the network, you can set up 4 sets of WEP keys,
which can be 5 characters (10 hex-adecimal digital) or 13 characters (26
hex-adecimal digital) and specify one of them to use.

Ad-hoc Mode

An Ad-hoc network is a local area network or other small network, especially
one with wireless or temporary plug-in connections, in which some of the
network devices are part of the network only for the duration of a communi­cations session. Users in the network can share files, print to a shared
printer, and access the Internet with a shared modem. In this kind of network,
new devices can be quickly added; however, users can only communicate
with other wireless LAN computers that are in this wireless LAN workgroup,
and are within range.

Infrastructure Mode

The difference between Infrastructure network and Ad-hoc network is that
the former one includes an Access Point. In an Infrastructure network, the
Access Point can manage the bandwidth to maximize bandwidth utilization.
Additionally, the Access Point enables users on a wireless LAN to access an
existing wired network, allowing wireless users to take advantage of the
wired networks resources, such as Internet, email, file transfer, and printer
sharing. The scale and range of the Infrastructure networking are larger and
wider than that of the Ad-hoc networking.

Access Point Mode

Click on “Setting” button of the Access Point Mode and the following screen will
display.

IP Sharing

Click on this icon to enable/disable the IP sharing. The default of this setting is disabled.

Enabling/disabling IP sharing depends on the different situation. For example:

1. If your family and you are getting on Internet at home with multi computers, and
your ISP only provides one IP for you, you may need to enable IP Sharing
function in order to use this one IP to get on Internet with multi computers
simultaneously.

2. If you are getting on Internet in office, usually the LAN card will automatically get
the IP this computer uses. In this case you don’t have to enable this function.

SSID

Means Service Set Identifier, a unique name shared among all points in a wireless
network. It must be identical for all points in the network. Then the card will be able
to connect to an access point with the same SSID.

Channel

Specifies the operating radio frequency channel in Infrastructure mode, which
should be set to an available one (ex: with less traffic to ensure the stable and better
connection).

Associated Client List

This option is to display information of stations that are currently associated to your
wireless gateway.

Association Control

This option allows you to control which PC can connect to the wireless LAN. If you

AP in the specified WEP Key 1~4 fields to make the connection.

enable this feature, only PCs with MAC address located in Association Control List
can connect to the wireless LAN.

MAC Address

MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware address of
a device connected to a network.

Security

This option allows you to enable/disable the authentication function.

Authentication

Open: Communicates the key across the network.
Shared: Devices must have identical WEP settings to communicate.

Mémoire

Slots DDR DIMM

(DDR 1~4, de gauche à droite)

Canal A: DIMM1 & DIMM2 (vert clair)

Canal B: DIMM3 & DIMM4 (violet)

La carte mčre possčde 4 slots (184 broches) 2.5V DDR DIMMavec 8 banques
mémoires. Vous pouvez installer des modules de mémoire DDR266/333/400/433/466/
500/533 sur les slots DDR DIMM (DDR 1~4). Pour fonctionner correctement, au moins
un module DIMM doit ętre installé. Notez que DDR433 / DDR466 / DDR500 / DDR533

sont des spécifications d’overclocking.

IIntroduction ŕ la DDR SDRAM

La DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM est similaire ŕ la SDRAM conventionnelle,
mais permet par cycle un taux de transfert double. Elle utilise une alimentation 2.5
volts au contraire des 3.3 volts pour la SDR SDRAM, et utilise des modules DIMM 184
broches au lieu des modules DIMM 168 broches utilisé par la SDR SDRAM. Notez que
la DDR SDRAM ne supporte pas l’ECC (error correcting code) et les DIMM enregistré.

Combinaison entre les Modules de DDR

Il faut au moins installer un module DDR DIMM dans un des slots. Chaque
module DIMM supporte jusqu’ŕ 1Go de mémoire. L’utilisateurs peut installer des mod­ules simples ou doubles en fonction de ses besoins. Notez que chaque DIMM peut

fonctionner en simple canal DDR, mais il y a des rčgles si l’on utilise le dual
channel (reportez vous au tableau sur les combinaisons ŕ la page 2-8).

F-14

Carte Mère ATX MS-6728

Installer les modules DDR

1. Le DIMM DDR ne possčde qu’une encoche en son centre. Ainsi il n’est possible de

monter le module que dans un seul sens.

2. Insérez le module de mémoire DIMM verticalement dans le slot. Puis appuyez

dessus.

3. Le clip en plastique situé de chaque cōté du module va se fermer

automatiquement.

MSI Vous Rappelle...

La marque dorée doit ą peine źtre visible lorsque le module est

correctement installé..

MSI Vous Rappelle...

1. Męme si MAT est facile ŕ utiliser, cela n’est pas sans risque.
Nous vous recommandons de vérifier que votre mémoire pet sup­porter les spécifications du MAT, avant d’utiliser cette fonction.
Si votre systčm est instable ou reboot en mode [Fast], veuillez
passer en mode [Normal]. Pour l’overclocking, veuillez laisser
MAT en mode [Normal].

2. Cependant, pour des raisons de sécurité, il existe 2 fonctions de
protection dans le BIOS:
(a) Appuyez sur "Ins" si vous n’arrivez pas ŕ démarrer suite ŕ un

Introduction

D.O.T. Range

Le DOT (Dynamic Overclocking Technology) est une fonction overclocking automatique
inclut dans la nouvelle technologie CoreCell

TM

développée par MSITM. Déstiné à détecter
la charge de travail du CPU lors de l’utilisation de programmes, le DOT permet
d’augmenter la fréquence du CPU automatiquement afin que le programme soit utilisé
dans les meilleures conditions. Quand le CPU ne travaille pas ou que son activité est
faible alors les paramètres par défaut sont utilisés. En règle général, le DOT se met en
action lorsque la demande en puissance est importante comme lorsque vous utilisez
des jeux 3D. Les options sont :
[Disabled] Désactive la fonction DOT

[Private] 1er niveau d’overclocking

[Sergeant] 2ème niveau d’overclocking
[Captain] 3ème niveau d’overclocking
[Colonel] 4ème niveau d’overclocking
[General] 5ème niveau d’overclocking
[Commander] 6ème niveau d’overclocking

D.O.T Mode

Cet élément permet de choisir ce que vous allez overclocker. Les options :[CPU Only],
[CPU+AGP].

CPU Ratio Selection

Ce paramètre contrôle le multiplicateur qui est utilisé pour déterminer la vitesse de
l’horloge interne du processeur par rapport à la vitesse d’horloge de la carte mère.

DRAM Frequency (Mhz)

Utilisez ce paramètre pour configurer la fréquence de la DRAM installée. Les options
sont : FSB 400: [266], [Auto], [333], [400], [433], [466], [500].

FSB 533: [266], [333], [Auto], [400], [433], [450], [466], [500], [354 (3:4)].
FSB 800: [266], [333], [400], [Auto], [433], [450], [466], [500], [532],

[501 (4:5)], [533 (3:4)].

MSI Vous Rappelle...

1. Même si le DOT est plus stable que l’overclocking manuel, cela reste risqué.
Nous vous suggérons de faire un overclocking progressif, et du juger à la vue
des résultats si vous devez désactiver le DOT ou choisir un niveau plus ou
moins elevé d’overclocking.

2. Cependant il existe deux fonctions pour protéger l’utilisateur contre le crash
du système.

- Si l’overclocking devait vous pose un problème, il vous suffit d’appuyer
sur la touche "Ins" lors du boot du PC et ainsi restaurer les valeurs du
BIOS par déaut.

- Si le système reboot accidentellement plus de 4 fois de suite, alors les
valeurs par défaut du Bios seront rétablies.

MSI Reminds You...

La valeur plus le ration entre parenthèses (CPU: DDR) signifie
overclocking non syncrone.

F-20

Carte Mère ATX MS-6728

Spread Spectrum

Les cartes mères créent des EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). La fonction de Spread
Spectrum reduit ces EMI. Si vous n’avez pas de problème d’EMI, laisser l’option sur
Disabled, ceci vous permet une stabilité du système et des performances optimales.
Dans le cas contraire, choisissez Enabled pour rédiure les EMI. N’oubliez pas de
désactiver cette fonction si vous voulez faire de l’overclocking, afin d’éviter tout problème.
Les options: [Disabled], [Enabled].

Adjust CPU Bus Clock (Mhz)

Cet élément permet de sélectionner la fréquence CPU Bus clock (en MHz) et
d’overclocker le processeur en modifiant le FSB Les options :

FSB 400: 100-355MHz.
FSB 533: 133-500MHz
FSB 800: 200-500MHz

DDR Clock (Mhz)

Permet la lecture uniquement de l’état du clock DDR.

Adjust AGP/PCI Clock (Mhz)

Cet élément permet de sélectionner la fréquence de l’horloge AGP/PCI (en MHz).

DDR Power Voltage

Modifier le voltage DDR peut accroître la vitesse de la DDR. Tout changement peut
entraîner une instabilité, c’est pour cela qu’il n’est pas recommandé de modi-

fier les paramètres à long terme.

AGP Power Voltage

Le voltage AGP est modifiable ici, et permet d’augmenter les performances de l’AGP
par le biais de l’overclocking mais la stablité n’est pas assurée.

MSI Vous Rappelle...

Les paramètres apparaîssent avec différentes couleurs pour : CPU
Voltage (V), DDR Power Voltage and AGP Power Voltage, cela

permet de vérifier si le paramètre convient au système.
Blanc: Paramètre correct
Jaune: Paramètre haute performance

Rouge: Paramètre non recommandé, instabilité possible.

Une fois celui-ci désactivé, le systčme redémarre et vous pouvez alors entrer dans
le setup sans avoir ą entrer un mot de passe.

Quand u mot de passe est en place, vous devez le taper ą chaque fois que vous
voulez entrer dans le setup. Ceci permet d’éviter que des personnes non autorisées
n’éffectuent des changements sur votre machine.

Vous pouvez aussi mettre un mot de passe au moment de la séquence de boot.
Cela permet de restriendre l’accčs ą votre machine aux seules personnes autorisées.
L’élément qui permet de déterminer quand un mot de passe est nécessaire est l’option
PASSWORD CHECK du menu ADVANCED BIOS FEATURES. Si l’option de PASSWORD
CHECK est en position Always, le mot de passe est nécessaire au moment du boot et
au moment de l’entrée dans le setup. En position to Setup, le mot de passe n’est
nécessaire que lors de l’entrée dans le setup.

Load High Performance/BIOS Setup Defaults

Les deux options du menu principal permettent ŕ l’utilisateur de restaurer les valeurs
du BIOS en choisissant High Performance defaults ou BIOS Setup defaults. Le valeurs
High Performance Defaults sont des valeurs définies par le manufacturier afin d’avoir
un systčme performant (mais le systčme peut ne pas ętre stable). Les valeurs BIOS
Setup Defaults sont des valeurs définies en usine afin d’assurer un systčme stable
et performant.
Quand vous choisissez High Performance Defaults, un message apparaît comme
indiqué ci-dessous::

Appuyer sur ‘Entrér’ chargera les valeurs du BIOS qui activent les meilleures perfor­mances du systčme mais qui peuvent provoquer une instabilité.

Quand vous choisissez Load BIOS Setup Defaults, un message apparaît :

Appuyer sur ‘Entrér’ chargera les valeurs d’usine du BIOS pour un systčme stable.

MSI Reminds You...

The option is for power or overclocking users only. Use of high
performance defaults will tighten most timings to increase the system
performance. Therefore, a high-end system configuration is a must,
which means you need high-quality VGA adapter, RAM and so on. We

don’t recommend that users should apply the high performance
defaults in their regular systems. Otherwise, the system may be-

come unstable or even crash. If the system crashes or hangs after
enabling the feature, please CLEAR CMOS DATA to resolve the problem.
