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 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 aheat 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.
CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure
IfCPU Clock=100MHz
Core/Bus ratio=24
then CPU core speed=Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
=100MHz x 24
=2.4 GHz
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.

MS-6763 M-ATX Mainboard
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 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.
retention mechanism
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 retention mechanism.
4. Press the two levers down to fasten
the fan. Each lever can be pressed
down in only ONE direction.

Memory
The mainboard provides four 184-pin unbuffered PC3200/PC2700/
PC2100 DDR DIMMs and supports the memory size up to 4GB. To operate
properly, at least two DIMM modules must be installed onboard.

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 memorymodules are necessary while using dual-channel DDR, or instability may occur.

MS-6763 M-ATX Mainboard
Please refer to the following table for detailed dual-channel DDR
population rules. Other combination not listed below will function as singlechannel DDR.

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.
Hardware Setup
Power Supply
The mainboard supports ATX power supply for the power system. Before inserting the power supply connector, always make sure that all components are installed properly to ensure that no damage will be caused.
ATX 20-Pin Power Connector: ATX1
This connector allows you to connect to an ATX power supply. To
connect to the ATX power supply, make sure the plug of the power supply is
inserted in the proper orientation and the pins are aligned. Then push down
the power supply firmly into the connector.
ATX 12V Power Connector: JPW1
This 12V power connector is used to provide power to the CPU.
