FCC-A Radio Frequency Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class
A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equip­ment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor­dance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct
the interference at his own expense.

Notice 1

The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party respon­sible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Notice 2

Shielded interface cables and A.C. power cord, if any, must be used in order to
comply with the emission limits.

PC Alert™ III

The PC AlertTM III 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:

ö monitor CPU & system temperatures
ö monitor fan speed(s)
ö monitor system voltage
ö monitor chassis intrusion

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 user disables the warning.

MSI Special Features

MSI Reminds You...

1. Items shown on PC Alert™ III vary depending on your system
status.

2. This feature is only available for MS-9149 mainboard without
mBMC chipset.

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.

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 Northwood / Prescott proces-

sor 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.

Installing the CPU Fan

As proces sor technology pushes to faster s peeds 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 dow n to fasten
the fan. Each lever can be pressed
down in only ONE direction.

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 c orr ect ly
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.
