Hardware Setup
Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports Single/Dual Intel® Xeon™ processor(s). The mainboard
uses two CPU sockets called Socket 604 for easy CPU installation. You can install
SINGLE or DUAL CPUs on the board to meet your own needs. Keep the following
points in mind before installing CPU(s):
1. If SINGLE CPU is intended, always install the CPU on the CPU1 socket.

Recommended inlet air
direction
2. To install DUAL CPUs on the board, you must use the same type of CPUs
running at the same FSB frequency.

MSI Reminds You...
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always make
sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from
overheating.
The system temperature needs to remain under 45°C.
We highly recommend that the direction of inlet air should follow the
direction indicated above for better cooling effect.
Replacing the CPU
While replacing the CPU, always turn off the SSI power supply or
unplug the power supply’s power cord from grounded outlet first to
ensure the safety of CPU.

CPU Installation Procedures for Socket 604
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 170-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.

Memory Population Rules
The mainboard supports both single- & dual-channel modes. Install at least one DIMM
module on the slots. You can install either single- or double-sided modules to meet
your own needs. In dual-channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules
of the same type and density on DDR-II DIMMs.
Memory modules can be installed in any combination as follows:
1 Single Rank X X X X Single Single
1 Dual Rank X X X X Dual Dual
2 Single Ranks X X Single Single Single Single
1 Dual Rank, 1 Single Rank
2 Dual Ranks X X Dual Dual Dual Dual
3 Single Ranks Single Single Single Single Single Single
1 Dual Rank, 2 Single Ranks Single Single Single Single Dual Dual
X X Single Single Dual Dual
Installing DDR-II Modules
1. The DDR-II 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.
MSI Reminds You...
You can barely see the golden finger if the module is properly inserted
in the socket.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.

Power Supply
Before inserting the power supply connector, always make sure that all components
are installed properly to ensure that no damage will be caused.
SSI 24-Pin Power Connector: JPWR1
This connector allows you to connect to an SSI power supply. To connect to the SSI
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.
SSI 8-Pin Power Connector: JPWR2
This connector provides 12V power output to the CPU.
The mainboard provides connectors to connect to FDD, IDE HDD, case, LAN, USB
Ports, CPU/system power supply fans, ... and etc.
Floppy Disk Drive Connector: JFDD
The mainboard provides a standard floppy disk drive connector that supports 1.44M
and 2.88M floppy disk types.
JFDD
Chassis Intrusion Switch Connector: JCI1
This connector is connected to a 2-pin chassis switch. If the chassis is open, the
switch will be short. The system will record this status and show a warning message on the screen. To clear the warning, you must enter the BIOS utility and clear the
record.

Fan Power Connectors: CPUFAN1/2/3, POWERFAN1/2/3/4
The fan power connectors support system cooling fans with +12V. When connecting the wire to the connectors, always 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 the mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset onboard, you must
use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan
control.

Front USB Connector: JUSB1
The mainboard provides one USB 2.0 pin header (optional USB 2.0 bracket available)
that is compliant with Intel® I/O Connectivity Design Guide. USB 2.0 technology increases data transfer rate up to a maximum throughput of 480Mbps, which is 40
times faster than USB 1.1, and is ideal for connecting high-speed USB interface
peripherals such as USB HDD, digital cameras, MP3 players, printers, mo-
Note that the pins of VCC and GND must be connected correctly to
avoid possible damage.
ATA100 Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1 & IDE2
The mainboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE and Ultra ATA66/100 controller that
provides PIO mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra ATA66/100 function. You can connect
up to four hard disk drives, CD-ROM, 120MB Floppy (reserved for future BIOS) and
other devices. These connectors support the provided IDE hard disk cable.
IDE2
IDE1 (Primary IDE Connector)
The first hard drive should always be connected to IDE1. IDE1 can connect a
Master and a Slave drive. You must configure second hard drive to Slave mode
by setting the jumper accordingly.
IDE2 (Secondary IDE Connector)
IDE2 can also connect a Master and a Slave drive.
MSI Reminds You...
If you install two hard disks on cable, you must configure the second
drive to Slave mode by setting its jumper. Refer to the hard disk documentation supplied by hard disk vendors for jumper setting instructions.
