Live BIOS™
The Live BIOS™ is a tool used to detect and update
your BIOS online so that you don’t need to search for the correct BIOS version through the whole web site. To use the
function, you need to install the “MSI Live Update Series”
application. After installation, the “MSI Live Update Series”
icon (as the right view) will appear on the screen.
Double click the “MSI Live Update Series” icon, and the following
screen will appear.
Four buttons are placed on the left column of the screen. Click the
desired button to start the update process.
Live BIOS – Updates the BIOS online. If your motherboard does
not support the function, the “sorry” message is displayed.
Live Driver – Updates the drivers online. If your motherboard
does not support the function, the “sorry” message is displayed.
Live VGA BIOS – Updates the VGA BIOS online. If your VGA
device does not support the function, the “sorry” message appears.
Live VGA Driver – Updates the VGA driver online. If your VGA
device does not support the function, the “sorry” message is
displayed.
For more information on the update instructions, insert the companion
CD and refer to the “Live Update Series Guide” under the “Manual” tab.

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.

1. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Then, raise
the lever up to a 90-degree
angle.
3. Hold the CPU firmly, and
then press the lever down to
complete the installation.

2. Look for the cut edge. The
cut edge should point
towards the lever pivot. The
CPU will only fit in the
correct orientation.
The mainboard supports AMD® Athlon™/Athlon XP/Duron™
processors. It uses a CPU socket called Socket A for easy CPU installation.
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.

As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance,
thermal management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer
systems. Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable
operation. As such, the processor must be maintained in the specified thermal
requirements. AMD recommends the use of high performance thermal interface material.
AMD Athlon™/Duron™ processor with a speed of 600MHz and above requires LARGER heatsink and fan. You also need to add thermal grease between the CPU and heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Then, make sure that
the CPU and heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each
other. These are needed to prevent damaging the processor and ensuring
reliable operation.
You can visit AMD’s web site for more information on proper cooling: http://
www.amd.com/products/cpg/athlon/pdf/cooling_guide.pdf
WARNING! Thermal Issue for CPU

CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure
If CPU Clock = 100MHz
Core/Bus ratio = 7
then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
= 100MHz x 7
= 700MHz
CPU Clock Frequency Selection Jumper: J17
The default hardware configuration for CPU Front Side Bus frequency
is set at 100MHz. Therefore, to use a 133MHz CPU and have it run at 133MHz,
you need to adjust the CPU clock up to 133MHz by changing the setting of J17.
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.

Introduction to SDRAM
Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) is a type of dynamic RAM memory
chip that has been widely used starting in the latter part of the 1990s. SDRAMs
are based on standard dynamic RAM chips, but have sophisticated features
that make them considerably faster. First, SDRAM chips are fast enough to be
synchronized with the CPU's clock, which eliminates wait states. Second, the
SDRAM chip is divided into two cell blocks, and data is interleaved between
the two so that while a bit in one block is being accessed, the bit in the other is
being prepared for access. This allows SDRAM to burst the second and
subsequent, contiguous characters at a rate of 10ns, compared to 60ns for the
first character.
SDRAM provides 800 MBps or 1 GBps data transfer depending on
whether the bus is 100MHz or 133MHz.

DIMM Modules Combination
At least one DIMM module should be installed on the motherboard.
Memory modules can be installed on the slots in any order. The single-/
double-sided memory modules that each DIMM slot supports are listed as
below:
DIMM 1 DIMM 2 DIMM 3
S/D S/D S/D
S (Single Side): 32MB ~ 512MB
D (Double Side): 64MB ~ 512MB
1. The DIMM slot has 2 Notch Keys “VOLT and DRAM”, so the DIMM
memory module can only fit in one direction.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then
push it in.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically
close.
