INTRODUCTION

1-1

The MSI LPX ZX4 mainboard is a high-performance all-in-one computer mainboard based on the Intel® CeleronTM processor. This mainboard combines leading edge SiS 6326 AGP technology in graphics, Creative

®

ES1373 PCI technology in audio, and Intel® 82558 10/100M Ethernet for LAN. The Intel® CeleronTM processor supports MMX

TM

(Multimedia

Extension) technology .

The mainboard uses the highly integrated Intel® 82443ZX AGPset to support the PCI/ISA and Green standards, and to provide the Host/AGP bridge. The Intel® 82371EB chipset integrates all system control functions such as ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface). The ACPI provides more Energy Saving Features for the OSPM(OS Direct Power Management) function. The Intel® 82371EB chipset also improves the IDE transfer rate by supporting Ultra DMA/33 IDE that transfers data at the rate of 33MB/s.

The mainboard also supports the System Hardware Monitor Controller as an optional function. Its functions include: CPU fan revolution detect, CPU/ system voltage monitor, system temperature monitor, and chassis intrusion detect(optional).

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2.1 Central Processing Unit: CPU

The mainboard operates with Intel® CeleronTM processor. The mainboard uses Socket 370 for easy CPU installation and a jumper switch (SW1) to set the proper speed for the CPU. The CPU should always have a Heat Sink and a cooling fan attached to prevent overheating.

CPU

3. Press the lever down to complete the installation.

2 . Locate Pin 1 in the socket

and look for the white dot or cut edge in the CPU. Match Pin 1 with the white dot/cut edge. Then, insert the CPU. It should insert easily.

1 . The DIP Switch SW1 (1, 2, 3, and 4) is used to set the Core/Bus (Fraction)

ratio of the CPU. The actual core speed of the CPU is the Host Clock Frequency multiplied by the Core/Bus ratio. For example:

If CPU Clock = 66MHz

Core/Bus ratio = 5.5

then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio

= 66MHz x 5.5 = 333 MHz

These connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. It supports three pin head connector. When connecting the wire to the connector, always take 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 your mainboard has System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of this function.

For fans with fan speed sensor, every rotation of the fan will send out 2 pulses. System Hardware Monitor will count and report the fan rotation speed.

Setup(default) The system will boot, but access to Setup will

be denied if the correct password is not entered at the prompt.

PCI VGA Palette Snooping

Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic controllers which are not VGA compatible, take the output from a VGA controller and map it to their display as a way to provide the boot information and the VGA compatibility .

However, the color information coming from the VGA controller is drawn from the palette table inside the VGA controller to generate the proper colors, and the graphic controller needs to know what is in the palette of the VGA controller. To do this, the non-VGA graphic controller watches for the Write access to the VGA palette and registers the snoop data. In PCI based systems, where the VGA controller is on the PCI bus and a non-VGA graphic controller is on an ISA bus, the Write Access to the palette will not show up on the ISA bus if the PCI VGA controller responds to the Writes.

In this case, the PCI VGA controller should not respond to the Write. It should only snoop the data and permit the access to be forwarded to the ISA bus. The non-VGA ISA graphic controller can then snoop the data on the ISA bus. Unless you have the above situation, you should disable this option.

Disabled (default) Disables the function

Enabled Enables the function

Video RAM Cacheable

Select Enabled allows caching of the video RAM, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.

8 Bit I/O Recovery Time

The recovery time is the length of time, measured in CPU clocks, which the system will delay after the completion of an input/output request. This delay takes place because the CPU is operating so much faster than the input/output bus that the CPU must be delayed to allow for the completion of the I/O.

This item allows you to determine the recovery time allowed for 8 bit I/O. Choices are from NA, 1 to 8 CPU clocks.

16 Bit I/O Recovery Time

This item allows you to determine the recovery time allowed for 16 bit I/O. Choices are from NA, 1 to 4 CPU clocks.

Memory Hole At 15M-16M

In order to improve performance, certain space in memory can be reserved for ISA cards. This memory must be mapped into the memory space below 16 MB.

AGP Aperture Size (MB)

Select the size of the Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) aperture. The aperture is a portion of the PCI memory address range dedicated for graphics memory address space. Host cycles that hit the aperture range are forwarded to the AGP without any translation.

Auto Detect DIMM/PCI Clk

This item allows you to select theDIMM/PCI clock. The other sockets will not generate when DIMM/PCI cards are not installed. The setting should be set to enabled which works better for EMI.

Spread Spectrum Modulated

This item allows you to select the clock generator Spread Spectrum function. The default is enabled. This item should always be set to Disabled, if you over-clock the processor.

CPU Host Clock (CPU/PCI)

This item automatically detects the CPU speed and sets to default value. The settings are 66/33MHz, 75/37MHz, 83/41MHz, 100/33MHz, 103/34MHz, 112/37MHz, 124/41MHz, 133/44MHz, 105/35MHz, 110/36MHz, 115/38MHz, 120/40MHz, 124/31MHz, 133/33MHz, 140/35MHz, and 150/37MHz.

Resources Controlled By

By Choosing “Auto”, the system BIOS will detect the system resource and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA Channel for each peripheral.

By Choosing “Manual”(default), the user will need to assign IRQ & DMA for add-on cards. Be sure that there is no conflict for IRQ/DMA and I/O ports.

Note: When choosing “Auto”, you must be sure that all of the system

add-on cards are PnP type.

Reset Configuration Data

The system BIOS supports the PnP feature so the system needs to record which resource is assigned and protect resources from conflict. Every peripheral device has a node which is called ESCD. This node records which resources are assigned to it. The system needs to record and update ESCD to the memory locations. These locations (4K) are reserved at the system BIOS.

If Disabled (default) is chosen, the system’s ESCD will update only

when the new configuration varies from the last one.

If Enabled is chosen, the system will be forced to update the

system’s ESCD. Then, this option will be auto-set to Disable.

Note: Some IDE HDD can not operate at the responding HDD’ s mode.

When the user has selected “Auto” and the system BIOS has accepted the HDD response mode, the user may degrade the HDD’s operation mode. Ex: IF the HDD reported it can operate in mode 4 but it is not operating properly , the user will have to manually change the operation mode to mode 3.

Choosing Mode 1-4 will have the system ignore the HDD’s reported operation mode and use the selected mode instead.

Note:According to ATA specs. Mode 4 transfer rate is > Mode 3 > Mode 2

2.3 Using “SiS TV-OUT”

If there are S-connector or composite connector in your adapter and you had connected your TV to one of this connector (S-connector would get more better quality) and you had turned TV on and you are in one of 640x480x60Hz modes for NTSC and 800x600x56Hz modes for P AL. Then,

1. Go to “Display Properties” Screen and you will find that “SiS TV-OUT” item had been added.

2. First select “SiS TV-OUT” item and you may

l Use “Color Calibration Turning” to tune your color TV to get color if it

appears black/white.

l For NTSC, use “NTSC” to select “640x480 60Hz” to get full TV display

but some information would be invisible. Or select “560x420 60Hz” to get a small display screen on your TV.

l For P AL, use “P AL” to select “800x600 50Hz” to get full TV display but

some information would be invisible. Or select “720x540 50Hz” to get a small display screen on your TV.
