CONTENTS
Chapter 1. Getting Started ........................................................................ 1-1
The MS6382 v2.X Micro-ATX mainboard is a high performance
computer mainboard based on VIA KT266A & VT8233A chipsets. The
KT266A chipset is ideal for high quality and high integration desktop and
notebook AGP/PCI/LPC computer systems based on Socket A processors.
The VT8233A V-Link Client controller is a highly integrated PCI/LPC
controller. It supports three PCI slots of arbitration and decoding for all
integrated functions and LPC bus.
For sophisticated power management, the KT266A chipset provides
independent clock stop control for the SDRAM, PCI buses and Dynamic
CKE control for powering down of the SDRAM. A seperate suspend-well
plane is implemented for the SDRAM control signals for the Suspend-toDRAM operation.

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.

Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports AMD® DuronTM/AthlonTM processor. The
mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket-462 for easy CPU installation.
When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and acooling 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 Installation Procedures
1. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Then, raise
the lever up to a 90-degree
angle.
2. Look for the cut edge. The cut
edge should point towards the
lever pivot. The CPU will only
fit in the correct orientation.

3. Hold the CPU down firmly,
and then close the lever to
complete the installation.
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system,
always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to

Thermal Issue for CPU
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 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 check AMDs web site for more information on proper cooling.
CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure
IfCPU Clock=100MHz
Core/Bus ratio=7
then CPU core speed=Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
=100MHz x 7
=700MHz
While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX
WARNING!
power supply or unplug the power cable of the ATX
power supply from grounded outlet first to ensure the
safety of CPU.

Memory
The mainboard provides 2 slots for 184-pin, 2.5V unbuffered DDR DIMM
with 4 memory banks. You can install PC1600 or PC2100 DDR SDRAM modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DDR 1~2). To operate properly, at least one
DIMM module must be installed.

Note: The DDR DIMM slots DO NOT support PC2700 modules.
Introduction to DDR SDRAM
DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is similar to conventional SDRAM,
but doubles the rate by transferring data twice per cycle. It uses 2.5 volts as
opposed to 3.3 volts used in SDR SDRAM, and requires 184-pin DIMM modules rather than 168-pin DIMM modules used by SDR SDRAM. Two types of
DDR SDRAM are available at the time of writing: PC1600, PC2100.
The following table shows the clock and peak bandwidth of each type of
DDR SDRAM module:

Hardware Setup
DDR Module Combination
You can install either single sided or double sided 184-pin DDR DIMM
modules into DDR DIMM slots to meet your needs. Different from the SDR
DIMM, the DDR DIMM has only one notch on the center of module. The
number of pins on either side of the breaks are different. The module will only
fit in the right orientation.
You can install memory modules in any combination as follows:

will only fit in the right orientation.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then
push it in.

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: JWR1
This connector allows you to connect to an ATX power supply. To
connect to the ATX power supply, make sure the plugs 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. The power connector supports
instant power on function which means that system will boot up immediately
when the power supply connector is inserted on the board.
The mainboard provides a standard PS/2® mouse mini DIN connector for
attaching a PS/2® mouse. You can plug a PS/2® mouse directly into this
connector. The connector location and pin assignments are as follows:
The mainboard provides a standard PS/2® keyboard mini DIN connector
for attaching a PS/2® keyboard. You can plug a PS/2® keyboard directly into
this connector.
The mainboard provides a UHCI (Universal Host Controller Interface)
Universal Serial Bus root for attaching USB devices such as keyboard, mouse
or other USB-compatible devices. You can plug the USB device directly into
the connector.
