Hardware Setup
This chapter tells you how to install the CPU, memory modules, and expansion cards, as well as how to
setup the jumpers on the mainboard. It also provides the instructions on connecting the peripheral
devices, such as the mouse, keyboard, etc. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the
components and follow the installation procedures.
Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports Intel Pentium 4 Northwood & Prescott Celeron processor 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. (For the latest information about CPU, please visit
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support.php )
Example of CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure
If CPU Clock = 133MHz
Core/Bus ratio = 23
then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
= 133MHz x 23
= 3.06 GHz

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.
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 90-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.

Installing the CPU Fan
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds 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:
1. Locate the CPU and its retention mechanism on the motherboard.
2. Position the heatsink onto the retention mechanism.
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 down to fasten the fan. Each lever can be pressed down in only ONE
direction.
5. Connect the fan power cable from the mounted fan to the 3-pin fan power connector on the
board.
Memory
The mainboard provides two 184-pin unbuffered DDR266/DDR333/DDR400 SDRAM, and supports the
memory size up to 2GB. To operate properly, at least one DIMM module must be installed. (For the
updated supporting memory modules, please visit
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_trp_list.php )
Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. Memory modules can be installed on the slots in any
order. You can install either single- or double-sided modules to meet your own needs.
Installing DDR Modules
1. The DDR 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.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.

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. A 300W or above power supply is suggested.
ATX 20-Pin Power Connector: PWR1
This connector allows you to connect to an ATX power supply. To
connect to the ATX 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.
ATX 12V Power Connector: JPW1
This 12V power connector is used to provide power to the CPU.

Floppy Disk Drive Connector: FDD1
The mainboard provides a standard floppy disk drive connector
that supports 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk
types.
Chassis Intrusion Switch Connector: JCI1
This connector is connected to 2-pin connector chassis switch. If the
Chassis is open, the switch will be short. The system will record this status. To clear the warning, you
