FCC-A Radio Frequency
Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at his own expense.

Notice 1

The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Notice 2

Shielded interface cables and AC power cord, if any, must be used in order to
comply with the emission limits.

VOIR LA NOTICE D’INSTALLATION AVANT DE RACCORDER AU RESEAU.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:

this device may not cause harmful interference, and

this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.

WEEE Statement

Under the European Union (“EU”) Directive on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment, Directive 2002/96/EC, which takes effect on
August 13, 2005, products of “electrical and electronic equipment”
cannot be discarded as municipal waste anymore and manufacturers
of covered electronic equipment will be obligated to take back such products at
the end of their useful life. MSI will comply with the product take back require­ments at the end of life of MSI-branded products that are sold into the EU. You

This chapter provides you with the information about hardware setup
procedures. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the com

­ponents 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.

Memory

These DIMM slots are intended for memory modules.

Installing Memory Modules

Locate the SO-DIMM slot. Align the notch on the DIMM with the key on the
slot and insert the DIMM into the slot.

Push the DIMM gently downwards until the slot levers click and lock the
DIMM in place.

To uninstall the DIMM, 󰘱ip the slot levers outwards and the DIMM will be
released instantly

Important

You can barely see the golden 󰘰nger if the DIMM is properly inserted in the DIMM
slot.

Hardware Setup MS-98D1

Jumper

Important

Avoid adjusting jumpers when the system is on; it will damage the motherboard.

Clear CMOS Jumper: JBAT1

There is a CMOS RAM onboard that has a power supply from an external battery
to keep the data of system configuration. With the CMOS RAM, the system can
automatically boot OS every time it is turned on. If you want to clear the system
configuration, set the jumper to clear data.

Important

You can clear CMOS by shorting 2-3 pin while the system is off. Then return to
1-2 pin position. Avoid clearing the CMOS while the system is on; it will damage
the motherboard.

PCI-104 Slot

The PCI-104 computer bus utilizes 104 pins. These pins include all the normal
lines used in the PCI bus, with additional ground pins added to ensure
bus integrity. Signal timing and voltage levels are identical to the PCI bus,
with lower current requirements. The PCI-104 form factor allows modules to
stack together like building blocks.

This chapter provides information on the BIOS Setup program and allows
users to configure the system for optimal use.

Users may need to run the Setup program when:

An error message appears on the screen at system startup and re­quests users to run SETUP.

Users want to change the default settings for customized features.

Important

Please note that BIOS update assumes technician-level experience.

Full Screen Logo Display

This BIOS feature determines if the BIOS should hide the normal POST mes

-

sages with the motherboard or system manufacturer’s full-screen logo.
When it is enabled, the BIOS will display the full-screen logo during the boot-up

sequence, hiding normal POST messages.
When it is disabled, the BIOS will display the normal POST messages, instead

of the full-screen logo.
Please note that enabling this BIOS feature often adds 2-3 seconds of delay to

the booting sequence. This delay ensures that the logo is displayed for a suf

­ficient amount of time. Therefore, it is recommended that you disable this BIOS
feature for a faster boot-up time.

Bootup NumLock State

This setting is to set the Num Lock status when the system is powered on. Setting
to [On] will turn on the Num Lock key when the system is powered on. Setting to
[Off] will allow users to use the arrow keys on the numeric keypad.

Option ROM Messages

This item is used to determine the display mode when an optional ROM is ini

­tialized during POST. When set to [Force BIOS], the display mode used by AMI
BIOS is used. Select [Keep Current] if you want to use the display mode of op­tional ROM.

CPU Configuration

Hyper-Threading

The processor uses Hyper-Threading technology to increase transaction rates
and reduces end-user response times. The technology treats the two cores
inside the processor as two logical processors that can execute instructions
simultaneously. In this way, the system performance is highly improved. If
you disable the function, the processor will use only one core to execute the
instructions. Please disable this item if your operating system doesn’t support
HT Function, or unreliability and instability may occur.

Execute Disable Bit

Intel’s Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of malicious
“buffer overflow” attacks when combined with a supporting operating system.
This functionality allows the processor to classify areas in memory by where
application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm
attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution,
preventing damage or worm propagation.

Limit CPUID Maximum

The Max CPUID Value Limit BIOS feature allows you to circumvent problems
with older operating systems that do not support the Intel Pentium 4 processor
with Hyper-Threading Technology. When enabled, the processor will limit the
maximum CPUID input value to 03h when queried, even if the processor
supports a higher CPUID input value. When disabled, the processor will return
the actual maximum CPUID input value of the processor when queried.

Console Redirection

Console Redirection operates in host systems that do not have a monitor and
keyboard attached. This setting enables/disables the operation of console re

-

direction. When set to [Enabled], BIOS redirects and sends all contents that
should be displayed on the screen to the serial COM port for display on the
terminal screen. Besides, all data received from the serial port is interpreted
as keystrokes from a local keyboard.

Console Redirection Settings

Terminal Type

To operate the system’s console redirection, you need a terminal supporting
ANSI terminal protocol and a RS-232 null modem cable connected between
the host system and terminal(s). This setting specifies the type of terminal
device for console redirection.

Bits per second, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits

This setting specifies the transfer rate (bits per second, data bits, parity,
stop bits) of Console Redirection.

Flow Control

Flow control is the process of managing the rate of data transmission be

-

tween two nodes. It’s the process of adjusting the flow of data from one
device to another to ensure that the receiving device can handle all of the
incoming data. This is particularly important where the sending device is ca­pable of sending data much faster than the receiving device can receive it.

VT-UTF8 Combo Key Support

This setting enables/disables the VT-UTF8 combination key support for
ANSI/VT100 terminals.

Recorder Mode, Resolution 100x31

These settings enable/disable the recorder mode and the resolution
100x31.

Legacy OS Redirection Resolution

This setting specifies the redirection resolution of legacy OS.

The setting enables/disables the Deep S5 power saving mode. S5 is almost
the same as G3 Mechanical Off, except that the PSU still supplies power, at
a minimum, to the power button to allow return to S0. A full reboot is required.
No previous content is retained. Other components may remain powered so the
