MSI Special Features
The MSI special features are designed by MSI R&D which are only available in
MSI mainboards. The mainboard is equipped with D-LED™.
D-LED™
The D-LED™ uses graphic signal display to help
users understand their system. Four LEDs embedded on
the mainboard provide up to 16 combinations of signals
to debug the system. The 4 LEDs can debug all problems
that fail the system, such as VGA, RAM or other failures. This special
feature is very useful for the overclocking users. These users can use the
feature to detect if there are any problems or failures. The definitions of LED
signal combinations are listed below:

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 Single/Dual Intel® Pentium III processors.
The mainboard uses two CPU sockets called Socket 370 for easy CPU
installation. You can install SINGLE or DUAL CPUs on the board to meet
your own needs. Keep the following points in mind before installing CPU(s):
z If SINGLE CPU is intended, always install the CPU on the CPU1
socket.
z T o install DUAL CPUs on the board, you must use the same type
of CPUs running at the same FSB frequency.
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.
CPU1
Note: Both Tualatin with 256K L2 cache and Tualatin with
512K L2 cache are able to be used on the motherboard. But
Tualatin with 256K L2 cache can be used only when you
install SINGLE CPU on the board.
Hardware Setup

1.
Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Then, raise
the lever up to a 90-degree
angle.
CPU Installation Procedures
2. Look for the gold arrow.
The gold arrow should point
towards the end of lever.
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 protect the CPU from overheating.

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
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.
WARNING!

The mainboard provides 4 sockets for 184-pin DDR DIMM (Double In-
Line Memory Module) modules and supports a maximum memory size of 4GB.
Memory
DDR DIMM Slots
(DIMM 1~4)
Introduction to DDR SDRAM
You can install PC1600/PC2100 DDR SDRAM modules on the DDR
DIMM slots (DIMM 1~4).
DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is similar to conventional SDRAM,
but doubles the rate by transfering data twice per cycle. It transfers data on
both the rising and falling edges of the clock. Conventional SDRAM only
uses the rising edge of the clock to transfer data. Therefore, conventional
SDRAM is called SDR (Single Data Rate) SDRAM.
DDR SDRAM 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. DDR SDRAM is also known as SDRAM-II,
DDR DRAM and DSDRAM (Double-Speed DRAM).
T wo types of DDR are available at the time of writing: PC1600 & PC2100.
PC1600 DDR SDRAM running at 100MHz will produce about 1.6GB/s memory
bandwidth. PC2100 running at 133MHz will produce 2.1GB/s memory
bandwidth. High memory bandwidth makes DDR an ideal solution for high
performance PC, workstations and servers.

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:

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.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically
close.
