MSI Reminds You...

The mainboard provides two video-out connectors (JTV1 and
VGA port) but supports only one video output. Therefore, if a
device is connected to JTV1 first, the VGA port will be disabled
and vice versa.

MS-7003 M-ATX Mainboard

MSI Reminds You...

1. Each board will be given a unique 1394 GUID from the
manufacturer’s default settings in the system BIOS.

2. Use the flash utility or Live Update from MSI’s website for BIOS
update. The 1394 GUID address is burnt in the BIOS core. If the
1394 GUID address is lost due to an unpredictable event, such as
replacing a new BIOS chip, users can use the utility from MSI’s
website by entering the 1394 GUID address to recover its origi­nal one.

CoreCenter

CoreCenter

(TM)

- contains OC Menu panel, wherein users can determine
their processor and memory type to optimize its memory capacity. This all-in­one hardware console is advanced combination of the popular PC Alert and
Fuzzy Logic. Including powerful function with hardware monitor, system alert
and instinctive UI of overclocking, CoreCenter is just like your PC doctor that
can detect, view and adjust the PC hardware and system status during real time
operation.

In the left side it shows the current system status including the Vcore,

3.3V, +5V and 12V. In the right side it shows the current PC hardware status
such as the CPU & system temperatures and all fans speeds.

When you click the red triangles in the left and right sides, two sub-

menus will open for users to overclock, overspec or to adjust the thresholds of
system to send out the warning messages. If you click the Core Center button
in the top, a screen pops up for you to choose the “Auto mode” or “User
mode” of CPU fan.

Hardware Setup

Left-wing: Current system status

In the left sub-menu, you can configure the settings of FSB, Vcore, Memory
Voltage and AGP Voltage by clicking the radio button in front of each item and
make it available (the radio button will be lighted as yellow when selected), use
the “+” and “-” buttons to adjust, then click “OK” to apply the changes. Then
you can click Save to save the desired FSB you just configured.

Also you may click Auto to start testing the maximal CPU overclocking
value, The CPU FSB will automatically increase the testing value until the PC
reboots. Or you may click Default to restore the default values.

Right-wing: PC hardware status during real time operation

In the right sub-menu, here you can configure the PC hardware status
such as CPU & system temperatures and fan speeds. You may use the scroll
bars to adjust each item, then click “OK” to apply the changes. The values you
set for the temperatures are the maximum thresholds for the system for warnings,
and the value for fan speeds are the minimum thresholds.

Top-side: User mode/Auto mode

Here you may adjust the CPU fan speed. If you choose User mode, you
may adjust the CPU fan speed in 8 different modes, from Low speed to High
speed.

Chapter 2. 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.

CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure

If CPU Clock = 100MHz

Core/Bus ratio = 17

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

= 100MHz x 17
= 1.7 GHz

The mainboard supports Intel® Pentium® 4 PSC, Willamette, Celeron,
Northwood 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.

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.

MS-7003 M-ATX Mainboard

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 90­degree 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:

2. Position the heatsink onto the reten­tion mechanism.

1. Locate the CPU and its retention
mechanism on the motherboard.

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.

DDR Module Combination

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 double­sided modules to meet your own needs.

Memory modules can be installed in any combination as follows:

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.

MSI Reminds You...

You can barely see the golden finger if the module is properly
inserted in the socket.
