3 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
This section outlines how to install and configure your MS11 mainboard. Refer to the
following mainboard layout to help you identify various jumpers, connectors, slots, and
ports. Then follow these steps designed to guide you through a quick and correct installation of your system.
3.1 Step-by-Step Installation
MS11 Mainboard with 3 PCI Slots
- 11 -
Step 1
Install the CPU:
1. Locate the CPU ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket on the upper-right
sector of your mainboard (between the back-panel connectors and the
DIMM memory banks).
2. Pull the CPU ZIF socket lever slightly sideways away from the socket
to unlock the lever, then bring it to an upward vertical position.
3. Place your PGA 370 Celeron processor in the ZIF socket. Note that
the CPU’s edges have been purposely designed non-symmetrical to
prevent from inserting the processor in the wrong direction. The follow
ing diagram demonstrates the correct placement of the CPU in the ZIF
socket. You can see that the two blunt-edged corners should face to
wards the socket-lever.
4. Slightly push the CPU into the socket without applying excessive force
while making sure there is no gap between CPU and socket. Then
lower the socket-lever all the way down to its horizontal position and
lock it to secure the CPU in place.
6. The PGA 370 CPU requires a set of heatsink/fan to ensure proper
cooling of the processor. If not already mounted on your CPU, you must
purchase the heatsink/fan separately and have it installed. Plug the cable
from the heatsink/fan to the CPU fan power connector located at the
immediate right of the ZIF socket. Note that there are several types of
CPU fan connectors. Normally, if your mainboard supports the hardware
monitoring function, a 3-pin fan power connector should allow your
system to detect the CPU fan’s speed . The CPU fan can also run with a
2-pin fan power connector, however, detection of CPU fan’s speed is not
supported. Another type of CPU fan may feature a large 4-pin fan power
connector, which does not support CPU fan's speed detection and must
connect directly to the system’s power supply unit. Please refer to the
following diagram.
- 12 -
Step 2.
Set Jumpers
This mainboard is jumperless! The default jumper settings have been set for
the common usage standard of this mainboard. Therefore, you do not need
to reset the jumpers unless you require special adjustments as in any of the
following cases:
1. Over-clock your CPU
2. Disabled the onboard audio before installing an add-on sound card
3. Clear CMOS
4. Set the wake up function by keyboard/PS2 mouse or USB
For first-time DIY system builders, we recommend that you do not change
the default jumper settings if you are not totally familiar with mainboard
configuration procedures. The factory-set default settings are tuned for
optimum system performance. For the advanced users who wish to customize their system, section 3.2 Jumper Settings will provide detailed information on how to configure your mainboard manually.
Step 3
Install SDRAM System Memory
To install memory, insert SDRAM memory module(s) in any one or two
DIMM banks. Note that SDRAM modules are directional and will not go in
the DIMM slots unless properly oriented. After the module is fully inserted
into the DIMM socket, lift the clips of both sides of the DIMM bank to lock
the module in place.
- 13 -
Step 4
Install Internal Peripherals in System Case
Before you install and connect the mainboard into your system case, we
recommend that you first assemble all the internal peripheral devices into
the computer housing, including but not limited to the hard disk drive (IDE/
HDD), floppy disk drive (FDD), CD-ROM drive, and ATX power supply
unit. This will greatly facilitate in making the connections to the mainboard
described below.
To install IDE & FDD drives, follow this procedure:
1. Set the required jumpers on board each device according to the
instructions provided by the manufacturer. (IDE devices, HDD and CD-
ROM, have to set jumpers to Master or Slave mode depending on
whether you install more than one device of each kind.)
2. Connect IDE cable and FDD cable on the back-panel of the internal
peripheral devices. Note that the cable should be oriented with its
colored stripe (usually red or magenta) connected to pin#1 both on the
mainboard IDE or FDD connector and on the device as well.
3. Connect an available power cable from your system power supply unit
to the back-panel of each peripheral device. Note that the power cable is
directional and cannot fit in if not properly positioned.
- 14 -
Step 5
Mount the Mainboard on the Computer Chassis
1. You may find that there are a lot of different mounting hole positions
both on your computer chassis and on the mainboard. To choose a
correct mounting hole, the key point is to keep the back-panel of the
mainboard in a close fit with your system case, as shown below.
2. After deciding on the proper mounting holes, position the studs between
the frame of the chassis and the mainboard. The studs are used to fix the
mainboard and to keep a certain distance between the system chassis
and the mainboard, in order to avoid any electrical shorts be tween the
board and the metal frame of the chassis. (If your computer case is
already equipped with mounting studs, you will need to tighten screws to
attach the mainboard.)
Note: In most computer housings, you will be able to find 4 or more
attachment points to install mounting studs and fix the mainboard.
If there aren’t enough matching holes, then make sure to install at
least 3 mounting studs to ensure proper attachment of the
mainboard.
- 15 -
Step 6
Connect Front Panel Switches/LEDs/Speaker/USB connectors
You can find there are several different cables already existing in the system
case and originating from the computer’s front-panel devices (HDD LED,
Power LED, Reset Switch, PC Speaker, etc.) These cables serve to connect
the front-panel switches, LEDs and USB connectors to the mainboard’s
front-panel connectors group (J8 and J5/JP4), as shown below.
1. ATX Soft Power On/Off

Step 12
First Time System Boot Up
To assure the completeness and correctness of your system installation, you
may check the above installation steps once again before you boot up your
system for the first time.
1. Insert a bootable system floppy disk (DOS 6.2x, Windows 95/98/NT, or
others) which contains FDISK and FORMAT utilities into the FDD.
2. Turn on the system power.
3. First, you must use the FDISK utility to create a primary partition of the
hard disk. You can also add an extended partition if your primary parti-
tion does not use all of the available hard disk space. If you choose to
add an extended partition, you will have to create one or more logical
partitions to occupy all the space available to the extended partition. The
FDISK utility will assign a drive letter (i.e., C:, D:, E:,...) to each partition
which will be shown in the FDISK program. After FDISK procedure,
reboot your system by using the same system floppy disk.
Note: DOS 6.2x and Windows 95A can only support up to 2.1GB of
HDD partition. If you use the FDISK utility with one of the operat
ing systems mentioned above, you can only devide your HDD into
partitions no larger than 2.1GB each.
4. Now, use the FORMAT utility to format all the partitions you’ve created.
When formatting the primary partition (C:), make sure to use the FOR
MAT C: /S command.
Note: FORMAT C: /S can transfer all the necessary system files into the
primary partition of your hard disk. Then, your HDD will become
a bootable drive.
5. Install all the necessary drivers for CD-ROM, Mouse, etc.
6. Setup the complete operating system according to your OS installation
guide.
- 23 -
Step 13
Install Drivers & Software Components
Please note that all the system utilities and drivers are designed for Win 9x
operating systems only. Make sure your Windows 9x operating system is
already installed before running the drivers installation CD-ROM programs.
1. Insert the MS11 bundled CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The
auto-run program will display the drivers main installation window on
screen.
2. Select the Video related program.
3. Install the Video driver.
4. Return to the main installation window and select the Audio related
program.
5. Install the AD1881 driver.
6. Return to the main installation window and exit the auto-run drivers
installation program.
- 24 -
3.2 Jumper Settings
Several hardware settings are made through the use of jumper caps to
connect jumper pins on the mainboard. Pin #1 is located on the top or on
the left when holding the mainboard with the keyboard connector or other
back-panel connectors opposite from you, as shown below.
3-pin and multi (>3) pin jumpers show as follows:
Pin #1 on the left:
Pin #1 on the top:
Jumpers with two pins are shown as for Short [On] or for
Open [Off]. To Short jumper pins, simply place a plastic jumper cap over
the desired pair of pins.
Caution!
1. Do not remove the mainboard from its antistatic protective packaging
until you are ready to install it.
2. Carefully hold the mainboard by its edges and avoid touching its compo
nents. When putting the mainboard down, place it on top of its original
packaging film, on an even surface, and components side up.
3. Wear an antistatic wrist strap or take other suitable measures to prevent
electrostatic discharge (ESD) whenever handling this equipment.
