Step 1
CPU Installation:
This mainboard supports Intel Pentium 4 Socket 478 series CPU. Please
follow the steps as follows to finish CPU installation.
Note the CPU orientation when you plug it into CPU socket.
1. Pull up the CPU socket lever to 90-degree angle.
CPU socket lever up to
90-degree angle
2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a black dot or cut edge on the CPU
upper interface. Match Pin 1 and cut edge, and insert the CPU into the
socket.
CPU Pin 1 and cut edge
3. Press down the CPU socket lever and finish CPU installation.
Note:The CPU might be
damaged if you do not match
the CPU socket Pin 1 and cut
edge well.
4. Intel Pentium 4 processors require a set of heatsink and fan to cool
down the processor. You need to purchase a heatsink and fan if they are not
bundled with your CPU. Required is that install the set and plug its cable
in the CPU fan power connector. Note that there are kinds of CPU fan
connectors. Normally, if your mainboard supports a hardware monitoring
function, a 3-pin fan power connector can have your system detect the
CPU fan's speed. A CPU fan with a 2-pin or 4-pin fan power connector
does not support the detection of the CPU fan's speed, and must directly
be connected to the system's power supply unit.
- 11 -
Step 2
Set Jumpers
The default jumper settings have been set for the common usage standard of
this mainboard. Therefore, you need not to reset the jumpers unless you require special adjustments as the following case:
Clear CMOS Setting
BIOS Protection Setting
For first-time DIY system builders, we recommend that you not change the
default jumper settings if you are not quite familiar with the mainboard configuration procedures. The factory-set default settings are tuned for optimum
system performance. For advanced users who prefer to customize their system, section 3.2 Jumper Settings provides the detailed information on how
to configure your mainboard manually.
Step 3
Install DDR SDRAM System Memory
To install memory, insert DDR SDRAM memory module(s) in the DIMM
banks. Note that DDR SDRAM modules are directional and will not go in the
DIMM banks if they are not properly oriented. After the module is fully inserted into the DIMM bank, lift the clips of both sides of the DIMM bank to
lock the module in place.
DDR SDRAM
- 12 -
Step 4
Install Internal Peripherals in System Case
Before you place 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.
To install IDE & FDD drives, follow these procedures:
1. Set the required jumpers on each device according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer. (IDE, 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 the IDE cable and FDD cable on the back panel of the internal
peripheral devices to the corresponding headers on board. Note that the
cable should be oriented with its colored stripe (usually red or magenta)
connected to pin#1 of the IDE or FDD connector on the mainboard 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.
- 13 -
Step 5
Mount the Mainboard on the Computer Chassis
1. You may find there are a lot of mounting holes on your computer chassis
and mainboard. To match the holes on both properly, the key point is to
make the back panel of the mainboard in a close fit with your system case,
as shown below.
2. Position the studs between the chassis and the mainboard. The studs are
used to fix the mainboard and to keep a certain distance between them,
for avoiding any electrical shorts in-between.
(If your computer case is already equipped with mounting studs, you need
to tighten the screws to attach the mainboard.)
Note: In most computer housings, you can find 4 or more holes to place
studs for fixing the mainboard. If there aren't enough matching holes,
screw at least 4 studs to ensure the proper attachment of the mainboard.

Step 12
System Boot Up For the First-Time
To ensure your system completedly and correctly installed, please refer to the
above installation steps once again before first booting up your system.
1. Insert a system-bootable floppy disk (DOS 6.2X, Windows 9X/NT, or
others), which contains the FDISK and FORMAT utilities.
2. Turn on the system power.
3. First, you need to use the FDISK utility to create a primary partition of the
hard disk. You can also add an extended partition if your primary partition
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 shown in
the FDISK program. After the FDISK procedure, reboot your system by
using the same 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 operating systems mentioned above, you can only install your HDD into any partitions no larger than 2.1GB.
4. Now, use the FORMAT utility to format all the partitions you've created.
When formatting the primary partition (C:), key in the command, "FORMAT C:/S."
Note:FORMAT C:/S can transfer all the necessary system files into the pri-
mary partition of your hard disk. Afterwards, 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.
- 20 -
Step 13
Install Drivers & Software Components
Please note that all the system utilities and drivers are designed for Win 9x/
2000/ME/NT/XP operating systems. Make sure your operating system is
already installed before running the installation programs on CD-ROM.
1.Insert the MS52PN bundled CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The
auto-run program will display the main installation window on screen.
2.Choose "Install SIS AGP Driver" and complete it.
3.Choose "Install SIS IDE Driver" and complete it.

A traditional ATX system remains in the power-off stage when AC power resumes from power failure. However, it is inconvenient for a network server or
workstation if there is not an UPS to execute power-on. Thus, this motherboard
supports an AC Power Auto Recovery function to solve this problem. You may
enable the function, "PWRON After PWR-Fail," in the sub-menu of "Power
Management Setup" within the BIOS setup program.
Note 1:The ATX power connector is directional and will not go in
unless the guides match perfectly, making sure that pin#1 is
properly positioned.
Note 2:Make sure the latch of the ATX power connector clicks into
place to ensure a solid attachment.
Note 3:Your ATX power supply must be supplied to ACPI+5V stand-
