HARDWARE INSTALLATION
3.1 The Installation PPGA Celeron ProcessorThe Installation PPGA Celeron Processor
MB11/MZ11 mainboard provides a 370-pin ZIF Socket370 for Intel PPGA Celeron CPU.
The CPU that came with the mainboard should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating. If this is not the case then purchase a fan before you turn on your system.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF
Socket370 and open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket then
upwards to a 90-degree right angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as
shown.(Figure 3-1) Use the notched corner of the CPU as your guide. The notched corner
should point towards the end of the lever. Notice that there are two blank area where one
hole is missing from that corner of the square array of pin holes. Because the CPU has a
corner pin for two of the four corner, the CPU will only fit in the one orientation, hold
down on the CPU and close the socket’s lever.
Figure 3-1
Then you should have a CPU fan that will
cover the face of the CPU. Apply thermal
jelly to the CPU metallic top and then
install the fan onto the CPU. (Figure 3-2 )

Onboard Creative 3D Audio
Introduce
CREATIVE ES1373 Sound Blaster AudioPCI™ 64V
The On-board audio controller is the new Creative AC97 digital controller which provides the
next generation of audio performance to the PC market. The ES1373 is available in a 5.0 V PCI
bus compatible device that enables the Creative/ENSONIQ Wavetable synthesis PCI solution.
The ES1373 chip includes a complete audio recording and playback system. The ES1373 interfaces to the PCI bus and to AC97, an industry standard CODEC/mixer. This solution is sound
Blaster PCI compatible utilizing a patented method of Sound Blaster emulation from Ensoniq. In
addition, it is compliant to AC97 interface, Microsoft PC97 and PC98, and Multimedia PC Level
II and III specifications.
The ES1373 provides 64 voices polyphony for wavetable audio, sound effects such as reverb,
chorus, bass, and treble. As a result, the produced music is more complete and closer to the
actual sound. What's more, the ES1373 supports the 3D Positional Audio algorithm from
Ensoniq. This 3D Positional Audio implementation also supports the Aureal A3D API for 3D
Positional Audio. This allows applications written to this API to run on the ES1373.
The ES1373 support Microsoft DirectSound, DirectSound 3D and DirectMusic. All of these
implementations are accelerated through the drivers from Ensoniq. This provides better overall
performance for the system and the audio quality.
