CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure

If CPU Clock = 100MHzCore/Bus ratio = 24

then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio= 100MHz x 24= 2.4 GHz

MSI Reminds You...OverheatingOverheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, al-ways make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protectthe CPU from overheating.

Replacing the CPUWhile replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power sup-ply or unplug the power supply’s power cord from groundedoutlet first to ensure the safety of CPU.

The mainboard supports Intel® Pentium® 4 processors in the 478 pinpackage. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called PGA478 for easy CPUinstallation. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has aheat sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. Ifyou do not find the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchaseand install them before turning on the computer.

1. Please turn off the power andunplug the power cord beforeinstalling the CPU.

2. Pull the lever sideways awayfrom the socket. Make sure toraise the lever up to a 90-de-gree angle.

3. Look for the gold arrow. Thegold arrow should point to-wards the lever pivot. TheCPU can only fit in the cor-rect orientation.

4. If the CPU is correctlyinstalled, the pins should becompletely embedded into thesocket and can not be seen.Please note that any violationof the correct installation pro-cedures may cause permanentdamages to your mainboard.

5. Press the CPU down firmlyinto the socket and close thelever. As the CPU is likely tomove while the lever is beingclosed, always close the leverwith your fingers pressingtightly on top of the CPU tomake sure the CPU is prop-erly and completely embed-ded into the socket.

Hardware Setup

The mainboard provides four 184-pin unbuffered PC3200/PC2700/PC2100 DDR DIMMs and supports the memory size up to 4GB. To operateproperly, at least two DIMM modules must be installed onboard.

Memory

DDR DIMM Slots(DIMM 1~4)

DDR Population RulesInstall at least one DIMM module on the slots. Each DIMM slot supports

up to a maximum size of 1GB. Users can install either single- or double-sidedmodules to meet their own needs. Please note that each DIMM can workrespectively for single-channel DDR, but there are some rules while usingdual-channel DDR (Please refer to the suggested DDR population table on p.2-8). Users may install memory modules of different type and density ondifferent-channel DDR DIMMs. However, the same type and density memorymodules are necessary while using dual-channel DDR, or instability may occur.

Installing DDR Modules1. The DDR DIMM has only one notch on the center of module. The mod-

ule 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 in-serted 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.

**Reload Global Timer Events**Primary/Secondary IDE 0/1, FDC/COM/LPT Port, PCI PIRQ [A-D]#Global Timer Events are I/O events whose occurrence can prevent the systemfrom entering a power saving mode or can awaken the system from such amode. In effect, the system remains alert for anything which occurs to a de-vice that is configured as Enabled, even when the system is in a power downmode.

MSI Reminds You...If you have changed this setting, you must let the system boot upuntil it enters the operating system, before this function will work.

PNP/PCI Configurations

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system and PnP (Plug &Play) feature. PCI, or Peripheral Component Interconnect, is a system whichallows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself useswhen communicating with its special components. This section covers somevery technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experiencedusers should make any changes to the default settings.

PNP OS InstalledWhen set to Yes, BIOS will only initialize the PnP cards used for booting(VGA, IDE, SCSI). The rest of the cards will be initialized by the PnP oper-ating system like Windows 98. When set to No, BIOS will initialize all thePnP cards. So, select Yes if your operating system is Plug & Play aware.

Reset Configuration DataNormally, you leave this field Disabled. Select Enabled to reset ExtendedSystem Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit Setup if you have installeda new add-on card and the system reconfiguration has caused such a seriousconflict that the operating system cannot boot. Setting options: Enabled,Disabled.

Resources Controlled ByThe Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically configure

all of the boot and Plug and Play compatible devices. However, this capabilitymeans absolutely nothing unless you are using a Plug and Play operating sys-tem such as Windows® 95/98. If you set this field to “manual” choose specificresources by going into each of the sub menu that follows this field (a submenu is preceded by a “ ”). Setting options: Auto (ESCD), Manual.

IRQ ResourcesThe items are adjustable only when Resources Controlled By is set to Manual.Press <Enter> and you will enter the sub-menu of the items. IRQ Resourceslist IRQ 3/4/5/7/9/10/11/12/14/15 for users to set each IRQ a type dependingon the type of device using the IRQ. Settings are:

PCI Device For Plug & Play compatible devices designed for PCIbus architecture.

Reserved The IRQ will be reserved for further request.

PCI/VGA Palette SnoopWhen set to Enabled, multiple VGA devices operating on different buses canhandle data from the CPU on each set of palette registers on every videodevice. Bit 5 of the command register in the PCI device configuration space isthe VGA Palette Snoop bit (0 is disabled). For example, if there are two VGAdevices in the computer (one PCI and one ISA):

The setting must be set to Enabled if any ISA bus adapter in the system re-quires VGA palette snooping.

INT Pin 1~8 AssignmentThese items specify the IRQ line for each PCI slot. Settings: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10,11, 12, 14, 15, Auto. Selecting Auto allows BIOS to automatically determinethe IRQ line for each PCI slot.

VGA Palette Snoop Bit Setting Action

Disabled Data read or written by the CPU is only directed to the PCIVGA device’s palette registers.

Enabled Data read or written by the CPU is directed to both the PCIVGA device’s palette registers and the ISA VGA device’spalette registers, permitting the palette registers of both VGAdevices to be identical.

PC Health Status

This section shows the status of your CPU, fan, overall system status,etc. Monitor function is available only if there is hardware monitoring mecha-nism onboard.

Chassis Intrusion DetectThe field enables or disables the feature of recording the chassis intrusionstatus and issuing a warning message if the chassis is once opened. To clearthe warning message, set the field to Reset. The setting of the field will auto-matically return to Enabled later. Setting options: Enabled, Reset, Disabled.

CPU Warning TemperatureIf the CPU temperature reaches the upper limit preset in this setting, the warn-ing mechanism will be activated. This helps you to prevent the CPU overheatproblem.

Current System/CPU Temp, Current CPU/System Fan Speed, Vcore(V),VTT(V), Vcc3(V), +5V, +12V, -12V, -5V, VBAT(V), 5VSB(V)These items display the current status of all of the monitored hardware de-vices/components such as CPU voltages, temperatures and all fans’ speeds.

Shutdown TemperatureThis option is for setting the shutdown temperature level for the processor.When the processor reaches the temperature you set, the system will be shutdown.

BIOS Setup

Use this menu to specify your settings for frequency/voltage control.

Auto Detect PCI ClkThis item is used to auto detect the PCI slots. When set to Enabled, the systemwill remove (turn off) clocks from empty PCI slots to minimize the electro-magnetic interference (EMI). Setting options: Enabled, Disabled.

Spread SpectrumWhen the motherboard’s clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes)of the pulses creates EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). The Spread Spec-trum function reduces the EMI generated by modulating the pulses so that thespikes of the pulses are reduced to flatter curves. If you do not have any EMIproblem, leave the setting at Disabled for optimal system stability andperformance. But if you are plagued by EMI, setting to Enabled for EMIreduction. Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclockingbecause even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clockspeedwhich may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up.

CPU ClockThis setting specifies the clock frequency of the CPU host bus (FSB). It pro-vides a method for end users to overclock the processor accordingly.

Set Supervisor/User Password

MSI Reminds You...About Supervisor Password & User Password:Supervisor password: Can enter and change the settings of

the setup menu.User password: Can only enter but do not have the

right to change the settings of the setupmenu.

When you select this function, a message as below will appear on thescreen:

Type the password, up to six characters in length, and press <Enter>.The password typed now will replace any previously set password from CMOSmemory. You will be prompted to confirm the password. Retype the pass-word and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection andnot enter a password.

To clear a set password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted toenter the password. A message will show up confirming the password will bedisabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you canenter Setup without entering any password.

When a password has been set, you will be prompted to enter it everytime you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from chang-ing any part of your system configuration.

Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also have AwardBIOS to request a password each time the system is booted. This would pre-vent unauthorized use of your computer. The setting to determine when thepassword prompt is required is the Security Option of the ADVANCED BIOSFEATURES menu. If the Security Option is set to System, the password isrequired both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to Setup, password promptonly occurs when you try to enter Setup.
