FCC-B Radio Frequency Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class

B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed

to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equip-

ment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses

and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor-

dance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to

cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct

the interference at his own expense.

Notice 1

The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party respon-

sible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Notice 2

Shielded interface cables and A.C. power cord, if any, must be used in order to

comply with the emission limits.

Live BIOS™/Live Driver™

The Live BIOS™/Live Driver™ is a tool used to detect and

update your BIOS/drivers online so that you don’t need to search

for the correct BIOS/driver version throughout the Web site. To

use the function, you need to install the “MSI Live Update 2”

application. After installation, the “MSI Live Update 2” icon (as

shown on the right) will appear on the screen.

Double click the “MSI Live Update 2” icon, and the follow-

ing screen will appear:

Five buttons are placed on the leftmost pane of the screen. Click the desired

button to start the update process.

z Live Driver – Updates the drivers online.

zz

z Live VGA BIOS – Updates the VGA BIOS online.

zz

z Live VGA Driver – Updates the VGA driver online.

zz

z Live Utility – Updates the utilities online.

If the product you purchased does not support any of the functions listed

above, a “sorry” message is displayed. For more information on the update

instructions, insert the companion CD and refer to the “Live Update Guide”

under the “Manual” Tab.

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. Also, it 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.

Central Processing Unit: CPU

CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure

If CPU Clock = 100MHz

Core/Bus ratio = 14

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

= 100MHz x 14

= 1.4 GHz

The mainboard supports AMD

®

Athlon™, Athlon™ XP and Duron™

processors in the 462 pin package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called

Socket-462 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.

Thermal Issue for CPU

AMD Athlon™/Athlon™ XP/Duron™ processor with a speed

of 600MHz and above requires LARGER heatsink and fan.

You also need to add thermal grease between the CPU and

heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Then, make sure that the

CPU and heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact

with each other. These are needed to prevent damaging the processor and

ensuring reliable operation. You can check AMD’s web site for more information.

!

WARNING!

:

Note 1: Maximum of 2 memory DIMMs are supported. If you install 3

memory DIMMs, system unreliability and instability may occur.

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 90-

degree angle.

3. Look for the gold arrow. The

gold arrow should point to-

wards 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 pro-

cedures 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.

for the proper CPU cooler set.

1. Position your CPU cooler set onto

the CPU.

2. Use one end of the clip to hook

the latch of the CPU sliding plate.

3. Hook the other latch to fix the

cooling fan set. You may need a

screw drive to press down the

other side of the clip.

4. Connect the fan to the power sup-

ply connector provided on your

mainboard.

MS-6775 ATX Mainboard

The mainboard provides 3 slots for 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM

(Double In-Line Memory Module) modules and supports the memory size up

to 3GB. You can install PC3200/DDR400, PC2700/DDR333, PC2100/

DDR266 or PC1600/DDR200 modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DDR 1~3).

Introduction to DDR SDRAM

DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is similar to conventional SDRAM,

but doubles the rate by transferring data twice per cycle. It uses 2.5 volts as

opposed to 3.3 volts used in SDR SDRAM, and requires 184-pin DIMM modules

rather than 168-pin DIMM modules used by SDR SDRAM. High memory

bandwidth makes DDR an ideal solution for high performance PC, workstations

and servers.
