DIMM Module Combination Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. You can install either single- or
double-sided modules in any order to meet your own needs.
Memory modules can be installed in any combination as follows: Memory
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 DDR266 / 333/400 modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DDR 1~3). Please note that the system will support dual channel DDR when you insta\

DDR modules on DIMM1(purple slot) and DIMM3(green slot), or DIMM2(p\
urple slot)
and DIMM3(green slot). For the updated supporting memory modules, please visit http://www.msi.

Hardware Setup
Installing DDR Modules
1.The DDR DIMM has only one notch on the center of module. The module 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 inserted 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 in-
serted in the socket.

MSI Reminds You...
1. These two connectors connect to the ATX power supply and have to
work together to ensure stable operation of the mainboard.
2. Power supply of 350 watts (and above) is highly recommended for
system stability.

For advanced audio application, Realtek ALC655 audio chip is pro-
vided to offer support for 6-channel audio operation and can turn
rear audio connectors from 2-channel to 4-/6-channel audio.
Audio Port Connectors (Optional)
This mainboard may provide two different combinations of Audio Port
Connectors: TYPE I and TYPE II.  Find the correct type according to the mainboard you
have with you.
Both TYPE I and TYPE II integrate three audio jacks for 2-channel mode stereo
speaker output:   Line In is used for external CD player, Tape player, or other audio
devices.  Line Out is a connector for Speakers or Headphones.  MIC is a connector
for microphones.
However, TYPE II also integrates an advanced audio application which is
provided by Realtek ALC655 to offer support for 6-channel audio operation and
can turn rear audio connectors from 2-channel to 4-/6-channel audio.  For more
information on 6-channel audio operation, please refer to Chapter 4: Introduction
to DigiCell.

The mainboard provides connectors to connect to FDD, IDE HDD, case, LAN,
USB Ports, IR module and CPU/System FAN.
Floppy Disk Drive Connector: FDD1
The mainboard provides a standard floppy disk drive connector that supports
360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk types.

Fan Power Connectors: CPU_FAN1/S_FAN1/S_FAN2/NB_FAN1
The CPU_FAN1 (processor fan), S_FAN1 (system fan 1), S_FAN2 (system fan
2) and NB_FAN1 (NorthBridge Chipset fan) support system cooling fan with +12V. It
supports three-pin head connector. When connecting the wire to the connectors,
always take note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the
+12V, the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If the mainboard
has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially de-
signed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control.
