AÐ1 iii Chapter 1 Overview Congratulations on your decision to purchase MS5120 Mainboard of the MATSONIC series. This mainboard features the advanced capabilities of the VIA PCI chipset with high speed PCI local BUS and super I/O and it also provides the ultimate solution for optimizing the performance of your system. This highly flexible mainboard is designed to run a full line of Intel Pentium, Cyrix/IBM 6x86, and AMD-K5 processors, and can be easily upgraded due to its 321-pin ZIF socket and auto switch Split Voltage Regulator. The processor performance is enhanced by a second level writeback pipeline Burst SRAM cache of up to 512k and main memory of up to 384MB DRAM. Main memory can be installed by using the board's four 72-pin SIMM sockets and two 168-pin DIMM sockets, which accept high performing SDRAM. The MS5120 supports three 16-bit ISA slots and four 32-bit PCI slots. Also, it features built-in high-speed super I/O onboard, including one USB connector, two 16550A UART compatible Serial ports, one EPP/ECP capable parallel port and IR which are integrated into a single dual-height rear I/O panel for optimum ease of configuration. Moreover, a high-speed PCI Bus Master Enhanced IDE controller is included to provide high-speed connections for up to four IDE devices, including Hard Disk and CD-ROM drives, and an upgradable Plug and Play Flash BIOS, and 16.6M PIO4 transfer rate. 4 Overview Main Features The MS5120 Mainboard comes with the following high-performance features: u u VIA PCIsetª chipset; Flexible Processor Support; Ñ Onboard 321-pin ZIF socket supports Intel Pentium (P54C/P55C/MMX) CPU 75 ~ 233 MHz processors Ñ Cyrix/IBM 6x86-P120+ (100MHz) ~ 6x86-P200 + (150 MHz) processors/M2 series processors Ñ AMD K5/K6 series processors; Support switch Split Voltage Regulator; Ultra-fast Level II Cache Supports onboard Pipeline Burst SRAM expandable to 512K Ñ Accepts up to 256MB RAM in two banks using four SIMMs of 8, 16, 32, 64 MB with support for FPM and EDO DRAM and two DIMMs of 8, 16, 32, 64MB with support for SDRAM and EDO DRAM; Three 16-bit ISA and four 32-bit PCI expansion slots provide Master Mode; System BIOS supports 4 IDE hard disk drives, the capacity of each hard disk can surpass 528MB up to 8GB; Universal Serial BUS (USB) Support Two Universal Serial Bus plug-in connectors integrated on the rear I/O panel; u u u u u 5 MS5120 Mainboard Manual u u Supports Ultra DMA/33 Enhanced PCI Bus Master IDE Controller Integrated Enhanced PCI local bus IDE controller with two connectors supports up to four IDE devices such as Hard Disk, CD-ROM or tape backup drives via two channels for high-speed data throughput. This controller supports PIO Modes 3 and 4, DMA Mode 2, and Ultra DMA/33 for optimized system performance; Super Multi I/O Includes two integrated 16550A UART compatible serial ports, one EPP/ECP capable parallel port, one IR port, and one Floppy Drive connector; Award BIOS System BIOS supports NCR810 SCSI BIOS firmware and Green feature function, Plug & Play Flash ROM ready. u u Static Electricity Precautions Static electricity can easily damage your MS-5120 Mainboard. The following procedures can help you to protect your mainboard from electrostatic discharge. 1. Keep the mainboard and other system components in anti-static packaging until you are ready to install them. Ground yourself before removing any system component from its protective anti-static packaging. Examples of grounded surfaces within easy reach are expansion slots at the rear of the system case and any other unpainted metallic surface on the system chassis. Frequently ground yourself to discharge static electricity that may build up in your body while installing and /or configuring your system. Avoid touching sensitive components. Only handle the mainboard by its edges or by the mounting bracket. 2. 3. 6 Overview Unpacking the Mainboard The MS-5120 Mainboard comes in a sturdy cardboard shipping carton. The carton contains the following items: ¥ ¥ ¥ MS-5120 Mainboard IDE, FDD, Serial port and Printer cables This UserÕs Manual The MS-5120 Mainboard is easily damaged by static electricity. Observe the following precautions while unpacking and installing the mainboard. Caution: Touch an unpainted area of the system chassis before handling the mainboard or any component. Doing so will discharge the static charge your body may have built. Do not apply power if the mainboard appears damaged. If there is damage to the board, or missing items, contact your dealer immediately. 7 Chapter 2 Installation Procedures This chapter explains how to configure the MS5120 Mainboard's hardware. Before doing any installation, make sure that you are working with an unplugged mainboard. Many components powered by low voltage current, but there still may be a dangerous electric current coming from the leads and power supply. To set up your computer, you should follow these installation steps: u u u u u u Step 1 Ñ Set system jumpers Step 2 Ñ Install System RAM modules Step 3 Ñ Install the CPU Step 4 Ñ Install expansion cards Step 5 Ñ Connect cables and power supply Step 6 Ñ Set up BIOS feature (Please read Chapter Three.) 8 Installation Procedures Mainboard Layout 1 IR1 JP1 1 PS1 2 1 1 USB1 2 UM8670F SL3 SL2 SL1 COM1 COM2 J2 PCI1 J1 PCI4 PCI3 PCI2 FDC1 SIMM4SIMM3SIMM2SIMM1 PRN1 JP2 1 3 BIOS IDE2 IDE1 VIA A B C D E JP8 Socket 7 AB 5V 3.3V 1 JP6 ABC DIMM2 DIMM1 JP3 1 3 VIA HD-LED TB-LED TB-SW VIA VIA AB 1 AB 1 Cache Cache JP10 J6 JP11 1 1 Keylock J5 J3 J4 1 RST Speaker J8 J7 Figure 2-1 Mainboard Component Layout 9 MS5120 Mainboard Manual Jumper Settings Jumpers You can configure hardware options by setting jumpers on the motherboard. See figure 2-1 for jumper location. Some jumpers on the board have three metal pins with each pin representing a different function. To set a jumper, a black, white, or red cap containing metal contacts is placed over the jumper pin(s) according to the required configuration. A jumper is ÒshortedÓ when a cap has been placed on one or two of its pins. NOTE : Users are not encouraged to change the jumper settings that are not listed in this manual. Changing the jumper settings improperly may adversely affect system performance. Pins 2 and 3 are shorted with a jumper cap P3 P2 P1 Pins 1 and 2 are shorted with a jumper cap P3 P2 P1 The jumper is open The jumper is shorted (closed) 10 Installation Procedures J2 Ð Power Supply Connector Pin 1 2 3 4 5 6 Description Power Good +5V DC +12V DC Ð12V DC Ground Ground Pin 7 8 9 10 11 12 Description Ground Ground Ð5V DC +5V DC +5V DC +5V DC Connectors: COM1 COM2 PRN1 IDE1 IDE2 Serial Port #1 Serial Port #2 Parallel Port Primary IDE Port Secondary IDE Port USB1 Ð Universal Serial BUS Connector Pin Description Pin Description 1 +5V DC 2 +5V DC 3 Data Ð 4 Data Ð 5 Data + 6 Data + 7 Ground 8 Ground 9 N.C. 10 N.C.
