A10 IV 1: Introduction Chapter 1 Introduction This mainboard supports all Socket 7 processors including newer designs which feature a 100 MHz system bus . The mainboard firmware supports CPU Plug and Play so that the system will automatically adopt the correct configuration for the Socket-7 processor that you install. This mainboard uses the SiS 540 chipset which integrates a 128-bit AGP Graphics Accelerator and has an embedded 10BaseT/100BaseTX Ethernet Network Interface. The mainboard has a built-in PCI 3D Sound System and a V.90 Fax/Modem DAA module is shipped with the mainboard. There is an ADIMM slot onboard for an optional Video Bridge card. The video bridge card connects to an external TV, a TFT LCD panel display, or a secondary CRT display monitor. In addition, the mainboard has a full set of ATX I/O Ports including PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports, two USB ports, a parallel port, a serial port and a VGA port. This mainboard has all the features you need to develop a powerful multimedia workstation that is network ready, and has built-in communications. The board is Micro-ATX size and has power connectors for an ATX power supply. 1 MS6393E Mainboard User's Manual Key Features This key features of this mainboard include: Socket-7 Processor Support Supports all recent socket-7 processors including the Intel P55C (Pentium MMX), the Cyrix/IBM 6x86L/6x86MX /MII, the AMD K6/K6-2/K6-III, IDT C6, and WinChip 2/2A CPUs Supports socket-7 processors with system bus frequencies of 66/75/83/90/95/100 MHz CPU Plug and Play support lets the firmware automatically configure the CPU 512K/1 MB/2 MB external Level 2 cache memory is provided onboard Memory Support Two DIMM slots for 168-pin SDRAM memory modules Support for 66MHz, 100MHz memory bus Maximum installed memory is 2 x 512MB = 1 GB Expansion Slots Two 32-bit PCI slots One ADIMM slot for Video Bridge card or video bridge card Onboard IDE channels Primary and Secondary PCI IDE channels Support for PIO (programmable input/output) modes Support for Multiword DMA modes Support for Bus Mastering and Ultra DMA 33/66 modes Power Supply and Power Management ATX power supply connector ACPI and previous PMU support, suspend switch, keyboard power on/off Supports Wake on Modem, and Wake on Alarm 2 1: Introduction Built-in Graphics System Onboard 128-bit 2D/3D 100MHz Host interface AGP Graphics Accelerator Complies with AGP V2.0 Shared memory architecture allows a maximum of 64 MB main memory to act as frame buffer Supports high resolutions up to 1920x1200 16M colors, up to 2048x2048 Texture size and Virtual screen up to 4096x4096 Supports hardware DVD Accelerator and Direct DVD to TV playback Sound System Complies with the PC98 audio specification 16-bit CODEC for full-duplex playback and recording HRTF 3D professional audio supports both Direct Sound 3D ® and A3D ® -compatible interfaces plus support for 4channel speakers Driver support for MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows 95/98/2000/NT 4.0 Built-in 32ohm earphone buffer and 3D surround sound Provides MPU-401 Game/MIDI port and legacy Sound Blaster 16 support Downloadable Wave-table Synthesizer supports Direct Music® Stereo Mixer supports analog mixing from CD-Audio and Line In or digital mixing from voice, FM/Wave-table and digital CD-Audio Onboard I/O Ports Provides PC99 Color Connectors for easy peripheral device connections Floppy disk drive connector with 1Mb/s transfer rate One serial port with 16550-compatible fast UART One parallel port with ECP and EPP support Two USB ports Two PS/2 ports for keyboard and mouse One infrared port connector for optional module 3 MS6393E Mainboard User's Manual Built-in Ethernet LAN 10BaseT/100BaseTX Ethernet LAN LAN controller integrates Fast Ethernet MAC and PHY compliant with IEEE802.3u 100BASE-TX, 10BASE-T and ANSI X3.263 TP-PMD standards Compliant with ACPI 1.0 and the Network Device Class Power Management 1.0 High Performance provided by 100Mbps clock generator and data recovery circuit for 100Mbps receiver Hardware Monitoring Built-in hardware monitoring for CPU & System temperatures, fan speeds and mainboard voltages Fax/Modem DAA Module 56 Kbps Fax/Modem DAA module Supports V.90, V.34, V.32bis, V.32, V.22bis, V.22 Supports Auto Fallback and MNP 5, V.42bis data compression with 115,200-compatible Virtual UART Requires 16MB RAM and Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT Onboard Flash ROM Automatic CPU and board configuration Supports Plug and Play configuration of peripheral devices and expansion cards Built-in virus protection using Trend's ChipAwayVirus provides boot process virus protection.
