MSI MS-6183 User manual
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1-1
The MS-6183 Micro ATX WH9 mainboard is a high-performance
computer mainboard based on Intel®810 chipset. The MS-6183 is designed
for the Intel®Pentium II/III or CeleronTM processor for inexpensive
business/personal desktop markets.
The Intel®810 chipset is the first generation Integrated Graphics
chipset for the Intel®CeleronTM processor. The graphics accelerator archi-
tecture consists of dedicated multi-media engines executing in parallel to
deliver high performance 3D, 2D, and motion compensation video capabili-
ties. An integrated centralized memory arbiter allocates memory bandwidth
to multiple system agents to optimize system memory utilization. A new
chipset component interconnect, the hub interface, is designed into the Intel
810 chipset to provide an efficient communication channel between the
memory controller hub and I/O hub controller.
The Intel 810 chipset contains three core components: the Graph-
icsandMemoryControllerHub(GMCH),theI/OControllerHub(ICHO/ICH)
andtheFirmwareHub (FWH). The GMCH integrates a 66/100MHz, P6
family system bus controller, integrates 2D/3D graphics accelerator, 100MHz
SDRAM controller and high-speed hub interface for communication with the
ICHO/ICH. TheICHO/ICH integrates an Ultra ATA/33(ICHO)orUltra ATA/
66(ICH)controller, USB host controller,LPCinterfacecontroller, FWH
inteface conroller, PCI interface controller, AC’97 digital controller and a hub
interfaceforcommunicationwith the GMCH.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
2.1 Central Processing Unit: CPU
Step 1: Install the Retention Mechanism.
Attach the Retention Mechanism to the Mainboard. Push the Plastic
lock to secure the Retention Mechanism into the mainboard.
Secure the processor by
pulling up the Retention
Mechanism Processor
Lock
Insert the processor
like inserting a PCI or
an ISA card
To release the
processor, push the
Retention Mechanism
Processor lock down
Step 2: Install the Processor.
Insert the Processor like inserting a PCI or an ISA card.
Step 3: Lock the Processor.
Lock the processor by pulling up the Retention Mechanism
processor lock shown above.
Note: The Retention Mechanism processor lock can only lock S.E.C.C. 2

The mainboard CPU Bus Frequency can be set through BIOS setup
If CPUClock = 66MHz
Core/Bus ratio = 3.5
then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Busratio
= 66MHzx3.5
= 233MHz

2.1-3 Fan Power Connector: CPUFAN
This connector support system cooling fan with + 12V. It supports three pin
head connector. When connecting the wire to the connector, 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 your
mainboard has System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a
specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of this function.
For fans with fan speed sensor, every rotation of the fan will send out 2
pulses. System Hardware Monitor will count and report the fan rotation
speed.
Note: 1. Always consult vendor for proper CPU cooling fan.
2. CPU FAN supports the FAN control. You can install PC Alert
utility. This will automatically control the CPU FAN Speed according
to the actual CPU temperature.

Note: You can clear CMOS by shorting 2-3 pin, while the system is off.
Then, return to 1-2 pin position. Avoid clearing the CMOS while
the system is on, it will damage the mainboard. Always unplug
the power cord from the wall socket.
