TheMS-6188FlexATXWH11mainboardisahigh-performance
computer mainboard based on Intel®810 chipset. The MS-6188 is designed
for the Intel®CeleronTM/ Coppermine (PPGA) 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-
ics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH), the I/O Controller Hub (ICH) and
theFirmwareHub(FWH). TheGMCHintegratesa 66/100MHz,P6family
system bus controller, integrates 2D/3D graphics accelerator, 100MHz
SDRAM controller and high-speed hub interface for communication with the
ICH. The ICH integrates an Ultra ATA66(ICH) controller, USB host control-
ler,LPCinterfacecontroller,FWHintefaceconroller,PCIinterfacecontroller,
AC’97 digital controller and a hub interface for communication with the
GMCH.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
2.1 Central Processing Unit: CPU
Themainboard operates with Intel®Coppermine(FC-PGA)orCeleronTM
processor. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket 370 for easy
CPU installation. The CPU should always have a Heat Sink and a cooling
fan attached to prevent overheating.
3. Press the lever down to
complete the installation.
2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket
and look for the white dot or
cut edge in the CPU. Match
Pin 1 with the white dot/cut
edge. Then, insert the CPU.
It should insert easily.

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.
