F.A.Q.

Question

Answer

Can I configure a CPU by setting jumpers in the VRM socket? (MS-5119, MS-5120) No! Do not this! In standard configuration the pins 4-5 and 6-7 are shorted in the left and right row, don`t change something there until you plug a VRM module in the socket. These jumpers are connecting the on-board 3.3 Volt VRM to the CPU. If you set any other jumpers in the VRM socket, you may damage the onboard VRM, power supply, mainboard and/or CPU.

(FAQ 2)

How to install a Pentium 200 with MMX Technology?

 Here are the steps what you should do:

Please do with your old CPU a BIOS Update to A37E ! (How to update BIOS?)
Get a 2.9V VRM module with a maximum current of 7A or more, for example from HTTP://WWW.MADEX.COM (See note!).
Set the jumpers to 66 MHz busclock, it is: JK 2-4 closed, JK 1-3 open.
166 MHz: Set the multiplicator to x2.5 as in the manual or JSF.
200 MHz: Set the multiplicator to x3: JC2 closed, JC1 open. Or set the multiplyer to 2/5 for the 166 MHz CPU: JC1 & JC2 closed.
233 MHz: Set the multiplicator to x1.5 as in the manual or JSF.
Set the JSCLK jumper to 2-3
Note the exact positions of the four jumpers inside the VRM socket. You can note that for example in the drawing of the VRM socket in the MS-5119 and MS-5120 manuals on page 16.
Remove these four jumpers of the VRM socket
Check your VRM module documentation if there are settings on the module needed. The module should be set to 2.8-2.9V. If yes move the jumpers on the VRM module according the documentation.
Insert the VRM module.
Power up your PC!
Note:
Madex has two different VRM modules, both are functioning on the MS-5119 and MS-5120:

Article number 8742 is for the linear VRM from Powerfirst Co LTD, Model VRM-Rev 1.1. Set both jumpers on it to A and insert it, that's it.
Article number 8745 is for the switching regulator VRM HOT-106 This one you must modify to use it on the MS-5119/20 : The 8745 VRM module from Madex only provides the core voltage and thinks that the mainboard automatically provides the correct IO voltage, but that is not as the VRM concept was designed. So this VRM must be modified a little bit: Open both jumpers on the VRM and short the pins A4/A5 and B4/B5 as on the following drawing, then it works:


Hint:
A Pentium 200 (P54C-200, without MMX) has the same settings as the Pentium 200 with MMX technology (P55C-200), but it does not need a VRM module.
(FAQ 3)

A software (or driver) can’t find an installed PCI card on my MS-5119, MS-5120. There are more than one PCI busmaster cards.

 This problem happens when two (or more) of these PCI cards are PCI bus masters (see the manual of the cards for this information). This is a fault in the AMI BIOS A37C and A37D, so update it to A37E. !
IDE harddisk is not detected at the onboard IDE, but harddisk is Ok. (MS-5119, MS-5120)
 There is a bad setting in the CMOS setup. Please try first to reset the CMOS to default (optimal or failsafe) and restart the system. Reenter the setup and try to detect the harddisk again. If it is still not detected, please clear the CMOS setting. See manual for how to do so (MS-5119) or the FAQ in this document (MS-5120). If this don’t work there’s also a utility called NVRAM in our BBS or Internet Homepage which clears the Plug and Play configuration of the mainboard. Please do also a BIOS update!
PS/2 mouse does not work.
 Follow the checklist:
Did you enabled the PS/2 mouse support in the ADAVNCED CMOS SETUP? If this entry is not available: (How to update BIOS?)
Did you enabled the IRQ 12 with the jumper J14 (on MS-5119/5120) near the keyboard controller?
Check your mouse adapter cable which is connected to the mainboard if it Ok. The pin description of the MSI PS/2 mouse port you can se here in this document: <PS/2 Mouse on BAT M/B: MS-5117 ++>
Another reason could be the mouse. There are different mouse types: The serial mouses, PS/2 mouses and some special Logitech PS/2 mouses like the Mouseman. Sometimes we hear that someone tries to connect a serial mouse with an adapter to the PS/2 mouse port. This configuration can not work, because the signals of a serial mouse are incompatible with the PS/2 mouse interface. With real PS/2 mouses you will not have any problems if the mainboard is well configured. Some Logitech mouses (like Mouseman) are supporting both interface/signal types serial and PS/2 mouse because they have both signal types on different pins at the serial connector. The PS/2 mouse adapter connects then only the PS/2 signals to the PS/2 connector.
