msi ms-7309
Technical Specifications
Technical Summary
The MSI MS-7309 is an AMD AM2 Socket940 motherboard based on the nVIDIA MCP61-P/S/V chipset, integrating graphics through the MCP61 northbridge. The board features a Fintek 889 Super I/O for EC/KBC functions and an ALC888S Azalia 8-channel audio codec. BIOS storage is provided by an 8MB SPI flash ROM. Power management includes an ISL6323CR 3+1 phase PWM controller for Vcore and a uP6103 DDR power regulator. Memory architecture supports dual-channel DDRII 400/533/667/800MHz across two DIMM slots. Networking options include Realtek RT8201CL (10/100) or Realtek RT8211CL/RT8211B (Gigabit) PHY. Expansion is handled via one PCI Express x16 slot, one PCI Express x1 slot, two PCI slots, and four SATA-II ports. IEEE 1394 connectivity is provided by a VIA VT6315N controller.
Technician FAQ
Q: What is the BIOS flash configuration on this motherboard?
A: The motherboard uses an 8MB SPI flash ROM, accessible via an SPI pin header for programming.
Q: What EC/KBC controller is used?
A: The Fintek 889 Super I/O provides keyboard, mouse, fan control, serial, LPT, and floppy support.
Q: What is the power delivery architecture?
A: Vcore is regulated by an ISL6323CR 3+1 phase PWM controller, with DDR power managed by a uP6103 regulator.
Q: What LAN PHY options are available?
A: The board supports either a Realtek RT8201CL (10/100) or Realtek RT8211CL/RT8211B (Gigabit) Ethernet PHY.
