MS-6330 ver: 2.1

**tobevers** · June 13th, 2004, 04:28 PM

I'm looking for a manual on a Microstar mobo. Its a MS-6330 ver: 2.1 board. I can't find anything on this bugger. It's a Gateway OEM and and I don't know which Gateway machine it comes out of. The part number on the board is MS-6630-BO and the ref. # is 4000807.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Well, if you look on this page there are manuals for the MS-6330 Lite and MS-6330 LE3. Don't know if it is close enough for your purposes. There's also a manual for the 1.0B here.

Nope, I've already found those. The boards are a little different. I appreciate the effort, though.

Came across one of these last year, and couldnt find any info. Seem to remember having trouble getting it to recognize any extra IDE device .
Gave up searching in the end, but did get it working.
Its not the same as the standard MSI board as you suspect.

If the gateway part number listed on the board is Part #: MS-6330-BO either v1 or v2, then my books show it as a MSI K7T Turbo oem. try here:

Hi, I'm new to the forum and was also having trouble finding info on this board. Then all of a sudden I stumbled onto it quite by accident. Computergeeks.com is having a sale on this mobo right now (which I believe was only manufactured for Gateway), and they have links to Gateway's support site for the product. It isn't a manual, but it had all the information I needed to get my board up and running. Hope this helps.

Hello.

Helpfull thread. I just received my order from a pricewatch company: brand-new 6330 Rev 2.1 MSI M7T 133...blah blah.

I've just had one problem: can't get into the BIOS settings. Is this even available to do?

I realize I can't OC with this dern board (SUX) but I'm just hoping to take a peek. I've tried holding down DEL and CONT-ALT-DEL at boot-up , but it just goes directly to my HD/CDROM.

Thanks for any help.
Greazy

Try f2 greazy and welcome to Windrivers.

**greazy** · July 20th, 2004, 02:31 PM

My next step was to do a broad attack on the keyboard. Thanks. I'll try it when I get back from work. You probably saved me a ton of time trying combos like CONT-ALT-B-I-O-S-P-L-E-A-S-E

and thanks for the welcome.

**bigfist** · July 27th, 2004, 08:50 AM

[the f1 key will get you into the bios on that board

**greazy** · July 27th, 2004, 09:30 AM

thanks big. I've found out that it is indeed F1.
Once I got in, I was able to remove the quick-load, and have it go through the process of checking the memory, identifying IDE items, etc. OH, and it shows 'press F1 to enter setup' in the beginning. Nice.

**tobevers** · July 27th, 2004, 11:09 AM

thanks, everyone, for all the help on this

Mr. Duke, I have one of these boards now myself and I can't figure out how to get the power switch to connect to the board. How did you get yours to work? THANK YOU!
