IMBA-30104 ATX Motherboard Figure 4-7: Installing a DIMM Step 1: Open the DIMM socket handles. The DIMM socket has two handles that secure the DIMM into the socket. Before the DIMM can be inserted into the socket, the handles must be opened. See Figure 4-7.
OPEN a jumper means removing the plastic clip from a jumper. Before the IMBA-30104 is installed in the system, the jumpers must be set in accordance with the desired configuration. The jumpers on the IMBA-30104 are listed in Table 4-1.
Jumper Location: See Figure 4-8 If the IMBA-30104 fails to boot due to improper BIOS settings, the clear CMOS jumper clears the CMOS data and resets the system BIOS information. To do this, use the jumper cap to close pins 2 and 3 for a few seconds then reinstall the jumper clip back to pins 1 and 2.
The IMBA-30104 must be installed in a chassis with ventilation holes on the sides allowing airflow to travel through the heat sink surface. In a system with an individual power supply unit, the cooling fan of a power supply can also help generate airflow through the board surface.
