Obtain authorization from the dealer before returning any product to ADLINK. IMB-M43 ATX industrial motherboard I/O shield The IMB-M43 must be protected from static dis- charge and physical shock. Never remove any of the socketed parts except at a static-free work- WARNING: station.
Avoid over-tightening screws to prevent PCB damage. CAUTION: 2.3 Installing Memory Modules (DIMM) The IMB-M43 provides four 288-pin DDR4 DIMM slots supporting Dual Channel Memory technology. Dual channel configuration requires installation of DDR4 DIMM pairs of identical brand, speed, size, and chip type.

IMB-M43 2. Press the slot’s retaining clips outward to unlock. 3. Align the memory module on the socket, making sure that the module notch matches the slot rail. 4. Insert the module firmly into the slot until the retaining clips snap back inwards and the module is securely seated.
2.4 Installing Expansion Cards (PCI and PCI Express) The IMB-M43 provides: 2x PCI slots receiving expansion cards with 32-bit PCI inter- face. If PEG3 is occupied, PEG1 is PCIex8 Gen3, PEG2 is PCIex4 Gen3, and PEG3 is PCIex4 Gen3. If PEG3 is not occupied and PEG2 is occupied, PEG1 is PCIex8 Gen3, PEG2 is PCIex8 Gen3, and PEG3 is no sig- nal.
IMB-M43 Before installing expansion cards, ensure the power supply is switched off or disconnected. Check the card's documentation and perform requisite system configurations before installation. 1. Remove the system unit cover (if the motherboard is installed in a chassis). 2. Remove the bracket facing the destination slot.
