4.1.1 Anti-static Precautions Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the POS-6614 motherboard. (Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD.) It is therefore critical that whenever the POS-6614 motherboard (or any other electrical component) is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
4.2.1 Unpacking Precautions Some components on POS-6614 motherboard are very sensitive to static electricity and can be damaged by a sudden rush of power. To protect the POS-6614 motherboard from being damaged, by ESD follow these precautions: Any person handling the POS-6614 motherboard should be grounded. This removes static charge before the POS-6614 motherboard is touched.
POS-6614 Motherboard Handle the POS-6614 motherboard by its edges. Do not touch the IC chips, leads or circuitry unnecessarily. Do not place the PCB on top of the anti-static bag. Only the inside of the bag is safe from static discharge.
Page 91
POS-6614 Motherboard WARNING: Please note that the installation instructions described in this manual should be carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the POS-6614 motherboard components and injury to the user. WARNING: When installing electronic components onto the POS-6614 motherboard...
Make sure the CPU is installed properly and ensure that a heat sink and CPU cooling fan are properly installed before the POS-6614 motherboard is run. If a heat sink and cooling fan are not properly installed both the CPU and the board may be damaged.
When handling the CPU, only hold it on the sides. DO NOT touch the pins at the bottom of the CPU. To install a socket LGA775 CPU onto the POS-6614 motherboard, follow the steps below: Step 1: Remove the protective cover. Remove the black protective cover by prying it off the load plate.
POS-6614 Motherboard Figure 4-3: Open the CPU Socket Load Plate Step 3: Inspect the CPU socket Make sure there are no bent pins and make sure the socket contacts are free of foreign materials. If any debris is found, remove it with compressed air.
WARNING: It is strongly recommended that you DO NOT use the original heat sink and cooler provided by Intel on the POS-6614 motherboard. The POS-6614 motherboard is vertically mounted on a horizontal backplane and Intel’s heat sink does not come with a support bracket on the soldering side, so the PCB may be bent by the weight of the cooling kit.
POS-6614 Motherboard CF-520-RS Figure 4-5: IEI LGA-775 Cooling Kit The IEI LGA775 CPU cooling kit shown in Figure 4-5 comprises a CPU heat sink and a cooling fan. NOTE: Do not wipe off (accidentally or otherwise) the pre-sprayed layer of thermal paste on the bottom of the CF-520 heat sink.
Step 6: Connect the fan cable. Connect the cooling kit fan cable to the fan connector on the POS-6614 motherboard. Carefully route the cable and avoid heat generating chips and fan blades.Step 0: 4.4.3 DIMM Module Installation...
POS-6614 Motherboard 4.4.3.2 DIMM Module Installation The POS-6614 motherboard has two DDR SDRAM DIMM sockets. Follow the steps below to install the DIMM modules. Step 1: Make sure the two handles of the DIMM socket are in the "open" position, leaning outward (Figure 4-7).
