  • Page 62: Anti-Static Precautions

    Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the IMB-Q670. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the IMB-Q670 or any other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
  • Page 63 This helps to prevent potential ESD damage. Turn all power to the IMB-Q670 off: When working with the IMB-Q670, make sure that it is disconnected from all power supplies and that no electricity is being fed into the system.

  • Page 64: Socket Lga1155 Cpu Installation

    IMB-Q670 Micro-ATX Motherboard 4.2.1 Socket LGA1155 CPU Installation NOTE: To enable Hyper-Threading, the CPU and chipset must both support it. WARNING: CPUs are expensive and sensitive components. When installing the CPU please be careful not to damage it in anyway. Make sure the CPU is installed properly and ensure the correct cooling kit is properly installed.

  • Page 65: Figure 4-2: Remove Protective Cover

    IMB-Q670 Micro-ATX Motherboard Step 1: Remove the protective cover. The black protective cover can be removed by pulling up on the tab labeled "Remove". See Figure 4-2. Figure 4-2: Remove Protective Cover Step 2: Open the socket. Disengage the load lever by pressing the lever down and slightly outward to clear the retention tab.

  • Page 66: Figure 4-4: Insert The Socket Lga1155 Cpu

    IMB-Q670 Micro-ATX Motherboard Step 4: Orientate the CPU properly. The contact array should be facing the CPU socket. Step 5: Correctly position the CPU. Match the Pin 1 mark with the cut edge on the CPU socket. Step 6: Align the CPU pins. Locate pin 1 and the two orientation notches on the CPU.

  • Page 67: Socket Lga1155 Cooling Kit Installation

    ONLY compatible with captive screw type cooling fans. Figure 4-5: Cooling Kits (CF-1156A-RS and CF-1156B-RS) The cooling kit can be bought from IEI. The cooling kit has a heatsink and fan. WARNING: Do not wipe off (accidentally or otherwise) the pre-sprayed layer of thermal paste on the bottom of the heat sink.

  • Page 68: Dimm Installation

    Secure the cooling kit by fastening the four retention screws of the cooling kit. Step 5: Connect the fan cable. Connect the cooling kit fan cable to the fan connector on the IMB-Q670. Carefully route the cable and avoid heat generating chips and blades.Step 0: 4.2.3 DIMM Installation To install a DIMM, please follow the steps below and refer to Figure 4-6.
