Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the IMBA-9454ISA. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the IMBA-9454ISA, or any other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
IMBA-9454ISA is installed. All installation notices pertaining to the installation of the IMBA-9454ISA should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe damage of the IMBA-9454ISA and injury to the person installing the motherboard. 5.2.1 Installation Notices...
Allow screws to come in contact with the PCB circuit, connector pins, or its components. 5.2.2 Installation Checklist The following checklist is provided to ensure the IMBA-9454ISA is properly installed. All the items in the packing list are present The CPU is installed...
When the IMBA-9454ISA is unpacked, please do the following: Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 5.1. Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the IMBA-9454ISA does not fall out of the box. Make sure all the components in the checklist shown in Chapter 3 are present.
Running a CPU without a cooling kit may also result in injury to the user. The CPU, CPU cooling kit and DIMM are the most critical components of the IMBA-9454ISA. If one of these components is not installed the IMBA-9454ISA cannot run. 5.4.1 LGA775 CPU Installation NOTE:...
The LGA775 socket is shown in Figure 5-1. Figure 5-1: Intel LGA775 Socket To install a socket LGA775 CPU onto the IMBA-9454ISA, follow the steps below: WARNING: When handling the CPU, only hold it on the sides. DO NOT touch the pins at the bottom of the CPU.
IMBA-9454ISA ATX Motherboard Figure 5-2: Remove the CPU Socket Protective Shield Step 2: Open the socket. Disengage the load lever by pressing the lever down and slightly outward to clear the retention tab. Rotate the load lever to a fully open position.
IMBA-9454ISA ATX Motherboard CPU socket. Step 6: Align the CPU pins. Locate pin 1 and the two orientation notches on the CPU. Carefully match the two orientation notches on the CPU with the socket alignment keys. Step 7: Insert the CPU. Gently insert the CPU into the socket. If the CPU pins are properly aligned, the CPU should slide into the CPU socket smoothly.
WARNING: It is strongly recommended that you DO NOT use the original heat sink and cooler provided by Intel on the IMBA-9454ISA. IEI’s cooling kits include a support bracket that is combined with the heat sink mounted on the CPU to counterweigh and balance the load on both sides of the PCB.
Page 117
IMBA-9454ISA ATX Motherboard WARNING: Do not wipe off (accidentally or otherwise) the pre-sprayed layer of thermal paste on the bottom of the [Fan model#] heat sink. The thermal paste between the CPU and the heat sink is important for optimum heat dissipation.
Step 6: Connect the fan cable. Connect the cooling kit fan cable to the fan connector on the IMBA-9454ISA. Carefully route the cable and avoid heat generating chips and fan blades.Step 0: 5.4.3 DIMM Installation...
IMBA-9454ISA ATX Motherboard To install a DIMM into a DIMM socket, please follow the steps below and refer to Figure 5-8. Figure 5-8: Installing a DIMM Step 1: Open the DIMM socket handles. The DIMM socket has two handles that secure the DIMM into the socket.
The IMBA-9454ISA can support both CF Type I cards and CF Type II cards. For the complete specifications of the supported CF cards please refer to Chapter 2. To install the a CF card (Type 1 or Type 2) onto the IMBA-9454ISA, please follow the steps below: Step 1: Locate the CF card socket.
IMBA-9454ISA ATX Motherboard Figure 5-9: CF Card Installation 5.5 Jumper Settings NOTE: A jumper is a metal bridge that is used to close an electrical circuit. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them.
IMBA-9454ISA ATX Motherboard Before the IMBA-9454ISA is installed in the system, the jumpers must be set in accordance with the desired configuration. The jumpers on the IMBA-9454ISA are listed in Table 5-1. Description Label Type AT/ATX power select 3-pin header...

Jumper Location: See Figure 5-12 If the IMBA-9454ISA 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.

IMBA-9454ISA ATX Motherboard CAUTION! Do not accidentally disconnect the SATA drive cables. Carefully route the cables within the chassis to avoid system down time. G.2 Features and Benefits Supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5 and 10 Supports connectivity to two or more disk drives...
IMBA-9454ISA ATX Motherboard Step 3: Save and Exit BIOS. After the SATA support option is enabled, save and exit the BIOS. Step 4: Reboot the system. Reboot the system after saving and exiting the BIOS. Step 5: Press Ctrl+I. During the system boot process, press Ctrl+I when prompted to enter the RAID configuration software.
