IMB-9454G-R40 4.1 Anti-static Precautions Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the IMB-9454G. (Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD.) It is therefore critical that whenever the IMB-9454G (or any other electrical component) is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
IMB-9454G-R40 When installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an antistatic pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage. Turn off all power to the IMB-9454G When working with the motherboard, make sure that it is disconnected from all power supplies and that no electricity is being fed into the system.
4.4 IMB-9454G motherboard Installation WARNING! 1. Never run the motherboard without an appropriate heat sink and cooler that can be ordered from IEI Technology or purchased separately. 2. Be sure to use the CPU 12V power connector for the CPU power. WARNING!
IMB-9454G-R40 and injury to the user. WARNING! When installing electronic components onto the motherboard always take the following anti-static precautions in order to prevent ESD damage to the motherboard and other electronic components like the CPU and DIMM modules The following components must be installed onto the motherboard or connected to the motherboard during the installation process.
IMB-9454G-R40 properly installed before the IMB-9454G is run. If a heat sink and cooling fan are not properly installed both the CPU and the board may be damaged. The LGA775 socket is shown in Figure 4-1. Figure 4-1: Intel LGA775 Socket WARNING: When handling the CPU, only hold it on the sides.
IMB-9454G-R40 Figure 4-2: 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. Then rotate the load plate towards the opposite direction. (See Figure...
IMB-9454G-R40 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.
IMB-9454G-R40 The IMB-9454G is vertically mounted on a horizontal backplane, and Intel’s heat sink does not come with a support bracket on the soldering side, the PCB may be bent by the weight of the cooling kit. IEI’s cooling kit (CF-520) includes 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.
IMB-9454G-R40 pass through the pre-drilled holes on the PCB. Step 3: Mount the cooling kit. Gently place the cooling kit on top of the CPU. Make sure the four threaded screws on the corners of the cooling kit properly pass through the predrilled holes on the bottom of the PCB.
IMB-9454G-R40 4.5.3 DIMM Module Installation 4.5.3.1 Purchasing the Memory Module WARNING! When purchasing the DIMM modules, make sure the modules are compatible with the DIMM slot specified in Section 2.5 Memory Support. WARNING! The board supports DDR2 DIMM modules only. DDR1 and DDR2 are not compatible.
IMB-9454G-R40 Figure 4-7: Installing the DIMM Module Step 2: Slowly slide the DIMM module along the plastic guides on both ends of the socket. Press the DIMM module down into the socket until it clicks into position and the two handles have automatically locked the memory module into place (Figure 4-8).
