  • Page 85: Unpacking

    Before you install the WSB-9454 CPU card, you must unpack the CPU card. Some components on WSB-9454 are very sensitive to static electricity and can be damaged by a sudden rush of power. To protect it from being damage, follow these precautions:...
  • Page 86: Checklist

    You can do so by wearing a grounded wrist strap at all times or by frequently touching any conducting materials that is connected to the ground. Handle your WSB-9454 by its edges. Do not touch the IC chips, leads or circuitry if not necessary.
  • Page 87: Wsb-9454 Cpu Card Installation

    4.4 WSB-9454 CPU Card Installation WARNING: Never run the CPU card without an appropriate heatsink and cooler that can be ordered from IEI Technology or purchased separately. Be sure to use the CPU 12V power connector (CPU12V1) for the CPU power.
  • Page 88: Socket Lga775 Cpu Installation

    Make sure the CPU is installed properly and ensure that a heat sink and CPU cooling fan are properly installed before the WSB-9454 is run. If a heat sink and cooling fan are not properly installed both the CPU and the board may be damaged.
  • Page 89: Figure 4-1: Intel ® Lga775 Socket

    When handling the CPU, only hold it on the sides. DO NOT touch the pins at the bottom of the CPU. To install Socket LGA775 CPU onto the WSB-9454, follow the steps below: Step 1: Remove the protective cover. Remove the black protective cover by prying it off the load plate.

    It is strongly recommended that you DO NOT use the original heat sink and cooler provided by Intel on the WSB-9454. The WSB-9454 is vertically mounted on a horizontal backplane. 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.
  • Page 93 WSB-9454 CPU Card NOTE: Do not wipe off (accidentally or otherwise) the pre-sprayed layer of thermal paste on the bottom of the heat sink. The thermal paste between the CPU and the heat sink is important for optimum heat dissipation.
