IMBA-9454 Motherboard 5.1 Anti-static Precautions WARNING: Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the IMBA-9454 may result in permanent damage to the IMBA-9454 and severe injury to the user. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the IMBA-9454. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD.
IMBA-9454 Motherboard 5.2 Installation Considerations NOTE: The following installation notices and installation considerations should be read and understood before the IMBA-9454 is installed. All installation notices pertaining to the installation of the IMBA-9454 should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe damage of the IMBA-9454 and injury to the person installing the motherboard. 5.2.
IMBA-9454 Motherboard o When working with the IMBA-9454, make sure that it is disconnected from all power supplies and that no electricity is being fed into the system. Before and during the installation of the IMBA-9454 DO NOT: Remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers are required for warranty validation. Use the product before verifying all the cables and power connectors are properly connected. Allow screws to come in contact with the PCB circuit, connector pins, or its components.
IMBA-9454 Motherboard o o o o o o VGA screen Keyboard Mouse USB devices LAN Audio jacks 5.3 CPU, CPU Cooling Kit and DIMM Installation WARNING: A CPU should never be turned on without the specified cooling kit being installed. If the cooling kit (heat sink and fan) is not properly installed and the system turned on, permanent damage to the CPU and other electronic components attached to the system may be incurred. Running a CPU without a cooling kit may also result in injury to the user.
IMBA-9454 Motherboard 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. The LGA775 is shown in Figure 5-1. Figure 5-1: Intel LGA775 To install a LGA775 CPU onto the IMBA-9454, 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-9454 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. Then rotate the load plate towards the opposite direction. See Figure 5-3. Figure 5-3: 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 material.
IMBA-9454 Motherboard Step 4: Orientate the CPU properly. Make sure the IHS (Integrated Heat Sink) side is facing upward. Step 5: Correctly position the CPU.
