IMBA-C604EP ATX Server Board 4.1 Anti-static Precautions WARNING: Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the IMBA-C604EP may result in permanent damage to the IMBA-C604EP and severe injury to the user. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the IMBA-C604EP. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD.
PAGE 63
IMBA-C604EP ATX Server Board WARNING: The installation instructions described in this manual should be carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the components and injury to the user. Before and during the installation please DO the following: Read the user manual: o The user manual provides a complete description of the IMBA-C604EP installation instructions and configuration options. Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD): o Electronic components are easily damaged by ESD.
PAGE 64
IMBA-C604EP ATX Server Board 4.2.1 Socket LGA2011 CPU Installation 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. DO NOT touch the pins at the bottom of the CPU. When handling the CPU, only hold it on the sides. To install the CPU, follow the steps below. Step 1: Disengage the load levers.
PAGE 65
IMBA-C604EP ATX Server Board protective cover can be removed by pulling up on the tab labeled "REMOVE". See Figure 4-2. Figure 4-2: Remove the Protective Cover Step 3: Inspect the CPU socket. Make sure there are no bent pins and make sure the socket contacts are free of foreign material. If any debris is found, remove it with compressed air. Step 4: Orientate the CPU properly. The contact array should be facing the CPU socket. Step 5: Align the CPU pins.
PAGE 66
IMBA-C604EP ATX Server Board Figure 4-3: Insert the Socket LGA2011 CPU Step 7: Close the CPU socket. Close the load plate and secure the load levers in the order as shown in Figure 4-4. Engage the load lever by pushing it back to its original position. There will be some resistance, but will not require extreme pressure.
PAGE 67
IMBA-C604EP ATX Server Board Step 8: Connect the 12 V power to the board. Connect the 12 V power from the power supply to the board. Step 0: 4.2.2 Socket LGA2011 Cooling Kit Installation WARNING: DO NOT attempt to install a push-pin cooling fan. The pre-installed support bracket prevents the board from bending and is ONLY compatible with captive screw type cooling fans. The cooling kit can be bought from IEI. The cooling kit has a heat sink and fan.
PAGE 68
IMBA-C604EP ATX Server Board Figure 4-5: Cooling Kit Support Bracket Step 2: Place the cooling kit onto the socket LGA2011 CPU. Make sure the CPU cable can be properly routed when the cooling kit is installed. 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 holes of the cooling kit bracket. Step 4: Secure the cooling kit by fastening the four retention screws of the cooling kit.

IMBA-C604EP ATX Server Board NOTE: Installing the memory modules with the same memory size is highly recommended. To install a DIMM, please follow the steps below and refer to Figure 4-6. Figure 4-6: DIMM Installation Step 1: Open the DIMM socket handles. Open the two handles outwards as far as they can. See Figure 4-6. Step 2: Align the DIMM with the socket. Align the DIMM so the notch on the memory lines up with the notch on the memory socket. See Figure 4-6. Step 3: Insert the DIMM.

IMBA-C604EP ATX Server Board 4.3 Jumper Settings NOTE: A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an electrical circuit. It consists of two or three metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To CLOSE/SHORT a jumper means connecting the pins of the jumper with the plastic clip and to OPEN a jumper means removing the plastic clip from a jumper. The hardware jumpers must be set before installation. Jumpers are shown in Table 4-1.
