IMBA-Q454-R10 User Manual 4.2 Installation Considerations NOTE: The following installation notices and installation considerations should be read and understood before the IMBA-Q454-R10 is installed. All installation notices pertaining to the installation of IMBA-Q454-R10 should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe damage of the IMBA-Q454-R10 and injury to the person installing the motherboard. 4.2.
PAGE 64
IMBA-Q454-R10 User Manual o When working with the IMBA-Q454-R10, 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-Q454-R10 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.
PAGE 65
IMBA-Q454-R10 User Manual 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 socket is shown in Figure 4-1. 8 Figure 4-1: Intel LGA775 Socket To install a socket LGA775 CPU onto the IMBA-Q454-R10, follow the steps below: WARNING: When handling the CPU, only hold it on the sides.
PAGE 66
IMBA-Q454-R10 User Manual 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 4-3. 8 Figure 4-3: 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.
PAGE 67
IMBA-Q454-R10 User Manual Step 5: Correctly position the CPU. Match the Pin 1 mark with the cut edge on the 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. See Figure 4-4.
