PCIE-Q870-i2 PICMG 1.3 CPU Card 4.1 Anti-static Precautions WARNING: Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the PCIE-Q870-i2 may result in permanent damage to the PCIE-Q870-i2 and severe injury to the user. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the PCIE-Q870-i2. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD.
PAGE 64
PCIE-Q870-i2 PICMG 1.3 CPU Card 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 PCIE-Q870-i2 installation instructions and configuration options. Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD): o Electronic components are easily damaged by ESD.
PAGE 65
PCIE-Q870-i2 PICMG 1.3 CPU Card 4.2.1 Socket LGA1150 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.
PAGE 66
PCIE-Q870-i2 PICMG 1.3 CPU Card Figure 4-2: Remove 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. WARNING: DO NOT touch the pins at the bottom of the CPU. When handling the CPU, only hold it on the sides. Step 5: Correctly position the CPU.
PAGE 67
PCIE-Q870-i2 PICMG 1.3 CPU Card 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 4-3. Figure 4-3: Insert the Socket LGA1150 CPU Step 8: Close the CPU socket. Close the load plate and pull the load lever back a little to have the load plate be able to secure to the knob. Engage the load lever by pushing it back to its original position (Figure 4-4).
PAGE 68
PCIE-Q870-i2 PICMG 1.3 CPU Card Step 9: 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 LGA1150 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.
