2 Getting Started

2.1 Package Contents

Before unpacking, check the shipping carton for an y damage. If
the shipping carton and/or contents are damaged, inform your
dealer immediately. Retain the shipping carton and packing
materials for inspection. Obtain authorization from the dealer
before returning any product to ADLINK.

X IMB-M42H ATX industrial motherboard
X I/O shield

X The IMB-M42H must be protected from static

discharge and physical shock. Never remove

WARNING:

any of the socketed parts except at a static-free
workstation.

X Ensure the power supply is disconnected before

installing or removing the motherboard to avoid
physical injury and device damage

X To avoid damage from static electricity,

never place the motherboard directly on
carpet or similar surfaces

X Wear a grounded wrist strap when handling

components

X Hold components by the edges and do not

touch ICs

X Place uninstalled components on a

grounded antistatic pad or the an tistatic bag
shipped with the component

IMB-M42H

Getting Started 9

2.2 Mounting the motherboard

Mount the motherboard to the chassis with screws through the
provided screw holes.

Avoid over-tightening screws to prevent PCB damage.

CAUTION:

2.3 Installing Memory Modules (DIMM)

The IMB-M42H provides two 240-pin DDR3 DIMM slots
supporting Dual Channel Memory technology.

X Dual channel configuration requires installation

of DDR3 DIMM pairs of identical brand, speed,

NOTE:

NOTE:

CAUTION:

size, and chip type.

X Dual Channel Memory technology is disabled

when only one memory module is installed.

X DDR or DDR2 memory modules cannot be

installed in a DDR3 slot; motherboard and DIMM
damage may result.

X Permanent damage to the motherboard and

DIMM will result if the DIMM is forced into the
slot in an incorrect orientation.

To install a memory module:

1. Locate the DIMM slots on the motherboard.

2. Press the slot’s retaining clips outward to unlock.

10 Getting Started

IMB-M42H

3. Align the memory module on the socket, making sure
that the module notch matches the slot rail.

4. Insert the module firmly into the slot until the retaining
clips snap back inwards and the module is securely
seated.

Getting Started 11

2.4 Installing Expansion Cards (PCI and PCI Express)

The IMB-M42H provides:

X 4x PCI slots receiving expansion cards with 32-bit PCI inter-

face

X 2x PCIE (PCI Express) slots, PCIE1 (PCIE x16 slot; blue)

for PCI Express x16 lane width graphics cards, and PCIE3
(PCIE x4 slot; white) for PCI Express x4 lane width I/O
cards

Before installing expansion cards, ensure the power supply is
switched off or disconnected. Check the card's documentation and
perform requisite system configurations before installation.

1. Remove the system unit cover (if the motherboard is
installed in a chassis).

2. Remove the bracket facing the destination slot.

3. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly
until the card is securely seated.

4. Fix the card to the chassis with screws.

5. Replace the system cover.

2.5 Jumpers

Clear CMOS (CLCMOS)

The CMOS RAM data contains the Date/Time and BIO S setting
information. CMOS is powered by an onboard button ce ll battery.
To erase the CMOS RAM data:

1. Power down and disconnect power from the system.

2. Short pins 2-3 on JP1.

3. Reconnect power and power up the system.

4. After power up, remove the jumper cap from pins 2-3

and reinstall it to pins 1-2.

Appendix A - UEFI Setup Utility

A.1 Introduction

This section explains how to use the UEFI Setup Utility to config­ure your system. The UEFI chip on the motherboard stores the
UEFI Setup Utility. You may run the UEFI Setup Utility when you
start up the computer. Select <F2> or <Del> during the
Power-On-Self-Test (POST) to enter the UEFI Setup Utility, other­wise, POST will continue with its test routines.

To enter the UEFI Setup Utility after POST, restart the system by
pressing <Ctl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by pressing the reset button
on the system chassis. You may also restart by turning the system
off and then back on.

Because the UEFI software is frequently updated, the setup
screens and descriptions provided are for reference only, and
