Chapter 2: Installation

This is a Mini-ITX form factor (6.7" x 6.7", 17.0 x 17.0 cm) motherboard. Before you

install the motherboard, study the conguration of your chassis to ensure that the

motherboard ts into it.

motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and

damages to motherboard components.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the

2.1 Screw Holes

Place screws into the holes to secure the motherboard to the chassis.

Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

2.2 Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components

or change any motherboard settings.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.

2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity,

NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also

remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object

before you handle components.

3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or

in the bag that comes with the component.

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power is

switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply.

Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals,

and/or components.

Page 12

2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (SO-DIMM)

IMB-130 motherboard provides two 204-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) SO-DIMM

slots.

1. It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into a

DDR3 slot; otherwise, this motherboard and SO-DIMM may be

damaged.

2. Please install the memory module from DDR3_A2 slot for the rst

priority.

Installing a SO-DIMM

Please make sure to disconnect the power supply before adding or

removing SO-DIMMs or the system components.

Step 1. Unlock a SO-DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.

Step 2. Align a SO-DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the SO-DIMM

matches the break on the slot.

notch

brea k

notch

The SO-DIMM only ts in one correct orientation. It will cause perma-

nent damage to the motherboard and the SO-DIMM if you force the SO-

DIMM into the slot in the incorrect orientation.

brea k

Step 3. Firmly insert the SO-DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both

ends fully snap back in place and the SO-DIMM is properly seated.

Page 13

2.4 Expansion Slots (PCI and mini-PCIE Slots)

There is 1 PCI slot and 1 mini-PCIE slot on this motherboard.

PCI slot: The PCI slot is used to install an expansion card that has 32-bit PCI

interface.

The mini-PCIE slot is used for PCI Express mini cards.

Installing an expansion card

Step 1. Before installing the expansion card, please make sure that the power

supply is switched off or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the

documentation of the expansion card and make necessary hardware

settings for the card before you start the installation.

Step 2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed

in a chassis).

Step 3. Remove the bracket facing the slot that you intend to use. Keep the

screws for later use.

Step 4. Align the card connector with the slot and press rmly until the card is

completely seated on the slot.

Step 5. Fasten the card to the chassis with screws.

Step 6. Replace the system cover.

2.5 Jumpers Setup

The i llu strat ion shows how ju mpers are

setup. When the jumper cap is placed on

pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap

is placed on pins, the jumper is “Open”. The

illustra ti on shows a 3-p in jumper whose

pin1 and pin2 are “Short” when jumper cap

is placed on these 2 pins.

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLRCMOS1)

(see p.8, No. 17)

Note: CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the

system parameters to default setup, please turn off the computer and unplug

the power cord from the power supply. After waiting for 15 seconds, use a

jumper cap to short pin2 and pin3 on CLRCMOS1 for 5 seconds. However,

please do not clear the CMOS right after you update the BIOS. If you need

to clear the CMOS when you just nish updating the BIOS, you must boot up

the system rst, and then shut it down before you do the clear-CMOS action.

Please be noted that the password, date, time, user default prole and MAC

address will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is removed.
