ESD Precautions
Computer boards have integrated circuits sensitive to static electricity.
To prevent chipsets from electrostatic discharge damage, plea se take
care of the following jobs with precautions:
Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static
packaging until you are ready to install them.
Before holding the board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted
portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. It
discharges static electricity from your body.
Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic
component stores, when handling boards and components.

3.1 Installing the Processor
NOTE
Before installing the CPU, make sure to turn off the
computer and unplug the power cord from the power
outlet to prevent damage to the CPU.

Introduction to LGA1156 CPU socket
Locate the alignment keys on the motherboard CPU socket.
Page 42
IMB205 LGA775 ATX Motherboard User’s Manual
Hardware Installation
35
Locate the LGA1156 CPU socket on the motherboard.
Follow the steps below to correctly install the CPU into the motherboard
CPU socket.
1. Press the load lever of LGA1156 CPU socket with your thumb and
then move it sideways until it is released from the retention tab,
then lift the load lever up.
Page 43

2. Lift the load lever in the direction of the arrow until load plate is
completely lifted.
3. Remove the protective cap from the CPU socket. The cap is used
to protect the CPU socket against dust and harmful particles.
Remove the protective cap only when you are about to install the
CPU.
Protective cap →

4. Be careful not touch pin-pad of CPU and pin of CPU socket.
5. Insert the CPU into the CPU socket. The yellow triangular mark on
the CPU must align with the bottom left corner of the CP U socke t .
Note that the alignment keys are matched. Visually inspect if the
CPU is seated well into the socket. If not, take out the CPU with
pure vertical motion and reinstall.
NOTE
The CPU fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the
CPU into the socket to prevent bending the connect ors on the
socket and damaging the CPU!

6. Close the load plate, and then push down the load lever, ensuring
that the front edge of the load plate slides under the shoulder
screw(1), insert the load lever under the retention tab(2).
3.1.1 Installing the heatsink and fan
NOTE
When you buy a boxed Intel
®
processor, the package
includes the CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If you
purchased a separate CPU, ensure that you only use
Intel
®
-certified heatsink and fan.

1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, ensuring that the
four fasteners match the holds on the motherboard.
2. Push down two fasteners at a time in a diagonal sequence to
secure the heatsink and fan assembly in place.

3. Make sure the CPU fan cable is plugged to the CPU fan connector
(CN26) on the motherboard.
3.1.2 Uninstalling the heatsink and fan
Disconnect the CPU fan cable from the CPU fan connector
(CN26) on the motherboard then rotate each fastene r
counterclockwise.

3.2 Installing the Memory
The board supports four 240-pin DDR3 DIMM memory
sockets with maximum memory capacity up to 16GB.
NOTE
A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a
DDR2 DIMM but is notched differently to prevent installation
on a DDR2 DIMM socket.
Please follow steps below to install the memory modules:
1 Push down latches on each side of the DIMM socket.
2 Align the memory module with the socket that notches of
memory module must match the socket keys for a correct
installation.
3 Install the memory module into the socket and push it firmly
down until it is fully seated. The socket latches are levered
upwards and clipped on to the edges of the DIMM.
4 Install any remaining DIMM modules.

3.2 .1 Daul Channel Memory Configurtion
This motherboard provides four DDR3 memory sockets and
support Daul Channel Technology. After the memory is
installed, the BIOS will automatically detect th e
specifications and capacity of the memory enabling Dual
Channel memory sockets are divided into two channels a nd
each channel has two memory sockets as following:
◆Channel 0 : DIMM1, DIMM3
◆Channel 1 : DIMM2, DIMM4
Page 51
IMB205 LGA1156 ATX Motherboard User’s Manual
Hardware Installation
44
Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing
the memory in Dual Channel mode.
1. Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR3 memory
module is installed.
2. When enabling Dual Channel mode with two or four memory
modules, it is recommended that memory of the same capacity,
brand, speed, and chips are used for optimum performance. When
enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory modules, be sure to
install them in DIMM1 and DIMM3 sockets.

APPENDIX C
CONFIGURING SATA FOR RAID
FUNCTION
Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s) for RAID Function
Please follow up the steps below to configure SATA hard drive(s):
(1) Install SATA hard drive(s) in your system.
(2) Enter the BIOS Setup to configure SATA controller mode and boot
sequence.
(3) Configure RAID by the RAID BIOS.
(4) Install the SATA controller driver during the OS installation.
Before you begin the SATA configuration, please prepare:
(a) Two SATA hard drives (to ensure optimal performance, it is
recommended that you use two hard drives with identical model
and capacity). If you do not want to create RAID with the SATA
controller, you may prepare only one hard drive.
(b) An empty formatted floppy disk
(c) Windows XP setup disk
(1) Installing SATA hard drive(s) in your system
Connect one end of the SATA signal cable to the rear of the SATA
hard drive, and the other end to available SATA port(s) on the
board. Then, connect the power connector of power supply to the
hard drive.
(2) Configuring SATA controller mode and boot sequence by the
BIOS Setup
You have to make sure whether the SATA controller is configured
correctly by system BIOS Setup and set up BIOS boot sequence for
the SATA hard drive(s).
