2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING!
Static electricity can destroy certain electronics. Make sure to follow the
ESD precautions to prevent damage to the product, and injury to the
user.
Make sure to adhere to the following guidelines:
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing an anti-static wristband can prevent
electrostatic discharge.
Self-grounding: Touch a grounded conductor every few minutes to discharge
any excess static buildup.
IMBA-C2060 A TX Motherboard
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring any circuit board, place it on an
anti-static mat.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: Don't touch the surface of the
motherboard. Hold the motherboard by the edges when handling.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the IMBA-C2060 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the antistatic guidelines above.

Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
IMBA-C2060 may result in permanent damage to the IMBA-C2060 and
severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the IMBA-C2060. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the IMBA-C2060 or any other electrical component is handled, the
following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding:- Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the IMBA-C2060, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
IMBA-C2060.
Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
4.2 Installation Considerations
NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations should
be read and understood before installation. All installation notices must
be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead
to severe damage and injury to the person performing the installation.
Page 49
IMBA-C2060 A TX Motherboard
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:
oThe user manual provides a complete description of the IMBA-C2060
installation instructions and configuration options.
Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD):
oElectronic components are easily damaged by ESD. Wearing an ESD cuff
removes ESD from the body and helps prevent ESD damage.
Place the IMBA-C2060 on an antistatic pad:
oWhen installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an antistatic
pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.
Turn all power to the IMBA-C2060 off:
oWhen working with the IMBA-C2060, 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-C2060 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.
Allow screws to come in contact with the PCB circuit, connector pins, or its
components.

4.2.1 Socket LGA1155 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.
Step 1: Disengage the load lever by pressing the lever down and slightly outward to
clear the retention tab. Fully open the lever. See
Figure 4-1: Disengage the CPU Socket Load Lever
Step 2: Open the socket and remove the protective cover. The black protective
Figure 4-1.
cover can be removed by pulling up on the tab labeled "Remove". See
Figure 4-2.
Page 51
Figure 4-2: Remove Protective Cover
IMBA-C2060 A TX Motherboard
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.
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 4-3.

4.2.2 Socket LGA1155 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.
IMBA-C2060 A TX Motherboard
Figure 4-5: Cooling Kits (CF-1156A-RS and CF-1156B-RS)
The cooling kit can be bought from IEI. The cooling kit has a heatsink and fan.
WARNING:
Do not wipe off (accidentally or otherwise) the pre-sprayed layer of
thermal paste on the bottom of the heat sink. The thermal paste
between the CPU and the heat sink is important for optimum heat
dissipation.
To install the cooling kit, follow the instructions below.
Step 1: A cooling kit bracket is pre-inst alled on the rear of the motherboard. See
4-6.
