1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: IMBA-C2260-i2
IMBA-C2260-i2 A TX Motherboard
The IMBA-C2260-i2 is an ATX motherboard. It accepts a Socket LGA1150 Intel® Xeon®
E3, Core™ i3, Pentium® or Celeron® processor and supports four 240-pin
1600/1333 MHz dual-channel DDR3 DIMM modules up to 32 GB.
The IMBA-C2260-i2 provides two GbE interfaces through the Intel® I217 (with Intel® AMT
9.0 support) and the Intel® I210 PCIe controllers. The integrated Intel® C226 chipset
supports six SATA 6Gb/s drives. In addition, the IMBA-C2260-i2 includes VGA and iDP
interfaces for dual independent display.
Expansion and I/O include two PCI slots, one PCIe x16 slot with x8 signal, two PCIe x4
slots, two PCIe x1 slots, four USB 3.0 and four USB 2.0 on the rear panel, fou r USB 2.0 by
pin headers, six COM ports and one mSATA card slot. High Definition Audio (HDA)
support ensures HDA devices can be easily implemented on the IMBA-C2260-i2.

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.
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-C2260-i2 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the antistatic guidelines above.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards whe n opening.
Make sure all the packing list items are present.

4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
IMBA-C2260-i2 may result in permanent damage to the
IMBA-C2260-i2 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the IMBA-C2260-i2. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the IMBA-C2260-i2 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-C2260-i2, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
IMBA-C2260-i2.
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 55
IMBA-C2260-i2 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:
o The user manual provides a complete description of the IMBA-C2260-i2
installation instructions and configuration options.
Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD):
o Electronic components are easily damaged by ESD. Wearing an ESD cuff
removes ESD from the body and helps prevent ESD damage.
Place the IMBA-C2260-i2 on an antistatic pad:
o When installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an antistatic
pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.
Turn all power to the IMBA-C2260-i2 of f:
o When working with the IMBA-C2260-i2, 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-C2260-i2, 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 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.
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 57
Figure 4-2: Remove Protective Cover
IMBA-C2260-i2 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.
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. 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.
Page 58
Carefully match the two orientation notches on the CPU with the socket
alignment keys.
IMBA-C2260-i2 A TX Motherboard
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 (
resistance, but will not require extreme pressure.
Figure 4-4). There will be some

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.
IMBA-C2260-i2 A TX Motherboard
The cooling kit can be bought from IEI. The cooling kit has a heat sink 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
4-5.
Figure
Page 60
IMBA-C2260-i2 A TX Motherboard
Figure 4-5: Cooling Kit Support Bracket
Step 2: Place the cooling kit onto the socket LGA1150 CP U. Make sure the CPU
cable can be properly routed when the cooling kit is installed.
Step 3: Mount the cooling kit. Gently place the cooling kit on top of the CPU. Make
sure the four threaded screws on the corners of the cooling kit properly pass
through the holes of the cooling kit bracket.
Step 4: Secure the cooling kit by fastening the four retention screws of the cooling kit.
Step 5: Connect the fan cable. Connect the cooling kit fan cable to the CPU fan
connector on the IMBA-C2260-i2. Carefully route the cable and avoid heat
generating chips and fan blades.Step 0:
