3.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the IEM-9452 may result in permanent damage to the IEM-9452 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the IEM-9452. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the IEM-9452, or any other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
IEM-9452 ETX Module
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 IEM-9452, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the IEM-9452.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.

3.2 Unpacking

3.2.1 Unpacking Precautions

When the IEM-9452 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 3.1. Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the IEM-9452 does not fall

5 Installation

Page 43

5.1 Installation Considerations

NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations should be read and understood before the CPU module is installed. All installation notices pertaining to the installation of the CPU module should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe damage of the CPU module and injury to the person installing the CPU module.
IEM-9452 ETX Module

5.1.1 Installation Notices

Before and during the installation of the IEM-9452, please do the following:
Read the user manual
o The user manual provides a complete d escriptio n of the IEM-9452,
installation instructions and configuration options.
Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD)
o Electronic co mponents are easily damag ed by ESD. Wearing an ESD cuff
removes ESD from the body and helps prevent ESD damage.
Turn off all power to the IEM-9452
o When worki ng with the CPU module, 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 IEM-9452 DO NOT:
remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers are required for
warranty validation.
Page 44
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
IEM-9452 ETX Module
components.

5.2 Unpacking

NOTE:
If any of the items listed below are missing when the IEM-9452 is unpacked, do not proceed with the installation and contact the IEM-9452 reseller or vendor .

5.2.1 Unpacking Precautions

Before installing the IEM-9452, unpack t he CPU module. Some components on IEM-9452 are very sensitive to static electricity and can be damaged by a sudden rush of power. To protect it from being damaged, follow these precautions:
The user should ground them self to remove any static charge before
touching the IEM-9452. To do so wear a grounded wrist strap at all times or frequently touch any conducting materials that is connected to the ground.
Handle the IEM-9452 by its edges. Do not touch the IC chips, leads or
circuitry if not necessary.
Do not place a PCB on top of an anti-static bag. Only the inside of the bag is safe from static discharge.

5.2.2 Checklist

When unpacking the IEM-9452, please make sure that the p ackage contains the following items.
1 x IEM-9452 CPU module 1 x Heat spreader 1 x Heat sink 1 x Utility CD
Page 45
1 x QIG
If one or more of these items are missing, please contact the reseller or vendor the IEM-9452 was purchased from and do not proceed any further with the installation.

5.3 IEM-9452 Embedded Module Installation

WARNING!
Never run the embedded module without an appropriate heat sink.
WARNING!
Please note that the installation instructions described in this manual shou ld
IEM-9452 ETX Module
be carefully followed in order to avoid damage to the CPU module components and injury to the user.
WARNING!
When installing electronic components onto the embedded module or installing the embedded module onto the baseboard, alway s take anti-static precautions in order to prevent ESD damage to the CPU module and other electronic components like the CPU and SO-DIMM module.
The following components must be installed onto the CPU module or connected to the CPU module during the installation process.
Page 46
IEM-9452 ETX Module
NOTE:
The IEM-9452 embedded module already has a preinstalled Intel® CPU.
SO-DIMM module Mount the embedded module onto a baseboard Install the heat sink

5.3.1 SO-DIMM Installation

WARNING:
Using incorrectly specified SO-DIMM may cause permanently damage the IEM-9452. Please make sure the purchased SO-DIMM complies with the memory specifications of the IEM-9452. SO-DIMM specifications compliant with the IEM-9452 are listed in Chapter 2.
To install a SO-DIMM into a SO-DIMM socket, please follow the steps below and refer to

Figure 5-1: SO-DIMM Installation
Step 1: Locate the SO-DIMM socket. Place the IEM-9452 on an anti-static pad.
Step 2: Align the SO-DIMM with the socket. The SO-DIMM must be orien ted in such a
Page 47
way that the notch in the middle of the SO-DIMM must be aligned with the plastic bridge in the socket.
Step 3: Insert the SO-DIMM. Push the SO-DIMM chip into the socket at an angle. (See
Figure 5-1)
Step 4: Open the SO-DIMM socket arms. Gently pull the arms of the SO-DIMM socket
IEM-9452 ETX Module
out and push the rear of the SO-DIMM down. (See
Step 5: Secure the SO-DIMM. Release the arms on the SO-DIMM socket. They clip into
place and secure the SO-DIMM in the socket.Step 0:
Figure 5-1)

5.3.2 Mounting the IEM-9452 Embedded Module

The IEM-9452 embedded module has four standard ETX connectors on the reverse side. To install the IEM-9452 please refer to and follow the installation instructions below:
Step 1: Align the ETX connectors. Align the ETX connectors (ETX-X1, ETX-X2,
ETX-X3 and ETX-X4) with the corresponding connectors on a compatible baseboard.
NOTE:
Baseboard can be designed by the end user, customized by IEI, or
Page 48
purchased from IEI. For more information visit the IEI webstie (
www.ieiworld.com) or contact an IEI sales representative.
Step 2: Gently insert the connectors. Gently push the embedded module down to
ensure the connectors are properly connected.
Step 3: Align the heat sink. Align the heat sink with the IEM-9452 making sure that the
three onboard chipsets are in proper contact with the heat sink. Also make sure the retention screw holes on the corners of the heat sink are properly aligned
IEM-9452 ETX Module
with the corresponding holes on the ETX module and baseboard.
Step 4: Insert retention screws. Insert four retention screws through the heat sink and
IEM-9452 to secure them to the baseboard.

5.3.3 SATA Drive Connection

The IEM-9452 is shipped with two SATA drive cables and one SATA drive power cable. To connect the SATA drives to the connectors, please follow the steps below.
Step 5: Locate the connectors. The locations of the SATA drive connectors are shown
in Chapter 3.
Step 6: Insert the cable connector. Press the clip on the connector at the end of the
SATA cable and insert the cable connector into the on-board SATA drive connector. See
Step 7: Connect the cable to the SATA disk. Connect the connector on the other end
of the cable to the connector at the back of the SATA drive. See
Step 8: Connect the SATA po wer cable. Connect the SATA power connector to the
back of the SATA drive. See
