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 PCIE-G41A2 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
PCIE-G41A2 may result in permanent damage to the PCIE-G41A2 and
severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the PCIE-G41A2. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the PCIE-G41A2 or any other electrical component is handled, the
following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple an ti-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 PCIE-G41A2, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
PCIE-G41A2.
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 35
PCIE-G41A2 PICMG 1.3 CPU card
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 PCIE-G41A2
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 PCIE-G41A2 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 PCIE-G41A2 off:
o When working with the PCIE-G41A2, 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 PCIE-G41A2 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 LGA775 CPU Installation
NOTE:
To enable Hyper-Threading, the CPU and chipset must both support it.
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.
The LGA775 socket is shown in Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1: Intel LGA775 Socket
To install the CPU, follow the steps below.
WARNING:
DO NOT touch the pins at the bottom of the CPU. When handling the
CPU, only hold it on the sides.
Page 37
Step 1: Remove the protective cover. The black protective cover can be removed by
PCIE-G41A2 PICMG 1.3 CPU card
pulling up on the tab labeled "Remove". See
Figure 4-2: Remove Protective Cover
Step 2: Open the socket. Disengage the load lever by pressing the lever down and
slightly outward to clear the retention tab. Fully open the lever, then open the
load plate. See
Figure 4-3.
Figure 4-2.
Page 38
Figure 4-3: CPU Socket Load Plate
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.
PCIE-G41A2 PICMG 1.3 CPU card
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 4-4.
Figure 4-4: Insert the Socket LGA775 CPU
Step 8: Close the CPU socket. Close the load plate and engage the load lever by
pushing it back to its original position. There will be some resist ance, but will not
require extreme pressure.
Step 9: Connect the 12 V power to the board. Connect the 12 V power from the power
supply to the board. Step 0:

4.2.2 Socket LGA775 Cooling Kit Installation
WARNING:
DO NOT use the original Intel® heat sink and fan. A proprietary one is
recommended.
Figure 4-5: Cooling Kits (CF-520 and CF-775A)
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: Place the cooling kit onto the socket LGA775 CPU. Make sure the CPU
cable can be properly routed when the cooling kit is installed.
Page 40
Step 2: Properly align the cooling kit. Make sure the four spring screw fasteners can
pass through the pre-drilled holes on the PCB.
PCIE-G41A2 PICMG 1.3 CPU card
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 predrilled holes on the bottom of the PCB.
Step 4: Secure the cooling kit. From the solder side of the PCB, align the support
bracket to the screw threads on heat sink that were inserted through the PCB
holes. (See
Figure 4-6: Securing the Heat sink to the PCIE-G41A2
Figure 4-6)
Step 5: Tighten the screws. Use a screwdriver to tighten the four screws. Tighten each
nut a few turns at a time and do not over-tighten the screws.
Step 6: Connect the fan cable. Connect the cooling kit fan cable to the fan connector
on the PCIE-G41A2. Carefully route the cable and avoid heat generating chips
and fan blades. Step 0:

4.2.3 DIMM Installation
To install a DIMM, please follow the steps below and refer to Figure 4-7.
PCIE-G41A2 PICMG 1.3 CPU card
Figure 4-7: DIMM Installation
Step 1: Open the DIMM socket handles. Open the two handles outwards as far as
they can. See
Step 2: Align the DIMM with the socket. Align the DIMM so the notch on the memory
lines up with the notch on the memory socket. See
Step 3: Insert the DIMM. Once aligned, press down until the DIMM is properly seated.
Clip the two handles into place. See
Step 4: Removing a DIMM. To remove a DIMM, push both handles outward. The
memory module is ejected by a mechanism in the socket.Step 0:

refer to the reference material that came with the backplane. Next, secure the CPU card to
the chassis. To do this, please refer to the reference material that came with the chassis.
4.3 Jumper Settings
NOTE:
A jumper is a metal bridge used to close
an electrical circuit. It consists of two or
three metal pins and a small metal clip
(often protected by a plastic cover) that
slides over the pins to connect them. To
CLOSE/SHORT a jumper means
connecting the pins of the jumper with
the plastic clip and to OPEN a jumper means removing the plastic clip
from a jumper.
The PCIE-G41A2 includes one jumper shown in Table 4-1.
