1.1 Introduction

Figure 1-1: HPCIE-C236

HPCIE-C236 Half-size PICMG 1.3 CPU Card

The HPCIE-C236 is a half-size PICMG 1.3 CPU card. It accepts a Socket LGA1151 Intel® Xeon® E3-1200 v5 Series, Core™ i3, Pentium® or Celeron® processor and supports two 260-pin 2133/1867 MHz dual-channel DDR4 SO-DIMM modules up to 32 GB.

The HPCIE-C236 provides two GbE interfaces through the Intel® I219LM (with Intel® AMT 11.0 support) and the Intel® I210 PCIe controllers. The integrated Intel® C236 chipset supports two SATA 6Gb/s drives with RAID 0/1 function. In addition, the HPCIE-C236 includes VGA and iDP interfaces for dual independent display.

Two USB 3.0 on the rear panel, four USB 2.0 by pin headers, two RS-232/422/485 and one PCIe Mini interface (supports mSATA and USB 2.0) provide flexible expansion options. High Definition Audio (HDA) support ensures HDA devices can be easily implemented on the HPCIE-C236.

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.

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 HPCIE-C236 is unpacked, please do the following:

 Follow the anti-static 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 HPCIE-C236 may result in permanent damage to the HPCIE-C236 and severe injury to the user.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the HPCIE-C236. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the HPCIE-C236 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 HPCIE-C236, place it on an

anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the HPCIE-C236.

 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 43

HPCIE-C236 Half-size 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 HPCIE-C236

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 HPCIE-C236 on an anti-static pad:

o When installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an anti-static

pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.

 Turn all power to the HPCIE-C236 off:

o When working with the HPCIE-C236, 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 HPCIE-C236, 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.

4.3 Socket LGA1151 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 45

Figure 4-2: Remove Protective Cover

HPCIE-C236 Half-size PICMG 1.3 CPU Card

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 46

Carefully match the two orientation notches on the CPU with the socket alignment keys.

HPCIE-C236 Half-size PICMG 1.3 CPU Card

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 LGA1151 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

4.4 Socket LGA1151 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.

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 bra cket is pre-i nstall ed on the rea r of the mother board. See

Figure 4-5.

Page 48

HPCIE-C236 Half-size PICMG 1.3 CPU Card

Figure 4-5: Cooling Kit Support Bracket

Step 2: Place the cooling kit onto the socket LGA1151 CPU. 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: Tighten the screws. Use a screwdriver to tighten the four screws. In a diagonal

pattern, tighten each screw a few turns then move to the next one, until they are all secured. Do not overtighten the screws.

Step 5: Connect the fan cable. Connect the cooling kit fan cable to the CPU fan

connector on the HPCIE-C236. Carefully route the cable and avoid heat generating chips and fan blades.Step 0:

4.5 SO-DIMM Installation

To install a SO-DIMM, please follow the steps below and refer to Figure 4-6.

HPCIE-C236 Half-size PICMG 1.3 CPU Card

Figure 4-6: SO-DIMM Installation

Step 1: Open the SO-DIMM socket handles. Open the two handles outwards as far as

they can. See
