IMBA-9654 ATX Motherboard
Figure 2-5: PCIe x16 Expansion Slot
2.4.3.2 PCIe x16 Bus Specifications
The PCIe port is compliant with the PCI Express* Base Specification revision 1.1. The
PCIe x16 port operates at a frequency of 2.5 Gb/s on each lane while employing 8b/10b
encoding; the port supports a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 40 Gb/s in each
direction. Some of the features are listed below.
One, 16-lane PCIe port intended for graphics attach, compatible to the PCI
Express* Base Specification revision 1.1a.
PCI Express frequency of 1.25 GHz resulting in 2.5 Gb/s each direction
Raw bit-rate on the data pins of 2.5 Gb/s results in a real bandwidth per pair of
250 MB/s given the 8b/10b encoding used to transmit data across this
interface
Maximum theoretical realized bandwidth on the interface of 4 GB/s in each

direction simultaneously, for an aggregate of 8 GB/s when x16.
PCI Express* Graphics Extended Configuration Space. The first 256 bytes of
configuration space alias directly to the PCI Compatibility configuration space.
The remaining portion of the fixed 4-KB block of memory-mapped space
above that (starting at 100h) is known as extended configuration space.
PCI Express Enhanced Addressing Mechanism. Accessing the device
configuration pace in a flat memory mapped fashion.
Automatic discovery, negotiation, and training of link out of reset
Supports traditional PCI style traffic (asynchronous snooped, PCI ordering)
Supports traditional AGP style traffic (asynchronous non-snooped, PCI
Express relaxed ordering)
Hierarchical PCI-compliant configuration mechanism for downstream devices
(i.e., normal PCI 2.3 Configuration space as a PCI-to-PCI bridge)
Supports “static” lane numbering reversal. This method of lane reversal is
controlled by a Hardware Reset strap, and reverses both the receivers and
transmitters for all lanes (e.g., TX[15]->TX[0], RX[15]->RX[0]). This method is
transparent to all external devices and is different than lane reversal as
defined in the PCI Express Specification. In particular, link initialization is not
affected by static lane reversal.

3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
IMBA-9654 may result in permanent damage to the IMBA-9654 and
severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the IMBA-9654. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the IMBA-9654, or any other electrical component is handled, the
following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
IMBA-9654 ATX Motherboard
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-9654, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
IMBA-9654.
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 IMBA-9654 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 3.1.
Page 36
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the IMBA-9654 does not fall
out of the box.
Make sure all the components shown in Section 3.3 are present.

5.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
IMBA-9654 may result in permanent damage to the IMBA-9654 and
severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the IMBA-9654. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the IMBA-9654, or any other electrical component is handled, the
following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
IMBA-9654 ATX Motherboard
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-9654, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
IMBA-9654.
Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.

5.2 Installation Considerations
NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations should
be read and understood before the IMBA-9654 is installed. All
installation notices pertaining to the installation of the IMBA-9654
should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions
may lead to severe damage of the IMBA-9654 and injury to the person
installing the motherboard.
5.2.1 Installation Notices
WARNING:
The installation instructions described in this manual should be carefully
followed in order to prevent damage to the IMBA-9654, IMBA-9654
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-9654
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-9654 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-9654 off:
Page 79
Page 100
o When working with the IMBA-9654, 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-9654 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.
