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.
IMBA-BDE A TX Motherboard
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-BDE 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 installation may result in
permanent damage to the product and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the IMBA-BDE. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical to strictly adhere to the following anti-static precautions whenever the IMBA-BDE,
or any other electrical component, is handled.
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-BDE, place it on an
anti-static pad. This redu ces the possibility of ESD damaging the IMBA-BDE.
Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold it by the
edges.
4.2 Installation Considerations
NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations should
be read and understood before the IMBA-BDE is installed. All
installation notices pertaining to the installation of IMBA-BDE should be
strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to
severe damage of the IMBA-BDE and injury to the person installing the
motherboard.
Page 49
Page 63
IMBA-BDE A TX Motherboard
WARNING:
The installation instructions described in this manual should be
carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the IMBA-BDE,
IMBA-BDE 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 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 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 off:
o Make sure the product is disconnected from all power supplies and that
no electricity is being fed into the system.
Before and during the installation of the IMBA-BDE, 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 DIMM Installation
To install a DIMM, please follow the steps below and refer to Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1: 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:

4.4 M.2 Module Installation
NOTE:
If the SATA signal of the M.2 slot (CON9) is being used, such as an
M.2 SSD is installed to the M.2 slot, the SATA5 connector will be
disabled.
The M.2 slot is keyed in the M position and provides the mounting screw position
for 2242/226 0/ 2280-size M.2 module. To install a 2280-size M.2 module, please follow
the steps below.
Step 1: Locate the M.2 module slot. See Chapter 3.

Step 3: Line up the notch on the module with the notch on the slot. Slide the M.2 module
into the socket at an angle of about 20º (
Figure 4-3: Inserting the M.2 Module into the Slot at an Angle
Figure 4-3).
Step 4: Push the M.2 module down and secure it with the previously removed retention
screw (
