2.1 Anti-s tatic Precautions
WARNING!
Static electricity can destroy certain electronics. Make sure to follow the ESD precautions to preve nt damage to the product, and injur y 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: T ouch 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 IMBA-C604EN is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the antistatic guidelines above.  Make sure the packing box is facing upwards when opening.  Make sure all the packing list items are present.

4.1 Anti-s tatic Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the IMBA-C604EN ma y r esult i n permanent dam age to th e IMBA-C604EN and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the IMBA-C604EN. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that w henever the IMBA-C604EN 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 IMBA-C604EN, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the IMBA-C604EN.
Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
4.2 Installation Considerations
NOTE:
The following installa ti on n otic es a nd i ns tal la tio n cons i derati ons s ho ul d be read and understood before installation. All installation notices must be strictly adhered t o. Failing to adhere to these precauti ons m ay lead to severe damage and injury to the person performing the installation.
Page 64
IMBA-C604EN ATX Motherboard
Page 49
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 IMBA-C604EN
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-C604EN 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-C604EN off:
o When working with the IMBA-C604EN, 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-C604EN 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 LGA1356 CPU In s tallation
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. W hen handling th e 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.
Figure 4-1: Disengage the CPU Socket Load Lever
Step 2: Open the socket and remove the protective cover. The black protective
cover can be removed by pulling up on the tab labeled "Remove". See Figure 4-2.
Page 66
IMBA-C604EN ATX Motherboard
Page 51
Figure 4-2: Remove Protective Cover
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.
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 4-3.
Page 67
IMBA-C604EN ATX Motherboard
Page 52
Figure 4-3: Insert the Socket LGA1356 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 (Figure 4-4). There will be some resistance, but will not require extreme pressure.
Figure 4-4: Close the Socket LGA1356
Step 9: Connect the 12 V power to the board. Connect the 12 V power from the power
supply to the board. S tep 0:

4.2.2 Socket LGA1356 Cooling Kit Ins tallat ion
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.
Figure 4-5: Cooling Kits (CF-1356A-RS, CF-1356B-RS)
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: A cooling kit bracket is pre-installed on the rear of the motherboard. See Figure
4-6.
Page 69
IMBA-C604EN ATX Motherboard
Page 54
Figure 4-6: Cooling Kit Support Bracket
Step 2: Place the cooling kit onto the socket LGA1356 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: Secure the cooling kit by fastening the four retention screws of the cooling kit.
Step 5: Connect the fan cable. Connect the cooling kit fan cable to the fan connector
on the IMBA-C604EN. Carefully route the cable and avoid heat generating chips and fan blades.Ste p 0:

4.2.3 DIMM Ins t allation
To install a DIMM, please follow the steps below and refer to Figure 4-7.
Figure 4-7: DIMM Installation
Step 1: Open the DIMM socket handles. Open the two handles outwards as far as
they can. See Figure 4-7.
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 Figure 4-7.
Step 3: Insert the DIMM. Once aligned, press down until the DIMM is properly seated.
Clip the two handles into place. See Figure 4-7.
Step 4: Removing a DIMM. To remove a DIMM, push both handles outward. The
memory module is ejected by a mechanism in the socket.S tep 0:
