2.1 Anti-s tatic 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 minute s 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-G410 is unpacked, please do the followin g:
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-G410 may result in permanent damage to the IMBA-G410 and
severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the IMBA-G410. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the IMBA-G410 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 wrist band 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, f requently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the IMBA-G410, pl ace it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
IMBA-G410.
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 instal l ation 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.

IMBA-G4 10 ATX Motherboard
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 provi des a complete description of the IMBA-G410
installation instructions and configuration opt i ons.
Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD):
o Electronic compone nts are easily dam aged by ESD. Wearing an ESD cuff
removes ESD from the body and helps prevent ESD damage.
Place the IMBA-G410 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 t he IMBA-G410 off:
o When working with the IMBA-G410, make sure that it is disconnected
from all power supplies and that no electricity is being fed into the syst em.
Before and during the installation of the IMBA-G410 DO NOT:
Remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These st ickers a re required f or
warranty validation.
Use the product before verifying all the cables and power connectors are
properly connected.
Allow screws to come in contact with t he PCB circuit, connector pins, or its
components.

4.3 B as ic Ins tallat ion
This section outlines the parts that must be installed for the system to function correctly.
4.3.1 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 sur e the CPU
i
s 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.
Page 58
441/20/2012165
Page 44
IMBA-G4 10 ATX Motherboard
WARNING:
DO NOT touch the pins at the bottom of the CPU. When handling the
CPU, only hold it on the sides.
Step 1: Remove the protective cover. The black protective cover can be removed by
pulling up on the tab labeled "Remove". See Figure 4-2.
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 4-3: CPU Socket Load Plate
Page 59

IMBA-G410 ATX Motherboard
Page 45
Step 3: Inspect the CPU socket. Make sure there are no bent pins and make sure the
socket contacts are free of foreig n mat eri al. I f any debris i s found, remov e 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 4-4.
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 resistance, but will not
require extreme pressure.
Step 9: Connect the 12 V power to the board. Conne ct the 12 V power fr om the power
supply to the board. S tep 0:

4.3.2 Cooling Kit Ins tallation
WARNING:
DO NOT use the original Intel® heat sink and fan. A proprietary one is
recommended.
Figure 4-5: Cooling Kits
The cooling kit can be bought from IEI. The cool ing 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 instruction s below.
Step 1: Place the cooling kit onto the socket LGA775 CPU. Make sure the CP U
cable can be properly routed when the cooling kit i s installed.
Step 2: Properly align the cooling kit. Make sure the four spring scre w f ast eners can
pass through the pre-drilled holes on the P CB.
Page 61
2012/1/202012/1/20
IMBA-G410 ATX Motherboard
Page 47
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)
Figure 4-6: Securing the Heat sink to the IMBA-G410
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 s cre ws.
Step 6: Connect the fan cable. Connect the cooling kit fan cable to the fan connector
on the IMBA-G410. Carefully route the cable and avoid heat generating chips
and fan blades. S tep 0:

Auto-Detected Drive Parameters
The “grayed-out” items in the left frame are IDE disk drive parameters automatically
detected from the firmware of the selected IDE disk drive. The drive parameters are listed
as follows:
Device: Lists the device type (e.g. ha rd disk, CD-ROM etc.)
Type: Indicates the type of devices a user can manually select
Vendor: Lists the device manufacturer
Size: List the storage capacity of the devi ce.
LBA Mode: Indicates whether the LBA (Logical Block Addressing) is a
method of addressing data on a disk dri ve is supported or not.
Block Mode: Block mode boosts IDE drive performance by increasing the
amount of data transferred. Only 512 bytes of data can be transferred per
interrupt if block mode is not used. Block mode allows tran sfers of up to 64 KB
per interrupt.
PIO Mode: Indicates the PIO mode of the installed device.
Async DMA: Indicates the highest Asynchronous DMA Mode t hat is
supported.
Ultra DMA: Indicates the highest Synchronous DMA Mode that is supported.
