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 wrist ban d can prev ent
electrostatic discharge.
Self-grounding: Touch 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 IMB-H612 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 IMB-H612
may result in perm anent da mage to the IMB-H612 and severe injury to
the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the IMB-H612. Dry clim ates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the IMB-H612 or any other electrical com ponent 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 IMB-H612, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the IMB-H612.
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 to. Faili ng to adhere to these precauti ons m ay lead
to severe damage and injury to the person performing the installation.
Page 61
IMB-H612 Mi c ro -ATX Motherboard
Page 46
WARNING:
The installation instructions described in this manual should be
carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the IMB-H612,
IMB-H612 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 IMB-H612
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 IMB-H612 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 IMB-H612 off:
o When working with the IMB-H612, 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 IMB-H612 DO NOT:
Remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers are required for
warranty validation.
Use the product before verif ying 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 Bas ic Ins tallation
WARNING:
A CPU should never be turned on without the specified cooling kit
being installed. If the cooling kit (heat sink and fan) is not properly
installed and the system turned on, permanent damage to the CPU,
IMB-H612 and other electronic components attached to the system
may be incurred. R unning a C PU without a cooling kit m ay also resu lt
in injury to the user.
The CPU, CPU cooling kit and DIMM are the most critical components of the IMB-H612. If
one of these component is not installed the IMB-H612 cannot run.
4.3.1 Socket LGA1155 C PU Ins 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 outwards to
clear the retention tab. Fully open the lever. See Figure 4-1.
Page 63
IMB-H612 Mi c ro -ATX Motherboard
Page 48
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.
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.
Page 64
IMB-H612 Micro-ATX Motherboard
Page 49
Step 5: Correctly position the CPU. Match the Pin 1 mark with the CPU 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.
Figure 4-3: Insert the Socket LGA1155 CPU
Step 8: Close the CPU socket. Close the load plate and pull the load 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. See Figure 4-4. There will be some
resistance, but will not require extreme pressure.
Page 65
IMB-H612 Mi c ro -ATX Motherboard
Page 50
Figure 4-4: Close the Socket LGA1155
Step 9: Connect the 12 V power to the board. Connect the 12 V power from the power
supply to the board.
4.3.2 Cooling Kit Ins tallation
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-1156A-RS, CF-1156B-RS, CF-1156C-RS,
CF-1156D-RS)
The cooling kit can be bought from IEI. The cooling kit has a heat sink and fan.
Page 66
IMB-H612 Micro-ATX Motherboard
Page 51
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 motherboar d. See Figure
4-6.
Figure 4-6: Cooling Kit Support Bracket
Step 2: Place the cooling kit onto the socket LGA1155 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.
Page 67
IMB-H612 Mi c ro -ATX Motherboard
Page 52
Step 4: Secure the cooling kit by fastening the four retention screw of the cooling kit.
Step 5: Connect the fan cable. Connect the cooling kit fan cable to the fan connector
on the IMB-H612. Carefully route the cable and avoid heat generating chips and
fan blades.
4.3.3 DIMM Ins tallat ion
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.

4.4 Jumper Settings
NOTE:
A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an
electrical circuit. It consists of two or three metal
pins and a sm all metal clip (often protec ted by a
plastic cover) that slides o ver t he pins to c onnect
them. To CLOSE/SHORT a jumper means
connecting the pins of the jum per with the plas tic
clip and to OPEN a jumper means removing the
plastic clip from a jumper.
