Hardware Configuration
This section provides information on jumper settings and
connectors on the IB990 in order to set up a workable system.
On top of that, you will also need to install crucial pieces such as
the CPU and the memory before using the product. The topics
covered are:
Essential installations before you begin:
CPU and the memory
Jumper and connector locations
Jumper settings and information of connectors

IB990 User’s Manual
2.1 Essential Installations Before You Begin
Follow the instructions below to install the CPU and the memory.
2.1.1 Installing the CPU
The IB990 board supports an LGA1151 Socket (shown below) for
Intel®Xeon®E3 v5 family or Intel®6th Gen. CoreTM i7 / i5 / i3 DT
processor processors. Follow the instructions below to install the
CPU.
1. Unlock the socket by pressing the lever sideways, then lift up the
lever and the metal lid.
2. Position the CPU above the socket such that the CPU corner
aligns with the gold triangle matching the socket corner with a
small triangle.
3. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket and push down the lever
to secure the CPU.
Then you can install the CPU cooler and fan.
Note: Ensure that the CPU cooler and the CPU top surface are in total
contact to avoid CPU overheating problem that would cause your
system to hang or be unstable.
