Chapter 6: Common Problems and Solutions (Troubleshooting)

Based on thousands of forum posts from users lacking the IPMMB-FM manual, here are top issues and fixes.

Manufacturer: Foxconn (OEM for HP)
Form Factor: uATX (Micro ATX) – 24.4 x 24.4 cm (9.6 x 9.6 inches)
Socket: LGA 1155 (Supports Intel Core i3, i5, i7 2nd and 3rd Generation processors)
Chipset: Intel H61 Express

Cause: Incorrect header connection. The IPMMB-FM has a dual-row 10-pin USB 2.0 header – but many cases use single 9-pin. You need an adapter.
Fix: Refer to the header mapping in Chapter 3. Pin 1 = VCC, Pin 2 = Ground, etc.
