Section 3-3
Installing a Pentium II or Pentium III Processor
The EP-6VBA uses the Single Edge Contact (SEC) slot for a Pentium
®
II
processor packaged in an SEC cartridge. The SEC slot is not compatible with
other non-Pentium II processors.
Please have ready the following list of components so that we may install the
processor onto the motherboard.
1. Heat sink support (top/bottom piece)
2. Pentium
®
II processor heat sink
3. Intel Pentium II Processor
OK, now that you have all of your components ready, we can start.
First, please refer to figure 6 below, and follow the direction to lift up the
fixed foldable pentium
®
II Retention Mechanism. This pre-installed
device is designed for you to install Pentium
®
II CPU more easier and to
avoide any damage on the board due to overtightening the four screws.
One thing must be kept in your mind that please make sure to lift upright
the foldable parts of the Retention module to fit and install CPU properly.
Figure 6
Now we are going to install the heatsink support base piece (figure 7) onto the
motherboard. There is both a large and small hole (figure 8) so that the base
will only fit in one direction. This piece needs to be pushed into the holes
firmly until it is seated.
Now we are ready to install the SEC Cartridge (Pentium
®
II Processor) into the
Retention Module. The SEC Cartridge is mounted by sliding the SEC Cartridge
into the Retention Module and letting it slide all the way down. Once it reaches
the bottom make sure you press firmly on SEC cartridge to firmly secure into
the Slot 1 Socket.
