Place the DIMMs in an anti-static bag as soon as you remove them to avoid
static damage.
Finally, install your CPU.
Pentium II processors (233 through 450MHz) can be used on the Tiger 100.
Please refer to pages 29-30 for the correct CPU jumper settings for your board.
Remember:
• The CPU is a sensitive electronic component and it can easily be damaged
by static electricity. Do not touch the CPU pins with your fingers.
• Before the CPU is installed, the motherboard must be placed on a
flat surface. You should be able to insert the CPU with minimal, but
firm, pressure. Do not press down hard on the CPU.
Currently, Intel produces two types of Pentium II processors: the active (or
boxed) processor and the passive processor (see Figures 11 and 12 on the next
page). These two types of processors are essentially the same in design; the
only difference lies in their cooling methods. The active processor is equipped
with a cooling fan and heat sink, while the passive processor is equipped with
a heat sink alone. Both types of CPUs provide the user with the same perfor-
mance, and both types can be installed in the Pentium II slot on the Tiger 100
board.
