Board Installation
Currently, two types of cooling mechanisms are produced for Pentium II proces-
sors: active (figure 2-9a) and passive (figure 2-9b). These two types of cooling
methods essentially perform the same function. The active cooler is equipped
with a cooling fan and heat sink, while the passive cooler is simply a larger heat
sink with no fan. The type of cooler used has no effect on performance, and both
types can be installed in the CPU slot on the Trinity 371 board.
Currently S1857 does not support some older Slot 1, 66Mhz bus Pentium IIs
that use a 2.8 core voltage. Please refer to this link for the most updated
information on CPU support for the Trinity 371.
Installing CPU Retention
Modules
Installation of a Pentium II / III/
Celeron processor requires a CPU
retention module, which is first
secured onto the motherboard.

retention modules. For detailed
installation procedures of your
module, please refer to Appendix 2
located at the back of the manual.
