5. Insert the heatsink support pins into the
heat sink support base
with the
long axis of the pins parallel to the wide axis of the mainboard. The
ends of the pins will protrude through the bottom of the heatsink support
base when fully inserted.
6. Insert the Pentium II processor into the
Pentium II retention base
with
the processors heatsink fitting over the heatsink support base. Press
evenly and gently until the snaps on the upper side of the processor
have been inserted into the holes at the top of the retention base. Note
that when removing the processor, these snaps can be clicked into a
completely vertical position, leaving your hands free to stabilize the board
and pull the processor evenly and gently out of the board. Also note
that like PCI and ISA slots, Slot 1 has a divider that prevents backwards
insertion.
7. Insert the
heatsink support top bar
into the
heatsink support base
in a
horizontal fashion, allowing it to click in place. The heatsink support
bar has no directionality (can be inserted with the top facing up or
down).
Note:
Installing a heatsink and cooling fan is necessary for
proper heat dissipation from your CPU. Failing to install
these items may result in overheating and possible
burn-out of your CPU.
