CPU Installation
The Micronics C400 is designed to support single Pentium
II processors. The Pentium II processor comes installed
in a Single Edge Contact (SEC) cartridge that connects
into "Slot 1" on the system board.
A Retention Mechanism is supplied to anchor the pro-
cessor to the system board. Attach the Retention Mecha-
nism before inserting the processor.
Installing the CPU Retention Mechanism
Before you begin, verify that your Retention Mechanism
Kit contains the following items:
❏
Retention Base (black plastic module)
❏
Support Bridges with Studs (plastic
mounts).
Follow the steps below to install the kit:
1. Locate the four Retention Base holes (near each end
of the Slot 1 socket). Insert the two Support Bridges
with studs (plastic mounts) from the bottom side of
the Micronics C400 toward the component side
until they snap into place.
(Orient the loops toward
the outer edges of the
system board)
