Replacing the Processor
The system is compatible with the Intel Pentium® II 100 MHz front-side
bus (FSB) and 66 MHz FSB processors.
The system board will support the following processor/bus configurations:
•
233/66
•
266/66
•
300/66
•
333/66
•
350/100
•
400/100
•

It is critical that a heat sink be installed on each processor to provide
sufficient cooling.
When replacing a processor, order a processor upgrade kit. The kit includes
the processor, a heat sink, and a disposable electrostatic discharge (ESD)
wrist strap.

processors should be
paired only with 100 MHz
SDRAM.
