2.18 – Installing the Processor and Heatsink
The S2662 supports the mPGA478 Pentium 4 processors technologies from Intel. For important

The following diagrams will detail how to install your processor:
The processors you choose to use may not look exactly like the one pictured above, nor will the
socket look exactly the same. The diagram is a visual guide to help you install processors.
1.
Lift the lever on the socket as far back as possible to the socket.
2.
Align the processor with the socket. There are keys underneath the processor just like
on memory modules to ensure that they insert the correct way.
3.
Seat the processor firmly into the socket by gently pressing down until the processor
sits flush with the socket.
4.
Place the socket lever back down until it snaps into place.
5.
Your processor is installed.
Take care when installing the processor as it has fragile connector pins that can bend and
break if inserted improperly.
Heatsink Installation
After you are done installing the processor, you should proceed to installing the heatsink. The
heatsink will ensure that the processor does not overheat, and will continue to operate at
maximum performance. An overheated processor is also dangerous to the long- term reliability of
the motherboard.
