Installing Processor
The EP-7KXA uses the Single Edge Contact (SEC) slot for a AMD Athlon
processor packaged in an SEC cartridge.
Please have ready the following list of components so that we may install the
processor onto the motherboard.
1. AMD Athlon processor heat sink
2. AMD Athlon Processor
OK, now that you have all of your components ready, we can start.
First, please refer to figure 6 below, and follow the direction to lift up the
foldable AMD Athlon Retention Mechanism. This pre-installed device is
designed for you to install AMD Athlon CPU more easier and to avoide any
damage on the board due to overtightening the four screws.
One thing must be kept in your mind that please make sure to lift upright
the foldable parts of the Retention module to fit and install CPU properly.
Figure 6
Now we are going to install the heatsink support base piece onto the motherboard.
There is both a large and small hole so that the base will only fit in one direction.
This piece needs to be pushed into the holes firmly until it is seated.
Now we are ready to install the SEC Cartridge (AMD Athlon Processor) into the
Retention Module. The SEC Cartridge is mounted by sliding the SEC Cartridge
into the Retention Module and letting it slide all the way down. Once it reaches
the bottom make sure you press firmly on SEC cartridge to firmly secure into the
Slot A Socket.
