2.2.2 Installing CPU
Before You Begin
1. Be sure that your Intel boxed processor kit includes the following
items:
· the processor with the fan or heatsink attached
· one heatsink support set containing two black plastic pegs and
two black plastic supports.
· one power cable (for CPU with cooling fan attached only)
· one Intel Inside ® Pentium II processor program label
2. Place the motherboard on a workbench (not in a chassis). Be sure
that the motherboard is bare (that is, no DIMMs, cables, or cards
are installed) and that the holes for the fan or heatsink support
pegs are empty.
3. Install the retention mechanism onto the motherboard by follow-
ing the manufacturer’s instructions. (Shown installed in the fol-
lowing figure.)
Installing the Boxed Processor
1. Mount the two black plastic pegs onto the motherboard. These pegs
will be used to attach the fan or heatsink supports. Notice that one
hole and the base of one peg are larger than the other hole and peg
base. Push each peg into its hole firmly until you hear it “click” into
place.
