Board Installation
Installing the SlotA CPU and Cooling Fan
Using a cooling mechanism for Athlon K7 processors is extremely important. The
active cooler shown in Figure 2-8 below is equipped with a cooling fan and heat
sink, allowing better air flow and heat dissipation for the CPU. The size of the
cooling mechanism will not interfere with CPU installation. The CPU will fit with
ease into the CPU slot of the Trinity K7 board.
Figure 2-9 below shows an overhead view of the retention braces positioned at
both ends of the CPU slot.
Be sure to tighten the retention brace screws to
secure them onto the motherboard.
