Installation of Pentium II Active (Boxed) Processors
Active processors are equipped with cooling fans. When installing an
active CPU, you also need to connect the cooling fan cable to its
connector.
Installing CPU Retention Modules
1. Installation of a Pentium II active processor requires a CPU
retention module, which is first secured onto the motherboard. (Refer to
the motherboard layout on Page 16.)
2. To attach the retention module,
place the motherboard on a flat
surface.
3. Locate the key pin on one end of
the Pentium II slot on the board.
Then carefully line up the key notch
on the retention module with the key
pin on the Pentium II slot (the key pin
on the Pentium II slot indicates the
correct orientation of the CPU).
