4. Drop the retention module down over the
Pentium II slot so that the retention module
sits flat against the motherboard. Tighten the
screws in a clockwise manner to secure the
module to the board. Warning: Do not over-
tighten the screws as you may damage the
module and/or the motherboard.
Installing the Active Processor
1. When the retention module is securely
installed, you are ready to plug the CPU into
the retention module.
2. Press firmly on the CPU until you hear a
“click.” This clicking sound indicates that the
CPU is fully locked into the retention mod-
ule.
3. After the CPU is securely seated on the
retention module in the Pentium II slot, con-
nect the CPU’s cooling fan cable to the cool-
ing fan power connector on the board.
Installing CPU Cooling Fans
1. Locate the cooling fan connectors (3 connectors: FAN1-FAN3) on the
motherboard.
2. Plug the CPU’s cooling fan cable into the cooling fan connector on
the board. Make sure that the black wire of the cable is plugged into
pin 1 of the connector. Refer to pin 1 marked on the layout on page 16.
Pin assignments: pin 1–ground (black), pin 2–12 V (red), pin 3– signal
(yellow).
