2-2 Processor Installation

When handling the processor package, avoid placing

!

direct pressure on the label area of the fan.

 

The following pages cover the installation procedure. You should install the processor to the motherboard first, then install the motherboard in the chassis, then the memory and add-on cards, and finally the cables and drivers. Following the installation procedures in the order they appear in this chapter should elimi- nate the most common problems encountered when installing a system.

IMPORTANT: Always connect the power cord last and always remove it

before adding, removing or changing any hardware components.

Heat Sink

Follow the instructions that came with your processor or heat sink to attach a heat sink to the processor. Your heat sink should have a 3-pin fan, which connects to the CPU 1/2 header. Make sure that good contact is made between the CPU cartridge and the heat sink, particularly with SECC2 Pentium III OEM packages. Insufficient contact will cause the processor to overheat, which may crash the system.

URM

Your motherboard has a preinstalled URM (Universal Retention Mecha- nism). A picture of a URM is shown in Figure 2-1. (This is one of several types - all of which can support SEPP, SECC and SECC2 pack- ages.) Before installing your processor, you must flip the arms of the URM to their upright positions. Some URMs may have extra caps to be used for Pentium III processors (AMP URMs do not use these). After the processor is installed in the motherboard, place one of these caps (if included) on each end of the URM and push down until they snap into place. These caps are not left/right specific.

Processor

You are now ready to install the processor. Your motherboard has a Slot 1 type connector, which supports Celeron, Pentium II* and Pentium III pro- cessors housed in SEPP, SECC* and SECC2 packages, respectively. Please see the note on the following page when installing a Pentium II processor with the SECC package.
