1 . 1 2 Mounting the CPU and Cooling Modules

The Pentium® II is a module-type CPU which runs at high speeds, for example 450 MHz, so the cooling mechanism becomes critical for system reliability. There are two types of cooling methods. one with a cooling fan attached to the heat sink of the Pentium II module, the other with a huge heat sink without any cooling fan attached. The first of these methods is recommended.

Both cooling methods for the Pentium II require a "retention module" to firmly fix the Pentium II CPU to slot 1. Figure 1- 3 illustrates the steps involved in mounting the retention module and installing the CPU and cooling modules.
