3.Insert the SEC Cartridge: Push the SEC cartridge’s two locks inward until you hear a click (the preceding picture shows the locks in the outward position and inward in the picture below). With the heatsink facing the motherboard’s chipset, press the cartridge gently but firmly until it is fully inserted. (NOTE: The procedures shown here are for installing the AAVID heatsink with fan.)

IMPORTANT: If you are installing only one processor, you must terminate the empty slot with the ASUS C-P2T PC100 CPU termination card to maintain signal strength.

IMPORTANT: Use only the ASUS C-P2T PC100 CPU termination card (Rev. 1.02 or later) to terminate the empty slot.

4.Secure the SEC Cartridge: Secure the SEC cartridge in place by pushing the SEC cartridge locks outward so that the lock protrudes through the retention mechanism’s lock holes.

5.Connect the Thermal Sensor Cables to J1601/J1602: If you purchased the specially designed ASUS Smart Fans (ASUS S-P2FAN), which come with a thermal sensor built inside the CPU fan, or purchased separately the thermal sensor cables (ASUS P2T-Cable), you can connect the P2T-Cables to your motherboard’s thermal sensor connectors.
