Installing the Pentium II Processor

1.Mount the Pentium II Retention Mechanism: The retention mechanism is designed to fit into the SEC slot only one way.

TIP: Orient the mechanism’s lock holes toward the motherboard’s chipset (see motherboard layout for the location of the Intel 440LX AGPset).

Be sure to align the notch in the mechanism with the small rib on one side of the slot and that the mechanism is properly seated on the board. Then, screw the captive nuts in place.

WARNING! Do not overtighten the captive nuts. Doing so could damage your motherboard. Tighten captive nuts to no more than 6±1 inch/pound.
