NOTE: The following pictures are provided for reference purposes only. The appearance of your retention mechanism and fan may be different from the following examples.

Your motherboard provides a Slot 1 connector for a Pentium® III processor packaged in a Single Edge Contact Cartridge 2 (SECC2), a Pentium® II processor packaged in SECC, or a Celeron™ processor packaged in a Single Edge Processor Package (SEPP). An ASUS S370 Series CPU card can allow Socket 370 processors to be used on ASUS motherboards with a Slot 1 connector. (See 7.1 ASUS S370 Series CPU Cards for instructions on using this card.)

NOTE: The SEPP fan (for Celeron processors) is

 

similar to SECC2 fan except that the clamping

 

design is different.

3.6.1 Quick CPU Installation Procedure

1.Attach the heatsink to the processor with thermal grease and retention clip. The recommended heatsinks (see section on recommended heatsinks for Pen- tium III / II processors for more information) for the boxed Pentium III / II and Celeron processors are those with three-pin fans that can be connected to the fan connectors on the motherboard.

WARNING! Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s heatsink by regularly checking that your CPU fan is working. Without sufficient circulation, the processor could overheat and damage both the processor and the motherboard. You may install an auxiliary chassis fan, if necessary.

2.Install the Universal Retention Mechanism onto the motherboard.3.Insert the processor.
