Hardware Installation

1.Pull the “tabs” which are at the ends of the socket to the side.

2.Position the RIMM above the socket with the “notches” in the module aligned with the “keys” on the socket.

3.Seat the module vertically into the socket. Make sure it is completely seated.The tabs will hold the RIMM in place.

2.3 Processor Installation

The system board is equipped with a 242-pin processor slot (Slot 1). The ends of the slot are installed with the Universal Retention Mechanism (URM). URM is used to hold an Intel® SECC, SECC2 or SEPP processor onto the slot.

Warning:

The processor must be kept cool by using a fan with heatsink. Leave certain space clearances to maintain proper airflow once the processor and heatsink are installed. All cables (for floppy drive, hard drive, CD-ROM, etc.) must be routed clear of the processor and its airspace. Otherwise, the processor will overheat subsequently damaging the processor and the system board.

2.3.1Installing the Processor

1.Position the URM located at each end of Slot 1 into its upright position.
