EP-6VBA Installation

Section 3-3

Installing a Pentium II or Pentium III Processor

The EP-6VBA uses the Single Edge Contact (SEC) slot for a Pentium® II processor packaged in an SEC cartridge. The SEC slot is not compatible with other non-Pentium II processors.

Please have ready the following list of components so that we may install the processor onto the motherboard.

1.Heat sink support (top/bottom piece)

2.Pentium® II processor heat sink

3.Intel Pentium II Processor

OK, now that you have all of your components ready, we can start.

First, please refer to figure 6 below, and follow the direction to lift up the fixed foldable pentium® II Retention Mechanism. This pre-installed device is designed for you to install Pentium® II CPU more easier and to avoide any damage on the board due to overtightening the four screws.

One thing must be kept in your mind that please make sure to lift upright the foldable parts of the Retention module to fit and install CPU properly.

Now we are going to install the heatsink support base piece (figure 7) onto the motherboard. There is both a large and small hole (figure 8) so that the base will only fit in one direction. This piece needs to be pushed into the holes firmly until it is seated.

Now we are ready to install the SEC Cartridge (Pentium® II Processor) into the Retention Module. The SEC Cartridge is mounted by sliding the SEC Cartridge into the Retention Module and letting it slide all the way down. Once it reaches the bottom make sure you press firmly on SEC cartridge to firmly secure into the Slot 1 Socket.
