important! • The CPU is a sensitive electronic component and it can easily be damaged by static electricity. Do not touch the CPU pins with your fingers.
•Before the CPU is installed, the motherboard must be placed on a flat surface. You should be able to insert the CPU with minimal, but firm, pressure. Do not press down hard on the CPU.
Currently, Intel produces two types of Pentium II processors: the active (or boxed) processor and the passive processor (see Figures 11 and 12 on the next page). These two types of processors are essentially the same in design; the only difference lies in their cooling methods. The active processor is equipped with a cooling fan and heat sink, while the passive processor is equipped with a heat sink alone. Both types of CPUs provide the user with the same perfor- mance, and both types can be installed in the Pentium II slot on the Tiger 100 board.
