3.1 CPU and Heatsink
The cPCI-6841 and cPCI-6841-2 support the Intel® Pentium® M
processor. The heat sink is necessary to help with CPU heat dissi-
pation. Please follow the procedures below to install the CPU and
heat sink. (If the CPU and heat sink are already installed, you may
skip this section.)
CPU Installation
Fully turn the CPU locking screw counter-clockwise as far as it will
go as shown in Figure 3-1: CPU Installation below. Carefully
place the CPU into the CPU socket. Be sure to align the gold trian-
gle on the corner of the chip with the triangular marking in the cor-
ner of the socket. Press down gently on the chip to ensure that it is
securely in place, and then fully turn the CPU locking screw clock-
wise as far as it will go to lock the CPU into position. Peel the
mylar film from the white side of the thermal pad included with the
heatsink kit and place it on the CPU as shown (pink side up). Then
remove the film protecting the top side of the the thermal pad.
