Installing a Pentium II Processor
The EP-BXBS 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 proces-
sor onto the motherboard.
1. Heat sink support (top/bottom piece)
` 2. Pentium II processor heat sink & fan
3. Intel Pentium II Processor
OK, now that you have all of your components ready, we can start.
Step 1. First, please refer to figue 8 below and follow the directions to lift up the
fixed foldable Pentium II retention mechanism. This pre-installed device is designed
for you to install the Pentium II CPU more easier and to avoid any damage on the
board due to overtightening the four screws.
Step 2. One thing must be kept in mind that please make sure to lift upright the
foldable parts of the retention module to fit and install the CPU properly.

Step 3. Now we are going to install the heatsink support base piece (figure 9) onto
the motherboard. There is both a large and small hole (figure 10) so that the base
will only fit in one direction. This piece needs to be pushed into the holes firmly until
it is seated.
Step 4. 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.
