CHAPTER 2 HARDWARE INSTALLATION Chapter 2 HARDWARE INSTALLATION 2.1 Central Processing Unit: CPU The mainboard operates with Intel® Pentium® II processor. The mainboard uses a CPU Slot called Slot 1 for easy CPU installation and a DIP switch (SW1) to set the proper speed for the CPU. The CPU should always have a Heat Sink and a cooling fan attached to prevent overheating.
CHAPTER 2 HARDWARE INSTALLATION 2.1-1 CPU Installation Procedures There are two kinds of Pentium® II processor that is currently used: the OEM Pentium® II processor and the Boxed Pentium ® II processor. OEM Pentium® II processor has no Heat Sink, Fan and Heat Sink Support, while the Boxed Pentium® II processor is provided with Heat Sink w/ fan and Heat Sink Support. A.
CHAPTER 2 HARDWARE INSTALLATION *Heat Sink Support Pin (HSSPIN) - Plastic pins inserted through the HSSBASE to secure it to the mainboard (2 required per Assembly). *Heat Sink Support Top Bar (HSSTOP) - Plastic bar that clips onto the HSSBASE through the fins on the ATX heatsink. **Heat Sink w/ fan - Heat Sink that can be attached to the Pentium® II processor with metal clip. Note: * Provided by MSI mainboard. ** Provided by Special request.
CHAPTER 2 HARDWARE INSTALLATION Step 1: Insert the Retention Mechanism Attach Mount at the bottom of the mainboard. Step 2: Install the Retention Mechanism.
