S.E.C. Cartridge Terminology
The following terms are used often in this document and are explained here for clarification:
•
®
Pentium
II Processor — The entire product including internal components, substrate,
thermal plate and cover.
•
S.E.C. Cartridge — The new processor packaging technology is called a "Single Edge
Contact cartridge."
•
Processor Substrate —The structure on which the components are mounted inside the
S.E.C. cartridge (with or without components attached).
•
Processor Core — The processor's execution engine.
•
Thermal Plate — The surface used to connect a heatsink or other thermal solutions to
the processor.
•
Cover — The processor casing on the opposite side of the thermal plate.
•
Latch Arms — A processor feature that can be utilized as a means for securing the
processor in the retention mechanism.
Additional terms referred to in this and other related documentation:
•
Slot 1 — The connector that the S.E.C. cartridge plugs into, just as the Pentium
processor uses Socket 8.
•
Retention Mechanism — A mechanical piece which holds the package in the Slot 1
connector.
•
Heatsink Support — The support pieces that are mounted on the motherboard to
