Removing and Installing a Pentium III Processor

This subsection provides the procedures for removing and installing a
Pentium III processor in your system. The system board has sockets for two
processors. Each Pentium III processor is packaged in a Single Edge Contact
Cartridge Version2 (SECC2). The cartridge includes the processor core with an
integrated 16 KB primary (L1) cache; the secondary (L2) cache and a back
cover. The primary processor connector is shown at
(Figure 4-6, A) in the illustration below. The secondary processor connector is
shown at (Figure 4-6,B).
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components;
place them on an antistatic surface. Modify the system board
using an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground.

If the system has been running, any processor and heat sink
already installed on the board will be hot. To avoid the
possibility of a burn, let the components cool for 10 minutes
