4. Installing the CPU and Cooling Fan
Pentium II or Pentium III processors (233 through 500MHz) can be used on the
Tiger 100. Please refer to page 15 for the correct CPU jumper settings for your
board. Remember:
The CPU is a sensitive electronic component and it can easily be damaged
·
by static electricity. Do not touch the CPU pins with your fingers.
Before the CPU is installed, the motherboard must be placed on a
·
important!
flat surface. You should be able to insert the CPU with minimal, but
firm, pressure. Do not press down hard on the CPU.
Currently, two types of cooling mechanisms are produced for Pentium II
processors: active (figure 2-6a) and passive (figure 2-6b). These two types of
cooling methods essentially perform the same function. The active cooler is
equipped with a cooling fan and heat sink, while the passive cooler is simply a
larger heat sink with no fan. The type of cooler used has no effect on perfor-
mance, and both types can be installed in the Slot 1 connector on the Tiger 100
board.
Installing CPU Retention Modules
Installation of a Pentium II processor requires a CPU retention module, which
is first secured onto the motherboard. Tyan offers a variety of retention
mechanisms for the different CPU types. See Appendix 1 for options.
Installation of SECC2 CPUs (Figure 2-7) with the
retention modules require a little more attention
and care. Instructions for SECC2 CPU installation
can be found on pages 26-29.
