P6LX-A User's Manual
2: Using Your Mainboard – 2.13
1. Take precautions against static electric discharge before you
start. It is best to have an anti-static surface to place the main-
board on while you work on it and also an anti-static wrist
strap. If you don't have an anti-static surface to work on, place
the board on the anti-static bag it comes in. If you don't have
a wrist-strap (inexpensive and available at electronics stores),
try to touch something metal, perhaps the system case, before
you touch the mainboard.
2. The two mounting brackets insert through the mounting holes
in the mainboard. The holes are at the four corners of the Slot
1 CPU slot. Press the two mounting bolts on each bracket
through the holes in the mainboard so that they protrude
through the board. You may need to push a little to seat them.
3. The module slides over the Slot 1 CPU slot. You have to ori-
ent it correctly for it to sit flat on the mainboard. Look at the
left end of the slot (as in the mainboard illustration in Section
1). There is an orientation foot on the slot that slides into the
orientation notch on the retention module. Look at the mod-
ule and find the notch. Orient the module to the CPU slot.
4. Slide the retention module over the CPU slot. If you have it
oriented correctly it will slide on easily and sit flat on the board.
The retaining nuts mounted in the module should fit over the
mounting bolts that protrude through the mainboard.
5. Secure the retention module to the mainboard by screwing
the retaining nuts down with a screwdriver. The module should
be secure, but don't overtighten the nuts.
There are receptacles at the top of the guide rails that the
mounting latches on the Pentium II fit into. When you install the
CPU the latches should snap into the receptacles. Follow the Intel
instructions that come with the Pentium II to install the CPU
properly.
