Chapter 3: Installing the Micronics C400
CPU Installation
The Micronics C400 is designed to support single Pentium
II processors. The Pentium II processor comes installed
in a Single Edge Contact (SEC) cartridge that connects
into "Slot 1" on the system board.
A Retention Mechanism is supplied to anchor the pro-
cessor to the system board. Attach the Retention Mecha-
nism before inserting the processor.
Installing the CPU Retention Mechanism
Before you begin, verify that your Retention Mechanism
Kit contains the following items:
Retention Base (black plastic module)
Support Bridges with Studs (plastic
mounts).
Follow the steps below to install the kit:
1. Locate the four Retention Base holes (near each end
of the Slot 1 socket). Insert the two Support Bridges
with studs (plastic mounts) from the bottom side of
the Micronics C400 toward the component side
until they snap into place.
