NOTE: The following pictures are provided for reference purposes only. The ap-
pearance of your retention mechanism and fan may be different from the following
examples.
Your motherboard provides a Slot 1 connector for a Pentium ® III processor pack-
aged in a Single Edge Contact Cartridge 2 (SECC2), a Pentium ® II processor pack-
aged in SECC, or a Celeron™ processor packaged in a Single Edge Processor Pack-
age (SEPP). An ASUS S370 Series CPU card can allow Socket 370 processors to be
used on any ASUS motherboard with the Slot 1 connector (See 7.2 S370 Series
CPU Card for instructions on using this card).

heatsink and fan (top view) Pentium III (in an SECC2) with heatsink and fan
NOTE: The SEPP fan (for Celeron processors) is
similar to SECC2 fan except that the clamping
design is different.
3.6.1 Quick CPU Installation Procedure
1. Attach the heatsink to the processor with thermal grease and retention clip.
The recommended heatsinks (see section on recommended heatsinks for Pen-
tium III / II processors for more information) for the boxed Pentium III / II and
Celeron processors are those with three-pin fans that can be connected to the fan
connectors on the motherboard.
WARNING! Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s
heatsink by regularly checking that your CPU fan is working. Without sufficient
circulation, the processor could overheat and damage both the processor and the
motherboard. You may install an auxiliary chassis fan, if necessary.
2. Install the Universal Retention Mechanism onto the motherboard.
3. Insert the processor.
