ASUS Smart Thermal Solutions

ASUS provides two smart solutions to Slot 1 CPU thermal problems: the ASUS
Smart Fan
or ASUS S-P2FAN and the ASUS P2T-Cable.

ASUS S-P2FAN

The optional ASUS Smart Fan or
ASUS S-P2FAN is a CPU fan for a
Pentium

®

II processor packaged in

an SECC. Unlike other CPU thermal
solutions, the ASUS S-P2FAN has
an integrated thermal sensor located near the center of the CPU heat source. The
sensor is optimized by ASUS to give the most accurate reading of the CPU tempera-
ture, thus provides the best protection to your computer system.

To Use the ASUS S-P2FAN

See 2. Attach the Heatsink on the preceding page for the relevant procedures. Note
that the S-P2FAN comes with a rock arm design for easy FAN/CPU installation.

1. Simply peel off the tab from the sensor and then stick the sensor near the middle

edge of the Intel boxed processor heatsink with fan (middle) or to either the
upper or lower edge of the Celeron™ heatsink (right), as indicated.

To Use the ASUS P2T-Cable

NOTE: The following procedures assume that you have properly attached a
heatsink onto an SECC/SECC2/SEPP.

ASUS P2T-Cable

The optional ASUS P2T-Cable can be
used for a Pentium

®

III / II processor

packaged in an SECC/SECC2 or a
Celeron™ processor packaged in an
SEPP .

NOTE: The ASUS P2T-Cable can only be used in a Slot 1 motherboard with a
2-pin thermal sensor connector.
