The ASUS P2L97-DS As Shipped
The ASUS P2L97-DS is shipped with the attach mount bridges already installed.

Installing the Pentium II Processor
1. Mount the Pentium II Retention Mechanism: The retention mechanism is

designed to fit into the SEC slot only one way.

TIP: Orient the mechanism’s lock holes toward the motherboard’s chipset (see moth-
erboard layout for the location of the Intel 440LX AGPset).

Be sure to align the notch in the mechanism with the small rib on one side of the
slot and that the mechanism is properly seated on the board. Then, screw the
captive nuts in place.

WARNING!

Do not overtighten the captive nuts. Doing so could damage your

motherboard. Tighten captive nuts to no more than 6±1 inch/pound.
