III. INSTALLATION

Recommended Heatsinks

The recommended heatsinks for the Pentium II processor are those with three-pin
fans that can be connected to the CPU fan connector on the motherboard. These
heatsinks have the added benefits of proper heat dissipation and with the LM78
hardware monitor, the ability to monitor the fan’s RPM and use the alert function
through the included LANDesk Client Manager (LDCM) software.

IMPORTANT: The heatsinks must not be more than 2.8 cm (1.1 inch) thick.

Elan Vital Heatsink

The procedures for installing the Elan Vital heatsink with fan is also similar as that for
the AAVID heatsink. The Elan Vital heatsink, however, comes with a lever to clamp
the heatsink into the SEC cartridge. Mount the heatsink in the orientation as shown
then flip the lever from “Unlock” to “Lock.”
