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 monitoring programs such as LDCM and ASMM.

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

AAVID Heatsink

Elan Vital Heatsink

The procedures for installing the Elan Vital heatsink with fan is also similar to the
steps for installing 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.”
