2.3 CPU Installation
•UNIVERSAL RETENTION MODULE (URM) INSTALLATION
1. Before installing the UN VERSAL RETENT ON
MODULE, pull the supporting EARs 90o outward
until you hear a Click and both EARs sit upright
in the notches of the main body.
2. nsert the BOARDLOCK BODY into the MA N
BODY. Then turn the BOARDLOCK BODY clock-
wise until it can be turned no more (there is a stop-
per device on the MA N BODY). Then the
BOARDLOCK BODY is secured on the MA N
BODY.
3. Push the BOARDLOCK P Ns all the way down.
The P Ns automatically turn to an angle and lock
inside the BOARDLOCK BODYs. Then pull the
P N back up to the stopper in order for the
BOARDLOCK BODY to be easily inserted into the
PC BOARD. For the ease in installation,
BOARDLOCK BODYs should be inserted into the
UN VERSAL RETENT ON MODULE before it is
installed onto the PC BOARD. Then you only need
to push the BOARDLOCK P Ns all the way down
and the MODULE would be set up tightly on the
PC BOARD.
4. When the UN VERSAL RETENT ON MODULE
is installed on the PC BOARD, move the SL DER
to the LOCK position to lock in the CPU. To re-
move the CPU, push the SL DER down to the
OPEN position to unlock it.

•The Intel Processor Type
A-(the Retention Mechanism)
B-(the Processor Latches)
NOTE:The retention mechanism must support your specific processor. Some retention
mechanism may not support all processors. Contact your mother oard retailers or refer
to your mother oard documentation if you have any questions.
If the Intel Pentium II processor is S.E.C.C package only, push the processor latches [B]
in completely to install.
Carefully slide the proceessor into the retention mechanism and connector.
