| Now it is time to attach the heat sink/fan to the Intel Pentium III
processor. It is important to line this up the right way. The
indentation on the heat sink should match up with the white plastic
protruding lip on the socket. Incidentally the blue square in the middle
of all the green is the actual chip. The green is just spacing so that
the pins are not all tight together. |
 |
| The heat sink has a fastener that goes through the heat sink, this
clamp locks into two edges on each side of the FCPGA socket. The first
edge will clamp easily and then to get the second one which secures the
heatsink tightly use a flat bladed screwdriver to push down the clamp
till it locks. I find this one of the trickier parts of installing a
processor. Take care here because if you slip, you risk damaging
mainboard components. |
 |
| Here we attach the electrical wires that connect the heat sink fan to
the mainboard. It is designed to go on only one way. |
 |
| Here we are installing an SDIMM chip. This one is a 128MB module. Note
the two cutouts on the left of the chip, match the protrusions in the
socket itself. When you push down on the chip, the locking clamps on
either side of the socket engage. (click on the picture

Next we installed the AGP Retension Mechanism. This is a really
good part to have, as it will secure an AGP card firmly in the slot. In
the past before these were introduced there were many problems with the
AGP card coming loose. This would prevent the system from booting up.

| This picture shows the secondary IDE cable installed into the
mainboard socket. Note that the red edge of the cable indicates where
pin 1 is. In this case it is on the left. Every motherboard we
have ever seen has a clue somewhere silkscreened (printed) right on the
motherboard that will indicate which side of the socket pin 1 is.
Sometimes it will clearly show a numeral 1 and sometimes there will be a
little triangle pointing to pin 1. These instructions can be hard
to see so look carefully. They will usually also indicate which socket
is primary and which is secondary. |
 |
| Now we have installed the primary IDE cable. Again the red
stripe is oriented to the left and you can clearly see the Intel
supplied cable has a blue end, which helps identify it as an Ultra ATA
cable. |
 |
All three cables are now installed the last one being the floppy
cable. It is not quite as wide as the IDE cables.
