Be sure to align the notch in the mechanism with the small rib on one side of the slot. Screw the captive nuts (encircled) in place. WARNING! Do not overtighten the captive nuts. Doing so could damage your CPU card. Tighten captive nuts to no more than 6±1 inch/pound. III. INSTALLATION (CPU) 14 4. Mount the Heatsink: Place the SEC cartridge face down on a flat surface and lay the heatsink flush on the back (metal side) of the SEC cartridge. Check the orientation of the heatsink against the pictures below. The thicker fin must be on the bottom. The top clamp is wider than the bottom clamp so only this orientation will fit. With a screw driver, push the clamps one at a time into the SEC cartridge. Be sure that the heatsink is firmly pressed against the the SEC cartridge. When correctly installed, no light must be showing through between the thermal pad of the heatsink and the SEC cartridge. WARNING! If the heatsink is not mounted tightly against the SEC cartridge, the CPU will overheat. Be sure that sufficient air circulation is available across the SEC cartridge's passive heatsink. Without sufficient air circulation, the SEC cartridge could overheat and damage both the SEC cartridge and the baseboard. You may install an auxiliary fan, if necessary. Push each end of the clamps until they lock Push Clamp Lock Lock Push Clamp The Thermal Pad & SEC cartridge should not have a gap! SEC Cartridge with Heatsink (Side) SEC Cartridge with Heatsink (Top) ASUS C-PKND User's Manual III. INSTALLATION The heatsinks shown in this manual are for reference purposes only. The recommend heatsinks for the Pentium II processor have a three-pin fan that can be connected to one of the CPU fan connectors on the CPU card or baseboard. These heatsinks have the added benefits of proper heat dissipation and, with baseboards that have the LM78 smart features and with the CPU fan leads connected into the baseboard's CPU fan connector, the ability to monitor the fan's RPM and use the alert function through the included LANDesk Client Manager (LDCM) software (available with the baseboard). This smart feature is not available when you connect the leads into the CPU card's fan connectors. AAVID Heatsink The procedures for installing the AAVID heatsink with fan is similar as that for the heatsink without a fan. You will not, however, be able to use the heatsink support top bar because of the fan. The heatsink support top bar will, however, still be included in the package, in case you use a heatsink without a fan. Elan Vital Heatsink The procedures for installing the Elan Vital heatsink with fan is also similar as that for the heatsink without a fan. 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." You will not be able to also use the heatsink support top bar because of the fan. The heatsink support top bar will, however, still be included in the package, in case you use a heatsink without a fan. ASUS C-PKND User's Manual 15 III. INSTALLATION (CPU) III. INSTALLATION 5.
