Intel recommends the boxed Intel Pentium
(FC-PGA) package for motherboards that utilize the 370-pin socket, and are validated for
these processors. However, if you find it necessary to utilize a "slot-to-socket adapter"
(SSA), [see Figure B] then please be aware of the following critical considerations.
1. The SSA must be recommended for use by the motherboard manufacturer for use with
this specific processor and motherboard combination.
2. The SSA must allow the processor to operate within Intel's electrical, mechanical, and
thermal specifications.
3. Intel does not validate SSAs for use with its branded boards or 3rd-party motherboards.
Severe mechanical and electrical damage may occur to the processor, motherboard, or
both, if these recommendations are not carefully followed.
Intel does not validate 3rd-party motherboard and SSA combinations. Intel has developed
®
further information on the use of SSA's with Intel Desktop Boards. To review this
information, including lists of SSA and Desktop Board combinations which Intel has
evaluated for compliance with minimum functional and voltage requirements of the Intel
Pentium III processor in the Flip-Chip PGA package, please go to http://support.intel.com/
support/processors. The lists provided are not comprehensive and are not a substitute for
complete validation testing.
