Shuttle SK41G AGP for AMD ...... and it's all in a cube
(Review by MS, January 13, 2003)

Installation

Physical installation of the processor and other necessities like HDD, DVD-ROM, follows some very simple steps that are common for all XPCs and that include:

Taking off the cover after removing the three thumb screws in the back.
removing the two small screws on top that hold the drive bay insert.
taking out the drive bay insert.

After those steps, everything is readily accessible.

After removal of the cover, almost everything is accessible. The next step involves removing of the two screws indicated by the red arrows and then taking out the entire drive bay assembly. The insert shows the red jumper (JP2) (listed on the sticker on the PCI slot) to specify 100 or 133 MHz FSB operation (Duron / Athlon).

The entire drive bay assembly is removable. Taking off the cover plates requires removing two more screws each on the sides of the assembly..
