BRAVO MS UPGRADE TO PENTIUM PROCESSOR

This is an informational bulletin.

When upgrading the Bravo MS system to a Pentium processor that has a heat 
sink fan, the physical processor unit is too tall to fit under the processor 
bracket.  

The solution is to use a bracket (AST P/N 205419-001) specifically designed 
for Pentium processor upgrades.  The brackets may be purchased from an 
AST Authorized Service Center or by requesting them from AST Spare Parts 
at (800) 727-1278.
