    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.
