TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

As is often the case, it depends...
For printed material:
If the sections are numbered then I would say as detailed in Section x.y
If the sections aren't numbered I may use such a phrase just to let the reader knwo that it IS covered
In online help there is no need for it at all. I would say as described in <insert topic name> and make it a link to said topic so the reader can go there straight away if that's what they want. Alternately, depending on the context, it could go as a link in the 'See Also' bit at the end of the topic.
