System Overview

2.3.1 Intel Processor Support

The models covered in this guide are designed to support the following processor types:

Intel Celeron: single- and dual-core performance

Intel Pentium Dual-Core: Dual core performance

Intel Core2 Duo: energy-efficient dual-core performance

Intel Core2 Quad: energy efficient quad-core design

These processors are backward-compatible with software written for earlier x86 microprocessors and include streaming SIMD extensions (SSE, SSE2, and SSE3) for enhancing 3D graphics and speech processing performance. Intel processors with vPro Technology include hardware-based tools that allow corporate IT organizations to remotely manage and protect systems.

The system board includes a zero-insertion-force (ZIF) Socket-T designed for mounting an LGA775-type processor package.

CAUTION: The USDT form factor can support a processor rated up to 65 watts. The SFF and CMT form factors can support a processor rated up to 95 watts. Exceeding these limits can result in system damage and loss of data.

The processor heatsink/fan assembly mounting differs between form factors. Always use the same assembly or one of the same type when replacing the processor. Refer to the applicable Service Reference Guide for detailed removal and replacement procedures of the heatsink/fan assembly and the processor.
