3.2.2 Processor Changing/Upgrading

All models use the LGA775 ZIF (Socket T) mounting socket. These systems require that the processor use an integrated heatsink/fan assembly. A replacement processor must use the same type heatsink/fan assembly as the original to ensure proper cooling. The heatsink and attachment clip are specially designed provide maximum heat transfer from the processor component.

CAUTION: Attachment of the heatsink to the processor is critical on these systems. Improper attachment of the heatsink will likely result in a thermal condition. Although the system is designed to detect thermal conditions and automatically shut down, such a condition could still result in damage to the processor component. Refer to the applicable Service Reference Guide for processor installation instructions.

Table 3-1 provides a sample listing of processors supported by these systems.

NOTE:

[1]Standard Intel feature set including EM64T, XD, and EIST support. Refer to www.intel.com for detailed information.

CAUTION: The USDT form factor can support a processor with a maximum power consumption of 65 watts. The SFF and CMT form factors can support a processor with a maximum power consumption of 95 watts. Exceeding these limits can result in system damage and lost data.
