System Overview

2.3.1 Intel Processor Support

The models covered in this guide can support an Intel Pentium Dual-Core G6950, Core i3, Core i5, or Core i7 processor. 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 LGA1156-type processor package.

ÄCAUTION: These systems 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.
