Processor/Memory Subsystem

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.
