Processor/Memory Subsystem

3.2.2 Processor Changing/Upgrading

These systems use the LGA1156 ZIF (Socket T) mounting socket and 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

mechanism 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.

[

CAUTION: These systems can support a processor with a maximum power consumption of 95 watts.

Exceeding these limits can result in system damage and lost data.
