2 IPDT Test System Requirements
Multiprocessor Systems
The Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool is compatible with multiprocessor systems. It is
essential that only one Intel® processor is tested at a time in this system
configuration. Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool does not support multiple processors
inserted into a multiprocessor system configuration.
Motherboard & Processor
It is essential that the motherboard you use to test your processor is fully compatible
with your Intel® processor. Consult your motherboard manufacturer’s support to
ensure the motherboard supports your processor. If you are using an Intel®
Motherboard please use this utility Intel® Processors and Boards Compatibility Tool
Motherboard BIOS
It is essential that the motherboards BIOS is at the minimum BIOS revision specified
to support your Intel® processor. Consult your motherboard manufacturer’s support
to ensure the BIOS revision is at the correct revision.
Motherboard Architecture
IPDT is only compatible with motherboards built using Intel® Architecture.
Over-Clocking
Over-Clocking should be disabled while running Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool.
Power Management
Some power management features (e.g. Intel SpeedStep® technology) throttle or
reduce the operating frequency of components within the system. These types of
power management features may result in very low tested frequency results. This
does not mean that the processor is operating at degraded performance levels. It
means that the enabled power management feature is optimizing the efficiency of the
processor, either to save power or reduce heat within the system.
We recommend you disable any power management features such as Intel
SpeedStep® technology and configure your system to its optimal power management
settings, when running Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool. For instructions on how to
disable these power management features, please contact your system manufacturer.
