2.1 Installing the Processor
The Intel

C
ore™ i7/i5/i3 processors are available as a boxed processor for the MVS900
system. Intel recommends the processors should be installed by a qualified computer
professional since this electronic device may cause serious damage to the installer, system
and processor if installed improperly.
Important Notes Before attempting to install a new processor, carefully review the documentation
that came with your system and make sure that you will not be voiding your warranty by opening
the computer or replacing your processor.
Instructions:
1. Make sure that your system can accommodate the Intel
®
Core™ i7/i5/i3/Celeron
®
processors that you want to install. Check for CPU Card, BIOS, and thermal compatibility
by using the manufacturer's documentation for the system, or by contacting the vendor if
necessary. The processor should only be installed in systems supporting the Intel
®
Core
™
i7/i5/i3/Celeron
®
processors.

system.

to remove it. Instructions on how to remove your cooling solution should be provided in
the documentation that came with the system.
