1. Not all features are available in all editions or versions of Windows. Systems may require
upgraded and/or separately purchased hardware, drivers, software or BIOS update to take
full advantage of Windows functionality. Windows 10 is automatically updated, which is
always enabled. ISP fees may apply and additional requirements may apply over time for
updates. See http://www.windows.com
2. This system is preinstalled with Windows 7 Professional software and also comes with a
license and media for Windows 10 Pro software. You may only use one version of the
Windows software at a time. Switching between versions will require you to uninstall one
version and install the other version. You must back up all data (files, photos, etc.) before
uninstalling and installing operating systems to avoid loss of your data.

The specifications shown in this column represent the maximum turbo frequency with one core active. Turbo boost stepping occurs in 100MHz
increments. Processors that do not have turbo functionality are denoted as N/A.
NOTES:
Integrated Intel® HD graphics P530 is supported on all Intel® Xeon® E3 processors
Intel® Xeon® E3, Intel Core i3 and Intel Pentium processors can support either ECC or non-ECC memory; Intel® Core™ i5/i7
processors only support non-ECC memory.
* Multicore is designed to improve performance of certain software products. Not all customers or software applications will
necessarily benefit from use of this technology. Performance and clock frequency will vary depending on application workload and
your hardware and software configurations. Intel’s numbering is not a measurement of higher performance.
