LIMITED WARRANTY
If you are a consumer under the Australian Consumer Law, this warranty does not apply to you. Please visit http://www.intel.com/
support/processors/sb/CS-009862.htm to view the limited warranty which is applicable to Australian consumers.
Intel warrants to the purchaser of the Product (dened herein as the boxed Intel® processor) in its original sealed packaging (“Original
Purchaser”) and to the purchaser of a computer system built by an Original Purchaser containing the Product (“Original System Customer”)
as follows: if the Product is properly used and installed, it will be free from defects in material and workmanship, and will substantially
conform to Intel’s publicly available specications for a period of three (3) years beginning on the date the Product was purchased in its
original sealed packaging in the case of an Original Purchaser, and for a period of three (3) years beginning on the date of purchase of a
computer system containing the Product for an Original System Customer. If the Product, which is the subject of this Limited Warranty,
fails to conform to the above warranty during the warranty period, Intel, at its option, will:
REPAIR the Product by means of hardware and/or software; OR
REPLACE the Product with another product; OR, if Intel is unable to repair or replace the Product,
REFUND the then-current value of the Product at the time a claim for warranty service is made to Intel under this Limited Warranty.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES THAT MAY EXIST UNDER APPLICABLE STATE, NATIONAL, PROVINCIAL
OR LOCAL LAW, APPLY ONLY TO YOU AS THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER OF THE PRODUCT OR COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT INCLUDES THE
PRODUCT AND LASTS ONLY FOR AS LONG AS YOU CONTINUE TO OWN THE PRODUCT. WARRANTY COVERAGE TERMINATES IF THE
ORIGINAL SYSTEM CUSTOMER SELLS OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERS THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WHICH INCLUDES THE PRODUCT.
WARNING: Altering clock frequency and/or voltage may: (i) reduce system stability and useful life of the system and processor; (ii)
cause the processor and other system components to fail; (iii) cause reductions in system performance; (iv) cause additional heat or other
damage; and (v) affect system data integrity. Intel has not tested, and does not warranty, the operation of the processor beyond its
specications. Intel assumes no responsibility that the processor, including if used with altered clock frequencies and/or voltages, will be
t for any particular purpose.
EXTENT OF LIMITED WARRANTY
Intel does not warrant that the Product will be free from design defects or errors known as “errata.” Current characterized errata are avail-
able upon request. Further, this Limited Warranty does NOT cover:
• any costs associated with the repair or replacement of the Product including labor, installation or other costs incurred by you, and in
particular, any costs relating to the removal or replacement of any Product that is soldered or otherwise permanently afxed to any
printed circuit board; OR
• damage to the Product due to external causes, including accident, problems with electrical power, abnormal electrical, mechanical or
environmental conditions, usage not in accordance with product instructions, misuse, neglect, alteration, repair, improper installation,
or improper testing; OR
• any Product which has been modied or operated outside of Intel’s publicly available specications or where the original identica-
tion markings (trademark or serial number) has been removed, altered or obliterated from the Product.
HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE
To obtain warranty service for the Product (whether purchased in its original sealed packaging or as part of a computer system), you may
contact your original place of purchase in accordance with its instructions or you may contact Intel.
To request warranty service from Intel, you must contact the Intel Customer Support (“ICS”) center in your region within the warranty
period during normal business hours (local time), excluding holidays and return the Product (the boxed Intel® processor) to the designated
ICS center. (See back cover for information regarding how to contact ICS in your region.) Please be prepared to provide: (1) your name,
mailing address, email address and telephone numbers; (2) proof of purchase; (3) model name and product identication number found on
the Product; (4) if applicable, a description of the computer system including the brand and model; and (5) an explanation of the problem.
The ICS representative may need additional information from you depending on the nature of the problem.
Upon ICS’s verication that the Product is eligible for warranty service, you will be issued a Return Material Authorization (“RMA”) number
and provided with instructions for returning the Product to the designated ICS center. When you return the Product to the ICS center,
you must include the RMA number on the outside of the package. Intel will not accept any returned Product without an RMA number,
or that has an invalid RMA number, on the package. You must deliver the returned Product to the designated ICS center in the original
or equivalent packaging, with shipping charges pre-paid, and assume the risk of damage or loss during shipment. Freight charges and/or
handling fees may apply if the Product for which you are requesting warranty services was not sold via authorized distribution in your
country/Region. (For a denition of country/Region, contact the ICS center in your region or go to www.intel.com/support.)
Intel may elect to repair or replace the Product with either a new or reconditioned Product or components, as Intel deems appropriate. The
repaired or replaced product will be shipped to you at the expense of Intel within a reasonable period of time after receipt of the returned
Product by ICS. The returned Product shall become Intel’s property on receipt by ICS. The replacement product is warranted under this
