Intel Active Management Technology requires the computer system to have an Intel AMT-enabled chipset, network hardware and software, as well as connection with a power source and a
corporate network connection. Setup requires configuration by the purchaser and may require scripting with the management console or further integration into existing security frameworks to
enable certain functionality. It may also require modifications of implementation of new business processes. With regard to notebooks, Intel AMT may not be available or certain capabilities may be limited over a host OS-based VPN or when connecting wirelessly, on battery power, sleeping, hibernating or powered off. For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/platformtechnology/intel-amt/.

Intel Anti-Theft Technology — PC Protection. No computer system can provide absolute security under all conditions. Intel Anti-Theft Technology requires the computer system to have an Intel
AT-enabled chipset, BIOS, firmware release, software and an Intel AT-capable Service Provider/ISV application and service subscription. The detection (triggers), response (actions) and recovery
mechanisms only work after the Intel AT functionality has been activated and configured. Certain functionality may not be offered by some ISVs or service providers and may not be available in all countries. Intel assumes no liability for lost or stolen data and/or systems or any other damages resulting thereof.

Intel Turbo Boost Technology available on the Intel Core i7 processor and the Intel Core i5 processor only. Intel Turbo Boost Technology requires a PC with a processor with Intel Turbo Boost
Technology capability. Intel Turbo Boost Technology performance varies depending on hardware, software and overall system configuration. Check with your PC manufacturer on whether your
system delivers Intel Turbo Boost Technology. For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/turboboost.
4
Intel Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel HT Technology) requires a computer system with a processor supporting Intel HT Technology and an Intel HT Technology-enabled chipset, BIOS and
operating system. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use. The Intel Core i5-750 desktop processor does not support Intel HT Technology. For more
information, including details on which processors support Intel HT Technology, see http://www.intel.com/technology/platform-technology/hyper-threading/index.htm.
