If you are repairing or analyzing the , you are likely dealing with a high-reliability driver designed for longevity. Here is a breakdown of the typical schematic sections and component placement for this series.
Input stage
If you attempt to install a 65W CPU (like an i5-7500 non-T) on this board, the schematic reveals the problem immediately: the IMON (Current Monitor) pin of the VRM controller will trigger a VR_HOT signal, forcing the EC to shut down the board within 2 seconds. ipkbl-sr 35w schematic
