603 Pin Socket Design Guidelines

6. Validation Testing Requirements

This section of the document outlines the tests that must be successfully completed in order for the

supplier's socket to pass the design guidelines validation. It provides the test plan and procedure

required for validation.

contact your Intel field sales representative.

6.2. Testing Facility:

Testing will be performed by Intel's designated test facility.

6.3. Funding:

Socket supplier will fund socket validation testing for their socket. Any additional testing that is

required due to design modifications will also be at the expense of the supplier.

6.4. Socket Design Verification:

At the earliest possible date, a detailed drawing of the socket supplier's 603 Pin Socket must be provided to

Intel for review. This drawing should include all of the features called out in this design guideline (marking,

pinout, cam location, date code location and explanation, etc.) as well as dimensional and board layout

information. This drawing will be used to confirm compliance to this design guideline.

6.5. Reporting:

Test reports of the socket validation testing will be provided directly from the independent test facility

to Intel. Intel will also be given access to contact the test facility directly to obtain socket validation

status, explanation of test results and recommendations based on the test results.

6.6. Process Changes:

Any significant change to the Socket will require submission of a detailed explanation of the change at

least 60 days prior to the planned implementation. Intel will review the modification and establish the

necessary re-validation procedure that the socket must pass. Any testing that is required MUST be

completed before the change is implemented.
