64-bit Intel Xeon Processor with 2MB L2 Cache Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines

64-bit Intel® Xeon™ Processor with 2MB L2 Cache Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines 7
1 Introduction
1.1 Objective
To describe the reference thermal solution and design parameters required for 64-bit Intel
®
Xeon™
Processor with 2MB L2 Cache. It is also the intent of this document to comprehend and
demonstrate the processor cooling solution features and requirements. Furthermore, this document
provides an understanding of the processor thermal characteristics, and discusses guidelines for
meeting the thermal requirements imposed on the entire life of the processor. The thermal/
mechanical solutions described in this document are intended to aid component and system
designers in the development and evaluation of processor compatible thermal/mechanical
solutions.
1.2 Scope
The thermal/mechanical solutions described in this document pertain only to a solution(s) intended
for use with the 64-bit Intel Xeon Processor with 2MB L2 Cache in 1U, 2U, 2U+ and workstation
form factors systems. This document contains the mechanical and thermal requirements of the
processor cooling solution. In case of conflict, the data in the 64-bit Intel
®
Xeon™ Processor with
2MB L2 Cache Datasheet supersedes any data in this document. Additional information is
provided as a reference in the appendix section(s).
