Processor 2.80 GHz Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines 7
1 Introduction
1.1 Objective
The purpose of this guide is to describe the reference thermal solution and design parameters
required for the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 2.80 GHz. 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
solutions.
1.2 Scope
The thermal/mechanical solutions described in this document pertain to solutions intended for use
with the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 2.80 GHz in 1U and 2U+ form factor systems. This
document contains the mechanical and thermal requirements of the processor cooling solutions. In
case of conflict, the data in the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 2.80 GHz Datasheet
supersedes any data in this document. Additional information is provided as a reference in the
appendix section(s).
