Thermal Specifications
Notes:
1. Intel Xeon processor 5500 series Low Power SKU Thermal Profile is representative of a volumetrically
constrained platform. Please refer to Table 6-9 for discrete points that constitute the thermal profile.
2. Implementation of Intel Xeon processor 5500 series Low Power SKU Thermal Profile should result in
virtually no TCC activation. Furthermore, utilization of thermal solutions that do not meet Intel Xeon
processor 5500 series Low Power SKU Thermal Profile will result in increased probability of TCC activation
and may incur measurable performance loss.
3. Refer to the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 Series Thermal / Mechanical Design Guide for system and
environmental implementation details.
