Power specifications are defined at all VID values found in Table  7 -3 . The processor 
may be delivered under multiple VIDs for each frequency. Implementation of a 
specified thermal profile should result in virtually no TCC activation. Failure to comply 
with the specified thermal profile will result in increased probability of TCC activation 
and may incur measurable performance loss. Refer to the 
Intel® Xeon® Processor 
E5-1600 v2/E5-2600 v2/E5-4600 v2 Product Families Thermal/Mechanical Design 
Guide for system and environmental implementation details.
Each case temperature thermal profile is unique to each TDP and core count 
combination. These T
CASE
 profiles are fully defined by the simple linear equation:
T
CASE
 = PSI
CA
 * P + T
LA
Where:
PSI
CA
 is the Case-to-Ambient thermal resistance of the processor thermal solution.
T
LA
 is the Local Ambient nominal temperature.
P is the processor power dissipation.
The Short-Term thermal profile provides for a 15°C rise of temperature above the 
nominal profile due to scenarios such as fan failure or A/C failure. Short-term 
excursions to higher ambient operating temperatures are strictly limited 96 hours per 
instance, 360 hours per year, and a maximum of 15 instances per year as intended by 
NEBS Level 3.
T
LA-ST
 designates the Local Ambient temperature for Short-Term operation.
Ta b l e  5 - 3  provides the 
PSI
CA
 and T
LA 
parameters that define T
CASE 
thermal profile for 
each TDP/Core count combination. Figure 5-3 illustrates the general form of the 
resulting linear graph resulting from
