10.3.1 Boxed Processor Cooling Requirements
As previously stated the boxed processor will have three thermal solutions available.
Each configuration will require unique design considerations. Meeting the processor’s
temperature specifications is also the function of the thermal design of the entire
system, and ultimately the responsibility of the system integrator. The processor
temperature specifications are found in Chapter 5, “Thermal Management
Specifications” of this document.
10.3.1.1 STS200C (Passive / Active Combination Heat Sink Solution)
The active configuration of the combination solution is designed to help pedestal
chassis users to meet the thermal processor requirements without the use of processor
chassis ducting. However, it is strongly recommended to implement some form of air
duct to meet memory cooling and processor T
LA
temperature requirements. Please
reference the
Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-1600 v2/E5-2400 v2/E5-2600 v2 Product
Families and Intel® C600 Chipset Platform Controller Hub (PCH) in a Pedestal Server
System Design Guide
for an example of system ducting designed to be used with the
active configuration. Use of the active configuration in a 2U rackmount chassis is not
recommended.
In the passive configuration it is assumed that a chassis duct will be implemented.
For a list processor and thermal solution boundary conditions, such as Psi
ca
, T
LA
,
airflow, flow impedance, and so forth, see Table 10-4. It is recommended that the
ambient air temperature outside of the chassis be kept at or below 35
°C. Meeting the
processor’s temperature specification is the responsibility of the system integrator.
This thermal solution is for use with processor SKUs no higher than 150W (10 Core) or
130W (6, 8, and 10 core).
