Processor 7000 Sequence Thermal /Mechanical 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 7000 sequence. 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 only to a solution(s) intended
for use with the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7000 sequence in 2U+ form factor systems. This
document contains the mechanical and thermal requirements of the processor cooling solution. In
case of conflict, the data in the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7000 Sequence Datasheet
supersedes any data in this document. Additional information is provided as a reference in the
appendix section(s).
