The Intel

Xeon

Processor 7200 Series and 7300 Series requires a thermal solution to
maintain temperatures within its operating limits. Any attempt to operate the processor
outside these operating limits may result in permanent damage to the processor and
potentially other components within the system. As processor technology changes,
thermal management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems.
Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable, long-term system
operation.

Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable, long-term system
operation.
A complete solution includes both component and system level thermal management
features. Component level thermal solutions can include active or passive heatsinks
attached to the processor integrated heat spreader (IHS). Typical system level thermal
solutions may consist of system fans combined with ducting and venting.

Thermal Specifications
To allow the optimal operation and long-term reliability of Intel processor-based
systems, the processor must remain within the minimum and maximum case
temperature (TCASE) specifications as defined by the applicable thermal profile (see

provide this level of thermal capability may affect the long-term reliability of the

The Intel
®
Xeon
®
Processor 7200 Series and 7300 Series implement a methodology for
managing processor temperatures which is intended to support acoustic noise
reduction through fan speed control and to assure processor reliability. Selection of the
appropriate fan speed is based on the relative temperature data reported by the
processor’s Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) bus as described in
reduction through fan speed control and to assure processor reliability. Selection of the
appropriate fan speed is based on the relative temperature data reported by the
processor’s Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) bus as described in
. The temperature reported over PECI is always a negative value and
represents a delta below the onset of thermal control circuit (TCC) activation, as
indicated by PROCHOT# (see
indicated by PROCHOT# (see
, Processor Thermal Features). Systems that
implement fan speed control should be designed to use this data. Systems that do not
alter the fan speed also need to guarantee the case temperature meets the thermal
profile specifications.

) supports a single
Thermal Profile. The Thermal Profile is indicative of a constrained thermal environment
(Ex: 1U form factor). Because of the reduced cooling capability represented by this
solution, the probability of TCC activation and performance loss is increased.
