• Eye Definitions — The eye at any point along the data channel is defined to be the 
creation of overlapping of a large number of Unit Interval of the data signal and 
timing width measured with respect to the edges of a separate clock signal at any 
other point. Each differential signal pair by combining the D+ and D- signals 
produces a signal eye.
• 1366-land LGA package — The processor is available in a Land Grid Array (LGA) 
package, consisting of the processor die mounted on a land grid array substrate 
with an integrated heat spreader (IHS).
• Functional Operation — Refers to the normal operating conditions in which all 
processor specifications, including DC, AC, system bus, signal quality, mechanical, 
and thermal, are satisfied.
• Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) — A memory controller that is integrated 
in the processor silicon.
• Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) — A component of the processor package used 
to enhance the thermal performance of the package. Component thermal solutions 
interface with the processor at the IHS surface.
• Intel
®
 64 Architecture — An enhancement to Intel's IA-32 architecture, allowing 
the processor to execute operating systems and applications written to take 
advantage of Intel 64. Further details on Intel 64 architecture and programming 
model can be found at

.
• Intel
®
 QuickPath Interconnect – A cache-coherent, link-based interconnect 
specification for Intel processor, chipset, and I/O bridge components. Sometimes 
abbreviated as Intel QPI.
• Intel® QPI — Abbreviation for Intel® QuickPath Interconnect.
• Intel
®
 Virtualization Technology (Intel
®
 VT) — A set of hardware 
enhancements to Intel server and client platforms that can improve virtualization 
solutions. Intel VT provides a foundation for widely-deployed virtualization 
solutions and enables more robust hardware assisted virtualization solutions. More 
information can be found at:

• Jitter — Any timing variation of a transition edge or edges from the defined Unit 
Interval.
• LGA1366 Socket — The processor (in the LGA-1366 package) mates with the 
system board through this surface mount, 1366-contact socket.
• Mirror Port - Pads located on the top side of the processor package used to 
provide logic analyzer probing access for Intel QPI signal analysis.
• Non-core — The portion of the processor comprising the shared cache, IMC and 
Intel QPI Link interface.
• OEM  Original Equipment Manufacturer.
• Storage Conditions — Refers to a non-operational state. The processor may be 
installed in a platform, in a tray, or loose. Processors may be sealed in packaging or 
exposed to free air. Under these conditions, processor lands should not be 
connected to any supply voltages, have any I/Os biased, or receive any clocks.
• Intel Xeon Processor 5500 Series — The 2S server/workstation product, 
including processor substrate and integrated heat spreader (IHS).
