Intel® Xeon® Processor 3500 Series Datasheet Volume 1 

To protect platforms from potential operational or safety issues due to an abnormal 
condition on PECI, the Host controller should take action to protect the system from 
possible damaging states. If the Host controller cannot complete a valid PECI 
transactions of GetTemp0() with a given PECI device over 3 consecutive failed 
transactions or a one second max specified interval, then it should take appropriate 
actions to protect the corresponding device and/or other system components from 
overheating. The host controller may also implement an alert to software in the event 
of a critical or continuous fault condition. 

The error codes supported for the processor GetTemp() command are listed in 

.

Environmental storage condition limits define the temperature and relative humidity 
limits to which the device is exposed to while being stored. The specified storage 
conditions are for component level prior to board attach (see following notes on post 
board attach limits).

 specifies absolute maximum and minimum storage temperature limits which 

represent the maximum or minimum device condition beyond which damage, latent or 
otherwise, may occur. The table also specifies sustained storage temperature, relative 
humidity, and time-duration limits. At conditions outside sustained limits, but within 
absolute maximum and minimum ratings, quality & reliability may be affected.

1.

Refers to a component device that is not assembled in a board or socket that is not to be electrically 

connected to a voltage reference or I/O signals. 

2.

Specified temperatures are based on data collected. Exceptions for surface mount reflow are specified in by 

applicable JEDEC standard and MAS document. Non-adherence may affect processor reliability.
