Electrical Specifications
series is defined by the VRM 9.1 DC-DC Converter Design Guidelines. The voltage set 
by the CVID pins is the maximum V
CACHE
 voltage allowed by the processor. A minimum 
V
CACHE
 voltage is provided in 
.
Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series with the same front side bus frequency, 
internal cache sizes, and stepping will have consistent CVID values.
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series uses four voltage identification pins 
(CVID[3:0]) to support automatic selection of power supply voltages. 
specifies the voltage level corresponding to the state of CVID[3:0]. A ‘1’ in this table 
refers to a high voltage level and a ‘0’ refers to a low voltage level. If the processor 
socket is empty (in a single processor per regulator design), or if both processor 
sockets are empty (in a two processors per regulator design), or the voltage regulation 
circuit cannot supply the voltage that is requested, the processor’s voltage regulator 
must disable itself. See the VRM 9.1 DC-DC Converter Design Guidelines for more 
details.
Note:
The voltage regulator will have a fifth VID input and, for VRM 10.2-compliant regulators, a sixth VID 
input as well. The extra input(s) should be tied to a high voltage on the motherboard for correct 
operation. Refer to the appropriate platform design guide for further implementation details.
2.4
Reserved, Unused, and TESTHI Pins
All RESERVED pins must be left unconnected. Connection of these pins to V
CC
, V
SS
, or 
to any other signal (including each other) can result in component malfunction or 
incompatibility with future processors. See 
Section 5
 for a pin listing for the processor 
and the location of all RESERVED pins.
For reliable operation, always terminate unused inputs or bidirectional signals to their 
respective deasserted states. On-die termination has been included on the Dual-Core 
Intel Xeon processor 7100 series to allow signals to be terminated within the processor 
Table 2-5.
