Power Segment Identifier (PSID) is a mechanism to prevent booting under mismatched 
power requirement situations. The PSID mechanism enables BIOS to detect if the 
processor in use requires more power than the platform voltage regulator (VR) is 
capable of supplying. For example, a 130W TDP processor installed in a board with a 
65W or 95W TDP capable VR may draw too much power and cause a potential VR issue. 

 specifies absolute maximum and minimum ratings only and lie outside the 

functional limits of the processor. Within functional operation limits, functionality and 

long-term reliability can be expected.

At conditions outside functional operation condition limits, but within absolute 

maximum and minimum ratings, neither functionality nor long-term reliability can be 

expected. If a device is returned to conditions within functional operation limits after 

having been subjected to conditions outside these limits, but within the absolute 

maximum and minimum ratings, the device may be functional, but with its lifetime 

degraded depending on exposure to conditions exceeding the functional operation 

condition limits.

At conditions exceeding absolute maximum and minimum ratings, neither functionality 

nor long-term reliability can be expected. Moreover, if a device is subjected to these 

conditions for any length of time then, when returned to conditions within the 

functional operating condition limits, it will either not function, or its reliability will be 

severely degraded.

Although the processor contains protective circuitry to resist damage from static 

electric discharge, precautions should always be taken to avoid high static voltages or 

electric fields.

NOTES:
1.

For functional operation, all processor electrical, signal quality, mechanical and thermal 
specifications must be satisfied.

2.

Overshoot and undershoot voltage guidelines for input, output and I/O signals are outlined 
in 

. Excessive overshoot or undershoot on any signal will likely result in 

permanent damage to the processor.

3.

Storage temperature is applicable to storage conditions only. In this scenario, the 
processor must not receive a clock, and no lands can be connected to a voltage bias.
