9.3.1.1
STS100C (Passive / Active Combination Heat Sink Solution)
Active Configuration:
The active configuration of the combination solution is designed to help pedestal 
chassis users to meet the thermal processor requirements without the use of chassis 
ducting. It may be still be necessary to implement some form of chassis air guide or air 
duct to meet the T
LA
 temperature of 40 
C depending on the pedestal chassis layout. 
Use of the active configuration in a 2U rackmount chassis is not recommended.
It is recommended that the ambient air temperature outside of the chassis be kept at 
or below 35 
C. The air passing directly over the processor thermal solution should not 
be preheated by other system components. Meeting the processor’s temperature 
specification is the responsibility of the system integrator.
This thermal solution is for use with 95 W and 130 W TDP processor SKUs.
Passive Configuration:
In the passive configuration it is assumed that a chassis duct will be implemented. 
Processors with a TDP of 130W or 95W must provide a minimum airflow of 30 CFM at 
0.205 in. H
2
O (51 m
3
/hr at 51.1 Pa) of flow impedance. For processors with a TDP of 
130W it is assumed that a 40 °C T
LA
 is met. This requires a superior chassis design to 
limit the T
RISE
 at or below 5°C with an external ambient temperature of 35°C. For 
processors with a TDP of 95W it is assumed that a 55 °C T
LA
 is met. 
9.3.1.2
STS100A (Active Heat Sink Solution) (Pedestal only)
This active solution is designed to help pedestal chassis users to meet the thermal 
processor requirements without the use of chassis ducting. It may be still be necessary 
to implement some form of chassis air guide or air duct to meet the T
LA
 temperature of 
40
C depending on the pedestal chassis layout. Use of this active solution in a 2U 
rackmount chassis has not been validated.
It is recommended that the ambient air temperature outside of the chassis be kept at 
or below 35 
C. The air passing directly over the processor thermal solution should not 
be preheated by other system components. Meeting the processor’s temperature 
specification is the responsibility of the system integrator.
This thermal solution is for use with processor SKUs no higher than 80 W.
9.3.1.3
STS100P (25.5 mm Tall Passive Heat Sink Solution) (Blade + 1U + 2U 
Rack)
This passive solution is intended for use in SSI Blade, 1U or 2U rack configurations. It is 
assumed that a chassis duct will be implemented in all configurations. 
Processors with a TDP of 95 W must provide a minimum airflow of 16 CFM at 0.40 in. 
H2O (27.2 m3/hr at 99.5 Pa) of flow impedance.  It is assumed that a TLA of 49°C is 
met for 95 W processor installations.  This requires a chassis design to limit the TRISE 
at or below 14°C with an external ambient temperature of 35°C.  Under these 
conditions, only Thermal Profile B will be supported.  If Thermal Profile A support is 
desired for processors with a TDP of 95 W a 2U configuration with a chassis duct is 
recommended. A TLA of <40°C is required. This requires a superior chassis design to 
limit the TRISE below 5°C with an external ambient temperature of 35°C.
