Power Specification and 
Management
Power management on the Intel
®
 Xeon Phi™ coprocessor is primarily managed via the 
on-board resident coprocessor OS with hardware-controlled functionality. 
shows estimates for coprocessor power states and respective memory power states, 
along with estimates of corresponding card power and wakeup times.
As the Intel
®
 Xeon Phi™ coprocessor is being powered-on, it is expected to draw 
measurable amounts of current from each of the power rails connected to the 
coprocessor card. Below is the current and power drawn from each source during the 
power-on phase of the SE10P/SE10X SKU:
• +12V 2x4 connector: 5.4A (~64W)
A peak current of 7.1A for duration of 40µs
• +12V 2x3 connector: 3A (~36W)
• +12V PCI Express* slot pins: 1.6A (~20W)
• +3.3V PCI Express* slot pins: 1.3A (~5W)
• Measured total power consumption: ~120W
The above power-on measurements were taken with a single coprocessor, using a 
specific open chassis system. It is not indicative of the coprocessor behavior in all types 
of systems in which the coprocessor will be used. The current and power values are 
meant to be guidelines for system power planning, and not specification of the Intel
®
 
Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor.
5.1
5110P SKU Power Options
Most HPC applications running on the 5110P SKU are expected to draw less than 225W, 
but the card is designed to support power surges above 225W. If the power surge goes 
above 236W for more than 300ms, then the SMC on the card will instruct the Intel® 
Xeon Phi™ coprocessor to drop its operating frequency by approximately 100MHz, thus 
reducing power dissipation by approximately 10W. If power surge goes above 245W for 
more than 50ms, then the SMC will assert the PROCHOT_N signal to the coprocessor, 
Table 5-1.
