FMB, or Flexible Motherboard, guidelines provide a design target for meeting all planned processor 
frequency requirements
6.
These values only apply to the B-step of the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5160. For the G-step 
specifications, please refer to 
Notes:
1.
Thermal Profile A is representative of a volumetrically unconstrained platform. Please refer to 
 for 
discrete points that constitute the thermal profile.
2.
Implementation of Thermal Profile A should result in virtually no TCC activation. Furthermore, utilization of 
thermal solutions that do not meet processor Thermal Profile A will result in increased probability of TCC 
activation and may incur measurable performance loss. (See 
 for details on TCC activation). 
3.
Thermal Profile B is representative of a volumetrically constrained platform. Please refer to 
 for 
discrete points that constitute the thermal profile.
4.
Implementation of Thermal Profile B will result in increased probability of TCC activation and measurable 
performance loss. Furthermore, utilization of thermal solutions that do not meet Thermal Profile B do not 
meet the processor’s thermal specifications and may result in permanent damage to the processor.
