Processor Specification for Operation Where Digital 
Thermal Sensor Exceeds T
CONTROL
When the DTS value is less than T
CONTROL
, the fan speed control algorithm can reduce 
the speed of the thermal solution fan. This remains the same as with the previous 
guidance for fan speed control.
During operation, when the DTS value is greater than T
CONTROL
, the fan speed control 
algorithm must drive the fan speed to meet or exceed the target thermal solution 
performance (Ψ
CA
) shown in 
 for the  Intel
® 
Xeon
®
 processor 3400 series (95 
W), 
 for the Intel
® 
Xeon
®
 processor 3400 series (45W) . To get the full 
acoustic benefit of the DTS specification, ambient temperature monitoring is necessary. 
Notes:
1.
The ambient temperature is measured at the inlet to the processor thermal solution.
2.
This column can be expressed as a function of T
AMBIENT
 by the following equation:
Ψ
CA
 = 0.29 + (45.1 - T
AMBIENT
) x 0.0181
3.
This column can be expressed as a function of T
AMBIENT
 by the following equation:
Ψ
CA
 = 0.29 + (45.1 - T
AMBIENT
) x 0.0105
