enabled 2U heatsink). In this scenario, it is expected that the Thermal Control Circuit 
(TCC) would only be activated for very brief periods of time when running the most 
power intensive applications. Intel has developed the thermal profile to allow 
customers to choose the thermal solution and environmental parameters that best suit 
their platform implementation. Refer to the Intel® Xeon® Processor 7400 Series 
Thermal Mechanical Design Guide 
for details on system thermal solution design, 
thermal profiles and environmental considerations.
The Intel® Xeon® Processor E7400 Series (see 
Xeon® Processor L7400 Series (see 
) supports a single Thermal 
Profile. The Thermal Profiles are indicative of a constrained thermal environment 
(Ex: 1U form factor). Because of the reduced cooling capability represented by this 
solution, the probability of TCC activation and performance loss is increased. 
Additionally, utilization of a thermal solution that does not meet the Thermal Profile will 
violate the thermal specifications and may result in permanent damage to the 
processor. Refer to the Intel® Xeon® Processor 7400 Series Thermal Mechanical 
Design Guide
 for details on system thermal solution design, thermal profiles and 
environmental considerations.
The upper point of the thermal profile consists of the Thermal Design Power (TDP) and 
the associated T
CASE
 value. It should be noted that the upper point associated with 
Intel® Xeon® X7460 Processor Thermal Profile (x = TDP and y = T
CASE_MAX
 P @ TDP) 
represents a thermal solution design point. In actuality the processor case temperature 
will not reach this value due to TCC activation (see 
 for the Intel® Xeon® 
X7460 Processor).
Analysis indicates that real applications are unlikely to cause the processor to consume 
maximum power dissipation for sustained time periods. Intel recommends that 
complete thermal solution designs target the Thermal Design Power (TDP) instead of 
the maximum processor power consumption. The Intel Thermal Monitor feature is 
intended to help protect the processor in the event that an application exceeds the TDP 
recommendation for a sustained time period. For more details on this feature, refer to 
. To ensure maximum flexibility for future requirements, systems should be 
designed to the Flexible Motherboard (FMB) guidelines, even if a processor with lower 
power dissipation is currently planned. Intel Thermal Monitor or Intel Thermal 
Monitor 2 feature must be enabled for the processor to remain within its 
specifications.
