LGA1366 Socket
This section describes a surface mount, LGA (Land Grid Array) socket intended for the
Intel ® Xeon ® processor C5500/C3500 series in the Picket Post platform. The socket provides I/O, power and ground contacts. The socket contains 1366 contacts arrayed about a cavity in the center of the socket with lead-free solder balls for surface mounting on the motherboard.
The socket has 1366 contacts with 1.016 mm X 1.016 mm pitch (X by Y) in a 43 x 41 grid array with 21 x 17 grid depopulation in the center of the array and selective depopulation elsewhere.
The socket must be compatible with the package (processor) and the Independent
Loading Mechanism (ILM). The design includes a back plate which is integral to having a uniform load on the socket solder joints. Socket loading specifications are listed in

Board Layout
The land pattern for the LGA1366 socket is 40 mils X 40 mils (X by Y), and the pad size is 18 mils. There is no round-off (conversion) error between socket pitch (1.016 mm) and board pitch (40 mil) because these values are equivalent.
In general, metal defined (MD) pads perform better than solder mask defined (SMD) pads under thermal cycling, and SMD pads perform better than MD pads under dynamic stress. Recommendations for pad definition on a per pad basis do not exist for the LGA1366 socket.
The 40 mil spacing results in a reduced drill keepout as compared to previous platforms. Drill keepout is explained in section 3.2.1 of the Intel ® Xeon ® 5500 Platform
Design Guide (PDG). Select PCB suppliers are capable of producing 40 mil spacing.

Attachment to Motherboard
The socket is attached to the motherboard by 1366 solder balls. There are no additional external methods (i.e. screw, extra solder, adhesive, etc.) to attach the socket. As
indicated in Figure 3-4 , the Independent Loading Mechanism (ILM) is not present
during the attach (reflow) process.
Figure 3-4. Attachment to Motherboard

3.3.1
3.3.2
Socket Components
The socket has two main components, the socket body and Pick and Place (PnP) cover,
and is delivered as a single integral assembly. See Appendix C for detailed drawings.
Socket Body Housing
The housing material is thermoplastic or equivalent with UL 94 V-0 flame rating capable of withstanding 260°C for 40 seconds (typical reflow/rework). The socket coefficient of thermal expansion (in the XY plane), and creep properties, must be such that the
integrity of the socket is maintained for the conditions listed in Section 8 .
The color of the housing will be dark as compared to the solder balls. This provides the contrast needed for pick and place vision systems.
Solder Balls
A total of 1366 solder balls corresponding to the contacts are on the bottom of the socket for surface mounting with the motherboard.
The socket has the following solder ball material:
• Lead free SAC (SnAgCu) solder alloy with a silver (Ag) content between 3% and
4% and a melting temperature of approximately 217°C. The alloy must be compatible with immersion silver (ImAg) motherboard surface finish and a SAC alloy solder paste.
The co-planarity (profile) and true position requirements are defined in Appendix C
.

3.3.3
Contacts
Base material for the contacts is high strength copper alloy.
For the area on socket contacts where processor lands will mate, there is a 0.381 μm
[15 μinches] minimum gold plating over 1.27 μm [50 μinches] minimum nickel underplate.
No contamination by solder in the contact area is allowed during solder reflow.
3.3.4
Pick and Place Cover
The cover provides a planar surface for vacuum pick up used to place components in the Surface Mount Technology (SMT) manufacturing line. The cover remains on the socket during reflow to help prevent contamination during reflow. The cover can withstand 260° C for 40 seconds (typical reflow/rework profile) and the conditions
listed in Section 6 without degrading.
, the cover remains on the socket during ILM installation, and should remain on whenever possible to help prevent damage to the socket contacts.
Cover retention must be sufficient to support the socket weight during lifting, translation, and placement (board manufacturing), and during board and system shipping and handling.
The covers are designed to be interchangeable between socket suppliers. As indicated
in Figure 3-5 , a Pin1 indicator on the cover provides a visual reference for proper
orientation with the socket.

Package Installation / Removal
As indicated in Figure 3-6 , access is provided to facilitate manual installation and
removal of the package.
To assist in package orientation and alignment with the socket:
• The package Pin1 triangle and the socket Pin1 chamfer provide visual reference for proper orientation.
• The package substrate has orientation notches along two opposing edges of the package, offset from the centerline. The socket has two corresponding orientation posts to physically prevent mis-orientation of the package. These orientation features also provide initial rough alignment of package to socket.
• The socket has alignment walls at the four corners to provide final alignment of the package.

Socket Standoffs and Package Seating Plane
Standoffs on the bottom of the socket base establish the minimum socket height after solder reflow and are specified in
Similarly, a seating plane on the topside of the socket establishes the minimum
package height. See Section 5.2
for the calculated IHS height above the motherboard.

The socket Pick and Place cover must withstand 15 cycles of insertion and removal.
Markings
There are three markings on the socket:
• LGA1366: Font type is Helvetica Bold - minimum 6 point (2.125 mm).
• Manufacturer's insignia (font size at supplier's discretion).
• Lot identification code (allows traceability of manufacturing date and location).
All markings must withstand 260° C for 40 seconds (typical reflow/rework profile) without degrading, and must be visible after the socket is mounted on the motherboard.
LGA1366 and the manufacturer's insignia are molded or laser marked on the side wall.

LGA1366 Socket NCTF Solder Joints
Intel has defined selected solder joints of the socket as non-critical to function (NCTF) when evaluating package solder joints post environmental testing. The processor signals at NCTF locations are typically redundant ground or non-critical reserved, so the loss of the solder joint continuity at end of life conditions will not affect the overall
product functionality. Figure 3-7 identifies the NCTF solder joints.

Mechanism (ILM)

Note:
4.1
4.1.1
The Independent Loading Mechanism (ILM) provides the force needed to seat the
1366-LGA land package onto the socket contacts. The ILM is physically separate from the socket body. The assembly of the ILM is expected to occur after wave solder. The exact assembly location is dependent on manufacturing preference and test flow. See the Manufacturing Advantage Service collateral for this platform for additional guidance.
The ILM has two critical functions: deliver the force to seat the processor onto the socket contacts and distribute the resulting load evenly through the socket solder joints.
The mechanical design of the ILM is integral to the overall functionality of the LGA1366 socket. Intel performs detailed studies on integration of processor package, socket and
ILM as a system. These studies directly impact the design of the ILM. The Intel reference ILM will be “build to print” from Intel controlled drawings. Intel recommends using the Intel Reference ILM. Custom non-Intel ILM designs do not benefit from Intel's detailed studies and may not incorporate critical design parameters.
Design Concept
The ILM consists of two assemblies that will be procured as a set from the enabled vendors. These two components are ILM cover assembly and back plate.
ILM Cover Assembly Design Overview
The ILM cover assembly consists of four major pieces: load lever, load plate, frame and the captive fasteners.
The load lever and load plate are stainless steel. The frame and fasteners are high carbon steel with appropriate plating. The fasteners are fabricated from a high carbon steel. The frame provides the hinge locations for the load lever and load plate.
The cover assembly design ensures that once assembled to the back plate and the load lever is closed, the only features touching the board are the captive fasteners. The nominal gap of the frame to the board is ~1 mm when the load plate is closed on the empty socket or when closed on the processor package.
When closed the load plate applies two point loads onto the IHS at the “dimpled” features shown in
. The reaction force from closing the load plate is transmitted to the frame and through the captive fasteners to the back plate. Some of the load is passed through the socket body to the board inducing a slight compression on the solder joints.

ILM Back Plate Design Overview
The unified back plate for 2-socket server and 2-socket Workstation products consists of a flat steel back plate with threaded studs for ILM attach, and internally threaded nuts for heatsink attach. The threaded studs have a smooth surface feature that provides alignment for the back plate to the motherboard for proper assembly of the
ILM around the socket. A clearance hole is located at the center of the plate to allow access to test points and backside capacitors. An additional cut-out on two sides provides clearance for backside voltage regulator components. An insulator is preapplied.
Back plates for processors in 1-socket workstation platforms are covered in the Intel ®
Xeon ® Processor 3500 Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide.

Socket Maximum Temperature
The power dissipated within the socket is a function of the current at the pin level and the effective pin resistance. To ensure socket long term reliability, Intel defines socket maximum temperature using a via on the underside of the motherboard. Exceeding the temperature guidance may result in socket body deformation, or increases in thermal and electrical resistance which can cause a thermal runaway and eventual electrical failure. The guidance for socket maximum temperature is listed below:
• Via temperature under socket < 96 °C
The specific via used for temperature measurement is located on the bottom of the
motherboard between pins AY23, AY22, AW23, and AW22. See Figure 5-1

The socket maximum temperature is defined at Thermal Design Current (TDC). In addition, the heatsink performance targets and boundary conditions of Table 6-1 must be met to limit power dissipation through the socket.
To measure via temperature:
1. Drill a hole through the back plate at the specific via defined above.
2. Thread a T-type thermocouple (36 - 40 gauge) through the hole and glue it into the specific via on the underside of the motherboard.
3. Once the glue dries, reinstall the back plate and measure the temperature.

Package Thermal Specifications
The Intel
®
Xeon
®
processor C5500/C3500 series requires a thermal solution to maintain temperatures within its operating limits. Any attempt to operate the processor outside these operating limits may result in permanent damage to the processor and potentially other components within the system. Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable, long-term system operation.
A complete solution includes both component and system level thermal management features. Component level thermal solutions can include active or passive heatsinks attached to the processor integrated heat spreader (IHS).
This section provides data necessary for developing a complete thermal solution. For more information on designing a component level thermal solution, see
.
Thermal Specifications
To allow the optimal operation and long-term reliability of Intel processor-based systems, the processor must remain within the minimum and maximum case temperature (T
CASE
) specifications as defined by the applicable thermal profile.
Thermal solutions not designed to provide this level of thermal capability may affect the long-term reliability of the processor and system. These specifications are based on pre-silicon estimates. These specifications may be further updated as more data becomes available. Processors are listed here by TDP (Multiple SKUs may have the same TDP and same spec).
The Intel ® Xeon ® processor C5500/C3500 series implements a methodology for managing processor temperatures that is intended to support acoustic noise reduction through fan speed control and to assure processor reliability. Selection of the appropriate fan speed is based on the relative temperature data reported by the processor’s Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) as described in
If PECI is less than TCONTROL, then the case temperature is permitted to exceed the
Thermal Profile, but PECI must remain at or below TCONTROL. If PECI >= TCONTROL, then the case temperature must meet the Thermal Profile. The temperature reported over PECI is always a negative value and represents a delta below the onset of thermal
control circuit (TCC) activation, as indicated by PROCHOT# (see Section 6.2
, Processor
Thermal Features). Systems that implement fan speed control must be designed to use this data. Systems that do not alter the fan speed only need to guarantee the case temperature meets the thermal profile specifications.
The Intel ® Xeon ® processor EC5500 and EC3500 series (85 W and 65 W) supports a single Thermal Profile. See specifications below. For this processor, 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.
The Intel
®
Celeron
®
processor P1053 (30 W) (see specifications below) supports a single Thermal Profile. For this processor, 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.

Thermal Specifications
The Intel ® Xeon ® processor LC5500 and LC3500 series (60 W, 48 W, 35 W, and 23 W) all support Thermal Profiles with nominal and short-term conditions designed to meet
NEBS Level 3 compliance. See specifications below. For these SKUs, operation at either the nominal or short-term thermal profiles should result in virtually no TCC activation.
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 Adaptive 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, see
. The Adaptive Thermal Monitor feature must be enabled for the processor to remain within its specifications.

Processor Thermal Features
Processor Temperature
A new feature in the Intel
®
Xeon
®
processor C5500/C3500 series is a software readable field in the IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET register that contains the minimum temperature at which the TCC will be activated and PROCHOT# will be asserted. The
TCC activation temperature is calibrated on a part-by-part basis and normal factory variation may result in the actual TCC activation temperature being higher than the value listed in the register. TCC activation temperatures may change based on processor stepping, frequency or manufacturing efficiencies.
There is no specified correlation between DTS temperatures and processor case temperatures; therefore it is not possible to use this feature to ensure the processor case temperature meets the Thermal Profile specifications.
Adaptive Thermal Monitor
The Adaptive Thermal Monitor feature provides an enhanced method for controlling the processor temperature when the processor silicon reaches its maximum operating temperature. Adaptive Thermal Monitor uses Thermal Control Circuit (TCC) activation to reduce processor power via a combination of methods. The first method (Frequency/
VID control) involves the processor adjusting its operating frequency (via the core ratio multiplier) and input voltage (via the VID signals). This combination of reduced frequency and VID results in a reduction to the processor power consumption. The second method (clock modulation) reduces power consumption by modulating (starting and stopping) the internal processor core clocks. The processor intelligently selects the appropriate TCC method to use on a dynamic basis. BIOS is not required to select a specific method (as with previous-generation processors supporting TM1 or TM2).
The Adaptive Thermal Monitor feature must be enabled for the processor to be
operating within specifications. The temperature at which Adaptive Thermal
Monitor activates the Thermal Control Circuit is not user configurable and is not software visible. Snooping and interrupt processing are performed in the normal manner while the TCC is active.
With a properly designed and characterized thermal solution, it is anticipated that the
TCC would only be activated for very short periods of time when running the most power intensive applications. The processor performance impact due to these brief periods of TCC activation is expected to be so minor that it would be immeasurable. An under-designed thermal solution that is not able to prevent excessive activation of the
TCC in the anticipated ambient environment may cause a noticeable performance loss, and in some cases may result in a T
CASE
that exceeds the specified maximum temperature and may affect the long-term reliability of the processor. In addition, a thermal solution that is significantly under-designed may not be capable of cooling the processor even when the TCC is active continuously.
The duty cycle for the TCC, when activated by the Thermal Monitor, is factory configured and cannot be modified. The Thermal Monitor does not require any additional hardware, software drivers, or interrupt handling routines.
The following sections provide more details on the different TCC mechanisms used by the Intel
®
Xeon

Frequency/VID Control
The processor uses Frequency/VID control whereby TCC activation causes the processor to adjust its operating frequency (via the core ratio multiplier) and input voltage (via the VID signals). This combination of reduced frequency and VID results in a reduction to the processor power consumption.
This method includes multiple operating points, each consisting of a specific operating frequency and voltage. The first operating point represents the normal operating condition for the processor. The remaining points consist of both lower operating frequencies and voltages. When the TCC is activated, the processor automatically transitions to the new operating frequency. This transition occurs very rapidly (on the order of 2 microseconds).
Once the new operating frequency is engaged, the processor will transition to the new core operating voltage by issuing a new VID code to the voltage regulator. The voltage regulator must support dynamic VID steps to support this method. During the voltage change, it will be necessary to transition through multiple VID codes to reach the target operating voltage. Each step will be one VID table entry (see the Intel ® Xeon ®
Processor C5500/C3500 Series Datsheet). The processor continues to execute instructions during the voltage transition. Operation at the lower voltages reduces the power consumption of the processor.
A small amount of hysteresis has been included to prevent rapid active/inactive transitions of the TCC when the processor temperature is near its maximum operating temperature. Once the temperature has dropped below the maximum operating temperature, and the hysteresis timer has expired, the operating frequency and voltage transition back to the normal system operating point via the intermediate VID/ frequency points. Transition of the VID code will occur first, to insure proper operation once the processor reaches its normal operating frequency. Refer to
for an illustration of this ordering.

6.2.2.4
Clock Modulation
Clock modulation is performed by alternately turning the clocks off and on at a duty cycle specific to the processor (factory configured to 37.5% on and 62.5% off). The period of the duty cycle is configured to 32 microseconds when the TCC is active. Cycle times are independent of processor frequency. A small amount of hysteresis has been included to prevent rapid active/inactive transitions of the TCC when the processor temperature is near its maximum operating temperature. Once the temperature has dropped below the maximum operating temperature, and the hysteresis timer has expired, the TCC goes inactive and clock modulation ceases. Clock modulation is automatically engaged as part of the TCC activation when the Frequency/VID targets are at their minimum settings. It may also be initiated by software at a configurable duty cycle.
On-Demand Mode
The processor provides an auxiliary mechanism that allows system software to force the processor to reduce its power consumption. This mechanism is referred to as “On-
Demand” mode and is distinct from the Adaptive Thermal Monitor feature. On-Demand mode is intended as a means to reduce system level power consumption. Systems utilizing the Intel
®
Xeon
®
Processor 5500 Series must not rely on software usage of this mechanism to limit the processor temperature. If bit 4 of the
IA32_CLOCK_MODULATION MSR is set to a ‘1’, the processor will immediately reduce its power consumption via modulation (starting and stopping) of the internal core clock, independent of the processor temperature. When using On-Demand mode, the duty cycle of the clock modulation is programmable via bits 3:1 of the same
IA32_CLOCK_MODULATION MSR. In On-Demand mode, the duty cycle can be programmed from 12.5% on/ 87.5% off to 87.5% on/12.5% off in 12.5% increments.
On-Demand mode may be used in conjunction with the Adaptive Thermal Monitor; however, if the system tries to enable On-Demand mode at the same time the TCC is engaged, the factory configured duty cycle of the TCC will override the duty cycle selected by the On-Demand mode.
PROCHOT# Signal
An external signal, PROCHOT# (processor hot), is asserted when the processor core temperature has reached its maximum operating temperature. If Adaptive Thermal
Monitor is enabled (it must be enabled for the processor to be operating within specification), the TCC will be active when PROCHOT# is asserted. The processor can be configured to generate an interrupt upon the assertion or de-assertion of
PROCHOT#.
The PROCHOT# signal is bi-directional in that it can either signal when the processor
(any core) has reached its maximum operating temperature or be driven from an external source to activate the TCC. The ability to activate the TCC via PROCHOT# can provide a means for thermal protection of system components.
As an output, PROCHOT# will go active when the processor temperature monitoring sensor detects that one or more cores has reached its maximum safe operating temperature. This indicates that the processor Thermal Control Circuit (TCC) has been activated, if enabled. As an input, assertion of PROCHOT# by the system will activate the TCC for all cores. TCC activation when PROCHOT# is asserted by the system will result in the processor immediately transitioning to the minimum frequency and corresponding voltage (using Freq/VID control). Clock modulation is not activated in this case. The TCC will remain active until the system de-asserts PROCHOT#.

PROCHOT# can allow VR thermal designs to target maximum sustained current instead of maximum current. Systems should still provide proper cooling for the VR, and rely on PROCHOT# only as a backup in case of system cooling failure. The system thermal design should allow the power delivery circuitry to operate within its temperature specification even while the processor is operating at its Thermal Design Power.
With a properly designed and characterized thermal solution, it is anticipated that
PROCHOT# will only be asserted for very short periods of time when running the most power intensive applications. An under-designed thermal solution that is not able to prevent excessive assertion of PROCHOT# in the anticipated ambient environment may cause a noticeable performance loss. Refer to the appropriate platform design guide and for details on implementing the bi-directional PROCHOT# feature.
THERMTRIP# Signal
Regardless of whether or not Adaptive Thermal Monitor is enabled, in the event of a catastrophic cooling failure, the processor will automatically shut down when the silicon has reached an elevated temperature (see the THERMTRIP# definition in the
Datasheet). At this point, the THERMTRIP# signal will go active and stay active as described in the Datasheet. THERMTRIP# activation is independent of processor activity. If THERMTRIP# is asserted, processor core voltage (V
CC
) must be removed within the timeframe defined in the Datasheet. The temperature at which THERMTRIP# asserts is not user configurable and is not software visible.
Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI)
Introduction
The Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) is a one-wire interface that provides a communication channel between Intel processor and chipset components to external monitoring devices. The processor implements a PECI interface to allow communication of processor thermal and other information to other devices on the platform. The processor provides a digital thermal sensor (DTS) on each core for fan speed control.
The DTS is calibrated at the factory to provide a digital representation of processor temperature relative PROCHOT# assertion. Instantaneous temperature readings from the DTS are available via the IA32_TEMP_STATUS MSR; averaged DTS values are read via the PECI interface.
The PECI physical layer is a self-clocked one-wire bus that begins each bit with a driven, rising edge from an idle level near zero volts. The duration of the signal driven high depends on whether the bit value is a logic '0' or logic '1'. PECI also includes variable data transfer rate established with every message. The single wire interface provides low board routing overhead for the multiple load connections in the congested routing area near the processor and chipset components. Bus speed, error checking, and low protocol overhead provides adequate link bandwidth and reliability to transfer critical device operating conditions and configuration information.
Fan Speed Control with Digital Thermal Sensor
Fan speed control solutions use a value stored in the static variable, T
CONTROL
. The DTS temperature data which is delivered over PECI (in response to a GetTemp0() command) is compared to this T
CONTROL
reference. The DTS temperature is reported as a relative value versus an absolute value. The temperature reported over PECI is

Note: always a negative value and represents a delta below the onset of thermal control circuit (TCC) activation, as indicated by PROCHOT#. Therefore, as the temperature approaches TCC activation, the value approaches zero degrees.
Processor Thermal Data Sample Rate and Filtering
The processor digital thermal sensor (DTS) provides an improved capability to monitor device hot spots, which inherently leads to more varying temperature readings over short time intervals. To reduce the sample rate requirements on PECI and improve thermal data stability vs. time the processor DTS implements an averaging algorithm that filters the incoming data. This filter is expressed mathematically as:
PECI(t) = PECI(t-1)+1/(2^X)*[Temp - PECI(t-1)]
Where: PECI(t) is the new averaged temperature, PECI(t-1) is the previous averaged temperature Temp is the raw temperature data from the DTS, X is the Thermal
Averaging Constant (TAC).
Only values read via the PECI interface are averaged. Temperature values read via the
IA32_TEMP_STATUS MSR are not averaged.
The Thermal Averaging Constant is a BIOS configurable value that determines the time in milliseconds over which the DTS temperature values are averaged. Short averaging times will make the averaged temperature values respond more quickly to DTS changes. Long averaging times will result in better overall thermal smoothing but also incur a larger time lag between fast DST temperature changes and the value read via
PECI.
Within the processor, the DTS converts an analog signal into a digital value representing the temperature relative to TCC activation. The conversions are in integers with each single number change corresponding to approximately 1° C. DTS values reported via the internal processor MSR will be in whole integers.
As a result of the averaging function described above, DTS values reported over PECI will include a 6-bit fractional value. Under typical operating conditions, where the temperature is close to Tcontrol, the fractional values may not be of interest. But when the temperature approaches zero, the fractional values can be used to detect the activation of the TCC. An averaged temperature value between 0 and 1 can only occur if the TCC has been activated during the averaging window. As TCC activation time increases, the fractional value will approach zero. Fan control circuits can detect this situation and take appropriate action as determined by the system designers. Of course, fan control chips can also monitor the Prochot pin to detect TCC activation via a dedicated input pin on the package.

PECI Fault Handling Requirements
PECI is largely a fault tolerant interface, including noise immunity and error checking improvements over other comparable industry standard interfaces. The PECI client is as reliable as the device that it is embedded in, and thus given operating conditions that fall under the specification, the PECI will always respond to requests and the protocol itself can be relied upon to detect any transmission failures. There are, however, certain scenarios in which the PECI is know to be unresponsive. Before a power on RESET# and during RESET# assertion, PECI is not ensured to provide reliable thermal data. System designs should implement a default power-on condition that ensures proper processor operation during the time frame when reliable data is not available via PECI.
To protect platforms from potential operational or safety issues due to an abnormal condition on PECI, the Host controller should take action to protect the system from possible damaging states. If the Host controller cannot complete a valid PECI transactions of GetTemp0() with a given PECI device over three consecutive failed transactions or a one second max specified interval, then it should take appropriate actions to protect the corresponding device and/or other system components from overheating. The host controller may also implement an alert to software in the event of a critical or continuous fault condition.

The assembly process for the 1U reference heatsink begins with application of
Honeywell* PCM45F thermal interface material to improve conduction from the IHS.
Tape and roll format is recommended. Pad size is 35 x 35mm.
Next, the heatsink is positioned such that the heatsink fins are parallel to system airflow. While lowering the heatsink onto the IHS, the four captive screws of the heatsink are aligned to the four threaded nuts of the back plate.
Using a #2 Phillips driver, torque the four captive screws to 8 inch-pounds.
This assembly process is designed to produce a static load of 39 - 51 lbf, for 0.062" -
0.100" board thickness respectively. Honeywell PCM45F is expected to meet the performance targets in
Table 7-1 from 30 - 60 lbf. From
Table 5-3 , the Heatsink Static
Compressive Load of 0 - 60 lbf allows for designs that vary from the 1U reference heatsink. Example: A customer’s unique heatsink with very little static load (as little as
0 lbf) is acceptable from a socket loading perspective as long as the T
CASE is met.
specification
Compliance to board keepout zones in
Appendix B is assumed for this assembly
process.
Thermal Interface Material (TIM)
TIM should be verified to be within its recommended shelf life before use. Surfaces should be free of foreign materials prior to application of TIM. Use isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth to remove old TIM before applying new TIM.
Structural Considerations
The mass of the 1U and ATCA reference heatsinks does not exceed 500 gm.
, the Dynamic Compressive Load of 200 lbf max allows for designs that exceed 500 gm as long as the mathematical product does not exceed 200 lbf. Example:
A heatsink of 2lb mass (908 gm) x 50 g (acceleration) x 2.0 Dynamic Amplification
Factor = 200 lbf. The Total Static Compressive Load (
considered in dynamic assessments.
The heatsink limit of 500 gm and use of back plate have eliminated the need for Direct
Chassis Attach retention (as used with previous Dual-Core Intel ® Xeon ® processor
5000 sequence). Direct contact between back plate and chassis pan will help minimize board deflection during shock.
Placement of board-to-chassis mounting holes also impacts board deflection and resultant socket solder ball stress. Customers need to assess shock for their designs as their heatsink retention (back plate), heatsink mass and chassis mounting holes may vary.

NEBS Thermal Profile
Processors that offer a NEBS thermal profile are specified in the Intel ® Xeon ®
Processor C5500/C3500 Series Datasheet).
NEBS thermal profiles help relieve thermal constraints for Short-Term NEBS conditions.
To help reliability, processors must meet the nominal thermal profile under standard operating conditions and can only rise up to the Short-Term spec for NEBS excursions
(see Figure 7-6 ). Short-Term is clearly defined for NEBS Level 3 but the 360 hours per
year limit is a key consideration.
Note: Fan speed can be decreased and case temperatures can be allowed to rise above the thermal profile if the processor is below Tcontrol (see
). Exceeding the thermal profile at these lower temperatures is not considered a risk to reliability.
Figure 7-6. NEBS Thermal Profile

Note:
1.) The thermal specifications shown in this graph are for reference only. See the Intel ® Xeon ® Processor C5500/
C3500 Series Datasheet for the Thermal Profile specifications. In case of conflict, the data information in the
Datasheet supersedes any data in this figure.
2.) The Nominal Thermal Profile must be used for all normal operating conditions, or for products that do not require NEBS Level 3 compliance.
3.) The Short-Term Thermal Profile may only be used for short-term excursions to higher ambient operating temperatures, not to exceed 360 hours per year as compliant with NEBS Level 3.
4.) Implementation of either thermal profile should result in virtually no TCC activation.
5.) Utilization of a thermal solution that exceeds the Short-Term Thermal Profile, or which operates at the Short-
Term Thermal Profile for a duration longer than the limits specified in Note 3 above, do not meet the processor thermal specifications and may result in permanent damage to the processor.

PECI Averaging and Catastrophic Thermal Management
By averaging DTS over PECI, thermal solution failure can be detected and a soft shutdown can be initiated to help prevent loss of data.
Thermal data is averaged over a rolling window of 256mS by default (X=8):
AVG
N
= AVG
N-1
* (1 – 1/2
X
) + Temperature * 1/2
X
Using a smaller averaging constant could cause premature detection of failure.
The Critical Temperature threshold generally triggers somewhere between PECI of -
0.75 and -0.50. To avoid false shutdowns, initiate soft shutdown at -0.25.
Since customer designs, boundary conditions, and failure scenarios differ, above guidance should be tested in the customer’s system to prevent loss of data during shutdown.

Turbo Boost Technology
Intel ® Turbo Boost Technology (Intel ® TBT) is a new feature available on certain processor SKUs that opportunistically, and automatically, allows the processor to run faster than the marked frequency if the part is operating below its power, temperature and current limits.
Heatsink performance (lower Ψ
CA
as described in
) is one of several factors that can impact the amount of Intel
®
TBT frequency benefit. Intel
®
TBT performance is also constrained by ICC, and VCC limits.

Increased IMON accuracy may provide more Intel ® TBT benefit on TDP limited applications, as compared to lower Ψ
CA
, as temperature is not typically the limiter for these workloads. See Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) and Enterprise Voltage
Regulator-Down (EVRD) 11.1 Design Guidelines for more information regarding IMON accuracy.
With Intel ® TBT enabled, the processor may run more consistently at higher power levels (but still within TDP), and be more likely to operate above T compared to when Intel ®

TBT is disabled. This may result in higher acoustics.
Absolute Processor Temperature
Intel does not test any third-party software that reports absolute processor temperature. As such, Intel cannot recommend the use of software that claims this capability. Since there is part-to-part variation in the TCC (thermal control circuit) activation temperature, use of software that reports absolute temperature can be misleading.

Custom Heat Sinks For UP ATCA
The embedded-specific 60W SKU was targeted for NEBS compliant 1U+ systems and
UP ATCA configurations with custom thermal solutions. In order to cool this part in a single wide ATCA slot, a custom thermal solution will be required. Unique solutions like the UP ATCA processor will be very configuration specific so, the thermal solution for UP
ATCA was not fully designed with retention and keep-out definitions. Figure 7-7 is a
good example of a custom thermal solution for the UP ATCA processor.
To cool the additional power of a 60 W processor in ATCA, the heatsink volume had to grow. The assumption was that the heat sink could not grow wider because of VR and
Memory placement so a Remote Heat Exchanger (RHE) was used. The RHE is attached to the main heat sink with a heat pipe. The RHE gives additional convective surface area and gives the thermal solution access to more air. Samples of the following design were ordered and tested for thermal performance only.
Flotherm analysis shows that the following design can cool an LGA1366 TTV in an ATCA blade at 30 CFM. The heat sink Ψca would be 0.50ºC/W at 55ºC ambient which falls below the thermal profile for the 60W processor.

Intel Reference Component Validation
Intel tests reference components individually and as an assembly on mechanical test boards and assesses performance to the envelopes specified in previous sections by varying boundary conditions.
While component validation shows a reference design is tenable for a limited range of conditions, customers need to assess their specific boundary conditions and perform reliability testing based on their use conditions.
Intel reference components are also used in board functional tests to assess performance for specific conditions.
The 1U thermal solution was tested but the ATCA solution was not fully tested.
Board Functional Test Sequence
Each test sequence should start with components (baseboard, heatsink assembly, and so on) that have not been previously submitted to any reliability testing.
The test sequence should always start with a visual inspection after assembly, and
BIOS/Processor/memory test. The stress test should be then followed by a visual inspection and then BIOS/processor/memory test.

Post-Test Pass Criteria
The post-test pass criteria are:
• No significant physical damage to the heatsink and retention hardware.
• Heatsink remains seated and its bottom remains mated flat against the IHS surface. No visible gap between the heatsink base and processor IHS. No visible tilt of the heatsink with respect to the retention hardware.
• No signs of physical damage on baseboard surface due to impact of heatsink.
• No visible physical damage to the processor package.
• Successful BIOS/processor/memory test of post-test samples.
• Thermal compliance testing to demonstrate that the case temperature specification can be met.
Recommended BIOS/Processor/Memory Test Procedures
This test ensures proper operation of the product before and after environmental stresses, with the thermal mechanical enabling components assembled. The test shall be conducted on a fully operational baseboard that has not been exposed to any battery of tests prior to the test being considered.
Test setup should include the following components, properly assembled and/or connected:
• Appropriate system baseboard.
• Processor and memory.
• All enabling components, including socket and thermal solution parts.
The pass criterion is that the system under test shall successfully complete the checking of BIOS, basic processor functions, and memory, without any errors. Intel PC
Diags is an example of software that can be utilized for this test.
Material and Recycling Requirements
Material shall be resistant to fungal growth. Examples of non-resistant materials include cellulose materials, animal and vegetable based adhesives, grease, oils, and many hydrocarbons. Synthetic materials such as PVC formulations, certain polyurethane compositions (for example, polyester and some polyethers), plastics which contain organic fillers of laminating materials, paints, and varnishes also are susceptible to fungal growth. If materials are not fungal growth resistant, then MIL-
STD-810E, Method 508.4 must be performed to determine material performance.
Any plastic component exceeding 25 gm should be recyclable per the European Blue
Angel recycling standards.
The following definitions apply to the use of the terms lead-free, Pb-free, and RoHS compliant.
Lead-free and Pb-free: Lead has not been intentionally added, but lead may still exist as an impurity below 1000 ppm.
