Introduction
1Introduction
The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series are 64-bit server/workstation
processors utilizing two Intel microarchitecture cores. These processors are based on
Intel’s 65 nanometer process technology combining high performance with the power
efficiencies of a low-power microarchitecture. The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor
5100 Series maintain the tradition of compatibility with IA-32 software. Some key
features include on-die, 32 KB Level 1 instruction and data caches and 4 MB Level 2
cache with Advanced Transfer Cache Architecture. The processors’ Data Prefetch Logic
speculatively fetches data to the L2 cache before an L1 cache requests occurs, resulting
in reduced bus cycle penalties and improved performance. The 1333 MHz Front Side
Bus (FSB) is a quad-pumped bus running off a 333 MHz system clock making
10.66 GBytes per second data transfer rates possible. Some lower speed SKU’s are
available which support a 1066 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB). This is a quad-pumped bus
running off a 266 MHz system clock making 8.5 GBytes per second data transfer rates
possible. The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5160 offers higher clock frequencies
than the Dual-Core Intel
for the performance optimized segment.

The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series based platforms implement
independent core voltage (VCC) power planes for each processor. FSB termination
voltage (VTT) is shared and must connect to all FSB agents. The processor core voltage
utilizes power delivery guidelines specified by VRM/EVRD 11.0 and its associated load
line (see Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) and Enterprise Voltage Regulator-Down (EVRD) 11.0 Design Guidelines for further details). VRM/EVRD 11.0 will support the
power requirements of all frequencies of the Dual-Core Intel
®
Xeon® Processor 5100
Series. Refer to the appropriate platform design guidelines for implementation details.
The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series support 1333 MHz Front Side Bus
operation. The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor LV 5138 and Dual-Core Intel®
Xeon® Processor LV 5128 support 1066MHz Front Side Bus operation. The FSB utilizes
a split-transaction, deferred reply protocol and Source-Synchronous Transfer (SST) of
address and data to improve performance. The processor transfers data four times per
bus clock (4X data transfer rate, as in AGP 4X). Along with the 4X data bus, the
address bus can deliver addresses two times per bus clock and is referred to as a
‘double-clocked’ or a 2X address bus. In addition, the Request Phase completes in one
clock cycle. The FSB is also used to deliver interrupts.
Signals on the FSB use Assisted Gunning Transceiver Logic (AGTL+) level voltages.
Section 2.1 contains the electrical specifications of the FSB while implementation
details are fully described in the appropriate platform design guidelines (refer to
Section 1.3).
1.1Terminology
A ‘#’ symbol after a signal name refers to an active low signal, indicating a signal is in
the asserted state when driven to a low level. For example, when RESET# is low, a
reset has been requested. Conversely, when NMI is high, a nonmaskable interrupt has
occurred. In the case of signals where the name does not imply an active state but
describes part of a binary sequence (such as address or data), the ‘#’ symbol implies
that the signal is inverted. For example, D[3:0] = ‘HLHL’ refers to a hex ‘A’, and
D[3:0]# = ‘LHLH’ also refers to a hex ‘A’ (H= High logic level, L= Low logic level).
Commonly used terms are explained here for clarification:

Electrical Specifications
2Electrical Specifications
2.1Front Side Bus and GTLREF
Most Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series FSB signals uses Assisted Gunning
Transceiver Logic (AGTL+) signaling technology. This technology provides improved
noise margins and reduced ringing through low voltage swings and controlled edge
rates.AGTL+ buffers are open-drain and require pull-up resistors to provide the high
logic level and termination. AGTL+ output buffers differ from GTL+ buffers with the
addition of an active PMOS pull-up transistor to “assist” the pull-up resistors during the
first clock of a low-to-high voltage transition. Platforms implement a termination
voltage level for AGTL+ signals defined as V
power planes for each processor (and chipset), separate V
necessary. This configuration allows for improved noise tolerance as processor
frequency increases. Speed enhancements to data and address buses have made
signal integrity considerations and platform design methods even more critical than
with previous processor families. Design guidelines for the processor FSB are detailed
in the appropriate platform design guidelines (refer to Section 1.3).
The AGTL+ inputs require reference voltages (GTLREF_DATA and GTLREF_ADD) which
are used by the receivers to determine if a signal is a logical 0 or a logical 1.
GTLREF_DATA is used for the 4X front side bus signaling group and GTLREF_ADD is
used for the 2X and common clock front side bus signaling groups. Both GTLREF_DA TA
and GTLREF_ADD must be generated on the baseboard. Refer to the applicable
platform design guidelines for details. T ermination resistors (R
provided on the processor silicon and are terminated to V
resistors are always enabled on the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series to
control reflections on the transmission line. Intel chipsets also provide on-die
termination, thus eliminating the need to terminate the bus on the baseboard for most
AGTL+ signals.

the baseboard. See Table 2-9 for details regarding these signals.
The AGTL+ bus depends on incident wave switching. Therefore, timing calculations for
AGTL+ signals are based on flight time as opposed to capacitive deratings. Analog
signal simulation of the FSB, including trace lengths, is highly recommended when
designing a system. Contact your Intel Field Representative to obtain the processor
signal integrity models, which includes buffer and package models.

sag below their minimum values if bulk decoupling is not adequate. Larger bulk storage

current demand by the component, such as coming out of an idle condition. Similarly,
they act as a storage well for current when entering an idle condition from a running
condition. Care must be taken in the baseboard design to ensure that the voltage
provided to the processor remains within the specifications listed in Table 2-13. Failure
to do so can result in timing violations or reduced lifetime of the component. For further
information and guidelines, refer to the appropriate platform design guidelines.

Decoupling
CC
Vcc regulator solutions need to provide bulk capacitance with a low Effective Series
Resistance (ESR), and the baseboard designer must assure a low interconnect
resistance from the regulator (EVRD or VRM pins) to the LGA771 socket. Bulk
decoupling must be provided on the baseboard to handle large current swings. The
power delivery solution must insure the voltage and current specifications are met (as
defined in Table 2-13). For further information regarding power delivery, decoupling
and layout guidelines, refer to the appropriate platform design guidelines.
Decoupling
TT
Bulk decoupling must be provided on the baseboard. Decoupling solutions must be
sized to meet the expected load. To insure optimal performance, various factors
associated with the power delivery solution must be considered including regulator
type, power plane and trace sizing, and component placement. A conservative
decoupling solution consists of a combination of low ESR bulk capacitors and high
frequency ceramic capacitors. For further information regarding power delivery,
decoupling and layout guidelines, refer to the appropriate platform design guidelines.
2.3.3Front Side Bus AGTL+ Decoupling
The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Seriesintegrates signal termination on the
die, as well as a portion of the required high frequency decoupling capacitance on the
processor package. However, additional high frequency capacitance must be added to
the baseboard to properly decouple the return currents from the FSB. Bulk decoupling
must also be provided by the baseboard for proper AGTL+ bus operation. Decoupling
guidelines are described in the appropriate platform design guidelines.
2.4Front Side Bus Clock (BCLK[1:0]) and Processor
Clocking
BCLK[1:0] directly controls the FSB interface speed as well as the core frequency of the
processor. As in previous processor generations, the Dual-Core Intel
5100 Series core frequency is a multiple of the BCLK[1:0] frequency . The processor bus
ratio multiplier is set during manufacturing. The default setting is for the maximum
speed of the processor. It is possible to override this setting using software (see the
Conroe and Woodcrest Processor Family BIOS Writer’s Guide). This permits operation
at lower frequencies than the processor’s tested frequency.
18Dual-Core Intel

Xeon® Processor 5100 Series Datasheet
Electrical Specifications
The processor core frequency is configured during reset by using values stored
internally during manufacturing. The stored value sets the highest bus fraction at which
the particular processor can operate. If lower speeds are desired, the appropriate ratio
can be configured via the CLOCK_FLEX_MAX MSR. For details of operation at core
frequencies lower than the maximum rated processor speed, refer to the Conroe and
Woodcrest Processor Family BIOS Writer’s Guide.
Clock multiplying within the processor is provided by the internal phase locked loop
(PLL), which requires a constant frequency BCLK[1:0] input, with exceptions for spread
spectrum clocking. The Dual-Core Intel

Xeon® Processor 5100 Series utilizes
differential clocks. Details regarding BCLK[1:0] driver specifications are provided in the

synthesizer. All FSB agents must operate at the same core and FSB frequency. See the

2.5Voltage Identification (VID)
The Voltage Identi fication (VID) s pecification for the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor
5100 Series is defined by the Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) and Enterprise Voltage Regulator-Down (EVRD) 11.0 Design Guidelines. The voltage set by the VID signals is
the reference VR output voltage to be delivered to the processor Vcc pins. VID signals
are open drain outputs, which must be pulled up to V
the DC specifications for these signals. A voltage range is provided in Table 2-13 and
changes with frequency. The specifications have been set such that one voltage
regulator can operate with all supported frequencies.
Individual processor VID values may be calibrated during manufacturing such that two
devices at the same core frequency may have different default VID settings. This is
reflected by the VID range values provided in Table 2-3.

specifies the voltage level corresponding to the state of VID[6:1]. A ‘1’ in this table
refers to a high voltage level and a ‘0’ refers to a low voltage level. The definition
provided in Table 2-3 is not related in any way to previous Intel
voltage regulator designs. If the processor socket is empty (VID[6:1] = 111111), or
the voltage regulation circuit cannot supply the voltage that is requested, the voltage
regulator must disable itself. See the Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) and Enterprise Voltage Regulator-Down (EVRD) 11.0 Design Guidelines for further details.

ground. When tying any signal to power or ground, a resistor will also allow for system
testability. Resistor values should be within ± 20% of the impedance of the baseboard
trace for FSB signals, unless otherwise noticed in the appropriate platform design
guidelines. For unused AGTL+ input or I/O signals, use pull-up resistors of the same
value as the on-die termination resistors (R
Some TAP, CMOS Asynchronous inputs and CMOS Asynchronous outputs do not include
on-die termination. Inputs and utilized outputs must be terminated on the baseboard.
Unused outputs may be terminated on the baseboard or left unconnected. Note that
leaving unused outputs unterminated may interfere with some TAP functions,
complicate debug probing, and prevent boundary scan testing. Signal termination for
these signal types is discussed in the appropriate platform design guidelines.

2.7Front Side Bus Signal Groups
The FSB signals have been combined into groups by buffer type. AGTL+ input signals
have differential input buffers, which use GTLREF_DA TA and GTLREF_ADD as reference
levels. In this document, the term “AGTL+ Input” refers to the AGTL+ input group as
well as the AGTL+ I/O group when receiving. Similarly, “AGTL+ Output” refers to the
AGTL+ output group as well as the AGTL+ I/O group when driving. AGTL+
asynchronous outputs can become active anytime and include an active PMOS pull-up
transistor to assist during the first clock of a low-to-high voltage transition.
With the implementation of a source synchronous data bus comes the need to specify
two sets of timing parameters. One set is for common clock signals whose timings are
specified with respect to rising edge of BCLK0 (ADS#, HIT#, HITM#, and so forth) and
the second set is for the source synchronous signals which are relative to their
respective strobe lines (data and address) as well as rising edge of BCLK0.
Asynchronous signals are still present (A20M#, IGNNE#, and so forth) and can become
active at any time during the clock cycle. Table 2-7 identifies which signals are common
clock, source synchronous and asynchronous.

2.8CMOS Asynchronous and Open Drain
Asynchronous Signals
Legacy input signals such as A20M#, IGNNE#, INIT#, SMI#, and STPCLK# utilize
CMOS input buffers. Legacy output signals such as FERR#/PBE#, IERR#, PROCHOT#,
and THERMTRIP# utilize open drain output buffers. All of the CMOS and Open Drain
signals are required to be asserted/deasserted for at least eight BCLKs in order for the
processor to recognize the proper signal state. See Chapter 6 for additional timing
requirements for entering and leaving the low power states.
2.9Test Access Port (TAP) Connection
Due to the voltage levels supported by other components in the Test Access Port (TAP)
logic, it is recommended that the processor(s) be first in the TAP chain and followed by
any other components within the system. A translation buffer should be used to
connect to the rest of the chain unless one of the other components is capable of
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series Datasheet25
Electrical Specifications
accepting an input of the appropriate voltage. Similar considerations must be made for
TCK, TMS, TDO, and TRST#. Two copies of each signal may be required with each
driving a different voltage level.
2.10Platform Environmental Control Interface (PECI)
DC Specifications
The release of the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series marks the transition
from thermal diodes to digital thermal sensors for fan speed control. Digital Thermal
Sensors (DTS) are on-die, analog-to-digital temperature converters calibrated at the
factory for reasonable accuracy to provide a digital representation of relative processor
temperature. Data from the DTS are processed and stored in a processor register,
which is queried through the Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI). PECI is a
proprietary one-wire bus interface that provides a communication channel between
Intel processor and chipset components to external thermal monitoring devices. More
detailed information may be found in Section 6.3.
2.10.1DC Characteristics
A PECI device interface operates at a nominal voltage set by VTT. The set of DC
electrical specifications shown in Table 2-11 is used with devices normally operating
from a V
PECI devices will operate at the VTT level determined by the processor installed in the
system. For specific nominal V

2.11Mixing Processors
Intel supports and validates dual processor configurations only in which both
processors operate with the same FSB frequency , core frequency, power segments, and
have the same internal cache sizes. Mixing components operating at different internal
clock frequencies is not supported and will not be validated by Intel. Combining
processors from different power segments is also not supported.
Note:Processors within a system must operate at the same frequency per bits [12:8] of the
CLOCK_FLEX_MAX MSR; however this does not apply to frequency transitions initiated
due to thermal events, Extended HALT, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep
transitions, or assertion of the FORCEPR# signal (See Chapter 6).
®
Technology
Not all operating systems can support dual processors with mixed frequencies. Mixing
processors of different steppings but the same model (as per CPUID instruction) is
supported. Details regarding the CPUID instruction are provided in the Intel Processor Identification and the CPUID Instruction application note.
2.12Absolute Maximum and Minimum Ratings
Table 2-12 specifies absolute maximum and minimum ratings only, which lie outside
the functional limits of the processor. Only within specified operation limits, can
functionality and long-term reliability be expected.
At conditions outside functional operation condition limits, but within absolute
maximum and minimum ratings, neither functionality nor long-term reliability can be
expected. If a device is returned to conditions within functional operation limits after
having been subjected to conditions outside these limits, but within the absolute
maximum and minimum ratings, the device may be functional, but with its lifetime
degraded depending on exposure to conditions exceeding the functional operation
condition limits.
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series Datasheet27
At conditions exceeding absolute maximum and minimum ratings, neither functionality
nor long-term reliability can be expected. Moreover, if a device is subjected to these
conditions for any length of time then, when returned to conditions within the
functional operating condition limits, it will either not function or its reliability will be
severely degraded.
Although the processor contains protective circuitry to resist damage from static
electric discharge, precautions should always be taken to avoid high static voltages or

electric fields.

Notes:
1.For functional operation, all processor el ectrical, sign al quality, mechanical and thermal specifications must
be satisfied.
2.Overshoot and undershoot voltage guidelines for input, output, and I/O signals are outlined in Section 3.
Excessive overshoot or undershoot on any signal will likely result in permanent damage to the processor.
3.Storage temperature is applicable to storage conditions only. In this scenario, the processor must not
receive a clock, and no lands can be connected to a voltage bias. Storage within these limits will not affect
the long-term reliability of the device. For functional operation, please refer to the processor case
temperature specifications.
4.This rating applies to the processor and does not include any tray or packaging.

The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series is packaged in a Flip Chip Land Grid
Array (FC-LGA6) package that interfaces to the baseboard via a LGA771 socket. The
package consists of a processor core mounted on a pinless substrate with 771 lands. An
integrated heat spreader (IHS) is attached to the package substrate and core and
serves as the interface for processor component thermal solutions such as a heatsink.
Figure 3-1 shows a sketch of the processor package components and how they are
assembled together. Refer to the LGA771 Socket Design Guidelines for complete details
on the LGA771 socket.
The package components shown in Figure 3-1 include the following:
• Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS)

3.2Processor Component Keepout Zones
The processor may contain components on the substrate that define component
keepout zone requirements. A thermal and mechanical solution design must not intrude
into the required keepout zones. Decoupling capacitors are typically mounted to either
the topside or landside of the package substrate. See Figure 3-4 for keepout zones.
3.3Package Loading Specifications
Table 3-1 provides dynamic and static load specifications for the processor package.
These mechanical load limits should not be exceeded during heatsink assembly,
mechanical stress testing or standard drop and shipping conditions. The heatsink
attach solutions must not include continuous stress onto the processor with the
exception of a uniform load to maintain the heatsink-to-processor thermal interface.
Also, any mechanical system or component testing should not exceed these limits. The
processor package substrate should not be used as a mechanical reference or loadbearing surface for thermal or mechanical solutions.

Notes:
1.These specifications apply to uniform compressive loading in a direction perpendicular to the IHS top
surface.
2.This is the minimum and maximum static force that can be applied by the heatsink and retention solution
to maintain the heatsink and processor interface.
3.These specifications are based on limited testing for design characterization. Loading limits are for the
LGA771 socket.
4.Dynamic compressive load applies to all board thickness.
5.Dynamic loading is defined as an 11 ms duration average load superimposed on the static load
requirement.
6.Test condition used a heatsink mass of 1 lbm with 50 g acceleration measured at heatsink mass. The
dynamic portion of this specification in the product application can have flexibility in specific values, but the
ultimate product of mass times acceleration should not exceed this dynamic load.
7.Transient bend is defined as the transient board deflection during manufacturing such as board assembly
and system integration. It is a relatively slow bending event compared to shock and vibration tests.

6.1Package Thermal Specifications
The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 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. As processor technology changes,
thermal management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems.
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). Typical system level thermal
solutions may consist of system fans combined with ducting and venting.
This section provides data necessary for developing a complete thermal solution. For
more information on designing a component level thermal solution, refer to the Dual-
Xeon® Processor 5100 Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines, and
Note:The boxed processor will ship with a component thermal solution. Refer to Section 8 for
details on the boxed processor. For the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor LV 5128,
follow the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor LV 5148 Thermal Profile.
6.1.1Thermal 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
Thermal solutions not designed to provide this level of thermal capability may affect the
long-term reliability of the processor and system. For more details on thermal solution
design, please refer to the processor thermal/mechanical design guidelines.
The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor LV 5148/5138/5128 implement a methodology
for managing processor temperatures which 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) bus as described in
Section 6.3. 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 Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series, Dual-Core Intel® Xeon®
Processor LV 5148, and Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor LV 5128 support a single
Thermal Profile (see Figure 6-1, Table 6-2, Figure 6-3, and Table 6-7). With these
Thermal Profiles, it's expected that the Thermal Control Circuit (TCC) would only be

applications. Refer to the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series Thermal/
Mechanical Design Guidelines for details on system thermal solution design, thermal
profiles and environmental considerations.
Intel has developed thermal profiles specific to enable the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon®
Processor LV 5138, to be used in environments compliant with NEBS* Level 3 ambient
operating temperature requirements. At a minimum, NEBS Level 3 requires a nominal
ambient operating temperature of 40°C, with short-term excursions to 55°C. “Shortterm” is defined as a maximum of 96 hours per instance, for a total maximum of 360
hours per year, and a maximum of 15 instances per year.
To comply with these ambient operating temperature requirements, Intel has
developed a corresponding Nominal Thermal Profile and Short-Term Thermal Profile.
For normal operation, the processor must remain within the minimum and maximum
case temperature (T
) specifications as defined by the Nominal Thermal Profile. For
CASE
short-term operating conditions (maximum 96 hours per instance, maximum 360 hours
per year, maximum of 15 instances per year), the processor may remain within the
minimum and maximum T
, as defined by the Short-Term Thermal Profile. For
CASE
environments that do not require NEBS Level 3 compliance, the processor must always
remain within the minimum and maximum case temperature (T
) specifications as
CASE
defined by the Nominal Thermal Profile.
To provide greater flexibility in environmental conditions and thermal solution design,
the Nominal Thermal Profile and the Short-Term Thermal Profile are each specified 5°C
above the NEBS Level 3 ambient operating temperature requirements of 40°C nominal
and 55°C short-term. The Nominal Thermal Profile is defined at an ambient operating
temperature of 45°C, and the Short-Term Thermal Profile is defined at an ambient
operating temperature of 60°C.
Both of these thermal profiles ensure adherence to Intel reliability requirements. 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. 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 specified limits will violate the
thermal specifications and may result in permanent damage to the processor. Refer to
the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor LV 5138 in Embedded Applications Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines for details on system thermal solution design, thermal
profiles and environmental considerations.
The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5160 has two thermal profiles, either of which
can be implemented. Both ensure adherence to Intel reliability requirements. Thermal
Profile A (see Figure 6-4; Table 6-9) is representative of a volumetrically unconstrained
thermal solution (that is, industry 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. Thermal Profile B (see
Figure 6-4, Table 6-10) is indicative of a constrained thermal environment (that is, 1U
form factor). Because of the reduced cooling capability represented by this thermal
solution, the probability of TCC activation and performance loss is increased.
Additionally, utilization of a thermal solution that does not meet Thermal Profile B will
violate the thermal specifications and may result in permanent damage to the
processor. Intel has developed these thermal profiles to allow customers to choose the
thermal solution and environmental parameters that best suit their platform
implementation. Refer to the Dual-Core Intel

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) indicated in
Table 6-1instead of the maximum processor power consumption. The 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 Section 6.2. 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. The Thermal Monitor
and Enhanced Thermal Monitor features must both be enabled in BIOS for the
processor to be operating within specifications.

6.2Processor Thermal Features
6.2.1Thermal Monitor Features
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series provides two thermal monitor features,
Thermal Monitor (TM1) and Enhanced Thermal Monitor (TM2). The Thermal Monitor
and Enhanced Thermal Monitor must both be enabled in BIOS for the processor to be
operating within specifications. When both are enabled, TM2 will be activated first and
TM1 will be added if TM2 is not effective.
6.2.1.1Thermal Monitor (TM1)
The Thermal Monitor (TM1) feature helps control the processor temperature by
activating the Thermal Control Circuit (TCC) when the processor silicon reaches its
maximum operating temperature. The TCC reduces processor power consumption as
needed by modulating (starting and stopping) the internal processor core clocks. The
temperature at which Thermal Monitor activates the thermal control circuit is not user
configurable and is not software visible. Bus traffic is snooped in the normal manner,
and interrupt requests are latched (and serviced during the time that the clocks are on)
while the TCC is active.
82Dual-Core Intel
®
Xeon® Processor 5100 Series Datasheet
Thermal Specifications
When the Thermal Monitor is enabled, and a high temperature situation exists (that is,
TCC is active), the clocks will be modulated by alternately turning the clocks off and on
at a duty cycle specific to the processor (typically 30 - 50%). Cycle times are processor
speed dependent and will decrease as processor core frequencies increase. 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.
With a thermal solution designed to meet Thermal Profile A, 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. A
thermal solution that is designed to Thermal Profile B may cause a noticeable
performance loss due to increased TCC activation. Thermal Solutions that exceed
Thermal Profile B will exceed the maximum temperature specification and 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. Refer to the Dual-Core IntelThermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines or information on designing a thermal solution.
For the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor LV 5138, 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. 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 specified limits, do not
meet the processor’s thermal specifications and may result in permanent damage to
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. Refer
to the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor LV 5138 in Embedded Applications Thermal/ Mechanical Design Guideline for information on designing a thermal solution." 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. Refer to the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor LV 5138 in Embedded Applications Thermal/Mechanical Design Guideline for
information on designing a thermal solution.
®
Xeon® Processor 5100 Series
6.2.1.2Enhanced Thermal Monitor (TM2)
The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series adds supports for an Enhanced
Thermal Monitor capability known as Thermal Monitor 2 (TM2). This mechanism
provides an efficient means for limiting the processor temperature by reducing the
power consumption within the processor. TM2 requires support for dynamic VID
transitions in the platform.
When TM2 is enabled, and a high temperature situation is detected, the Thermal
Control Circuit (TCC) will be activated for both processor cores. The TCC causes the
processor to adjust its operating frequency (via the bus multiplier) and input voltage
(via the VID signals). This combination of reduced frequency and VID results in a
reduction to the processor power consumption.
A processor enabled for TM2 includes two operating points, each consisting of a specific
operating frequency and voltage, which is identical for both processor cores. The first
operating point represents the normal operating condition for the processor. Under this
condition, the core-frequency-to-system-bus multiplier utilized by the processor is that
contained in the CLOCK_FLEX_MAX MSR and the VID that is specified in Table 2-3.
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series Datasheet83
Thermal Specifications
The second operating point consists of both a lower operating frequency and voltage.
The lowest operating frequency is determined by the lowest supported bus ratio (1/6
for the Dual-Core Intel
®
Xeon® Processor 5100 Series ). When the TCC is activated, the
processor automatically transitions to the new frequency. This transition occurs rapidly ,
on the order of 5 µs. During the frequency transition, the processor is unable to service
any bus requests, and consequently , all bus traffic is blocked. Edge-triggered interrupts
will be latched and kept pending until the processor resumes operation at the new
frequency.
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 in order to support Thermal Monitor 2.
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
Table 2-3). The processor continues to execute instructions during the voltage
transition. Operation at the lower voltage 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. Transition of the VID code
will occur first, in order to insure proper operation once the processor reaches its
normal operating frequency. Refer to Figure 6-6 for an illustration of this ordering.

6.2.2On-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 “OnDemand” mode and is distinct from the Thermal Monitor and Thermal Monitor 2
features. On-Demand mode is intended as a means to reduce system level power
consumption. Systems utilizing the Dual-Core Intel
must not rely on software usage of this mechanism to limit the processor temperature.

84Dual-Core Intel

Thermal Specifications
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 OnDemand 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 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.
6.2.3PROCHOT# Signal
An external signal, PROCHOT# (processor hot) is asserted when the processor die
temperature of either processor cores has reached its factory configured trip point. If
Thermal Monitor is enabled (note that Thermal Monitor 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#. Refer to the Intel Architecture Software
Developer’s Manual and the Conroe and Woodcrest Processor Family BIOS Writer’s
Guide for specific register and programming details.
PROCHOT# is designed to assert at or a few degrees higher than maximum T
specified by Thermal Profile A) when dissipating TDP power, and cannot be interpreted
as an indication of processor case temperature. This temperature delta accounts for
processor package, lifetime and manufacturing variations and attempts to ensure the
Thermal Control Circuit is not activated below maximum T
power. There is no defined or fixed correlation between the PROCHOT# trip

The FORCEPR# (force power reduction) input can be used by the platform to cause the

Monitor is enabled, the TCC will be activated upon the assertion of the FORCEPR#
signal. Assertion of the FORCEPR# signal will activate TCC for both processor cores.
The TCC will remain active until the system deasserts FORCEPR#. FORCEPR# is an
asynchronous input. FORCEPR# can be used to thermally protect other system
components. To use the VR as an example, when FORCEPR# is asserted, the TCC
circuit in the processor will activate, reducing the current consumption of the processor
and the corresponding temperature of the VR.
It should be noted that assertion of FORCEPR# does not automatically assert
PROCHOT#. As mentioned previously, the PROCHOT# signal is asserted when a high
temperature situation is detected. A minimum pulse width of 500
when FORCEPR# is asserted by the system. Sustained activation of the FORCEPR#
signal may cause noticeable platform performance degradation.

Regardless of whether or not Thermal Monitor or Thermal Monitor 2 is enabled, in the
event of a catastrophic cooling failure, the processor will automatically shut down when
the silicon has reached an elevated temperature (refer to the THERMTRIP# definition in

6.3Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI)
6.3.1Introduction
The introduction of the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series marks the
transition from thermal diodes to digital thermal sensors for fan speed control. Digital
Thermal Sensors (DTS) are on-die, analog-to-digital temperature converters calibrated
at the factory for reasonable accuracy to provide a digital representation of relative
processor temperature. Data from the DTS are processed and stored in a processor
register which is queried through the Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI).
PECI is a proprietary one-wire bus interface that provides a communication channel
between Intel processor and chipset components to external thermal monitoring
devices. A topology diagram is given in Figure 6-7. The PECI bus offers:
• A wide speed range from 2 Kbps to 2 Mbps.
• CRC check byte used to efficiently and automatically confirm accurate data delivery
• Synchronization at the beginning of every message minimizes device timing
accuracy requirements
The Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) bus uses a single wire for selfclocking and data transfer, and requires no additional control lines. The 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.
Note:The PECI interface is disabled by default, and must be enabled through BIOS by setting
PECI_EN (bit 0 of Model Specific Register PECI_CTL at address 05A0h) to 1.

6.3.1.1Key Difference with Legacy Diode-Based Thermal Management
Fan speed control solutions utilize a TControl value stored in the processor
IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET MSR. Prior to Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100
Series , TControl represented a diode temperature. With Dual-Core Intel
Processor 5100 Series , TControl represents an offset from TCC activation
temperature.The DTS outputs temperature offsets over the PECI interface in response
to a GetT emp0() command and these offsets are relative v alues vs. an absolute values.
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#.
Therefore, as the temperature approaches TCC activation, the value approaches zero
degrees Celsius. At zero degrees, the TCC activates as described in Section 6.2. A data
format comparison is shown below in Figure 6-8.
While the Tcontrol value for PECI based digital temperature data is different than
legacy, it will use the same processor register, and it will still be necessary for thermal
management algorithms to use this new relative temperature format delivered over
PECI to control fans or other temperature control methods.

6.3.1.2Processor Thermal Data Sample Rate and Filtering
The DTS provides an improved capability to monitor device hot spots, which inherently
leads to more varying temperature readings over short time interv als. The D TS sam ple
interval range can be modified, and a data filtering algorithm can be activated to help
moderate this. The DTS sample interval range is 82 µs (default) to 20 ms (max). This
value can be set in BIOS.
To reduce the sample rate requirements on PECI and improve thermal data stability vs.
time the processor DTS also implements an averaging algorithm that filters the
incoming data. This is an alpha-beta filter with coefficients of 0.5, and is expressed
mathematically as: Current_filtered_temp = (Previous_filtered_temp / 2) +
(new_sensor_temp / 2). This filtering algorithm is fixed and cannot be changed. It is
on by default and can be turned off in BIOS.
TCC Activation
Temperature
PECI = 0C
Host controllers should utilize the min/max sample times to determine the appropriate
sample rate based on the controller's fan control algorithm and targeted response rate.
The key items to take into account when settling on a fan control algorithm are the DTS
sample rate, whether the temperature filter is enabled, how often the PECI host will
poll the processor for temperature data, and the rate at which fan speed is changed.
Depending on the designer’s specific requirements the DTS sample rate and alpha-beta
filter may have no effect on the fan control algorithm.

6.3.2.3PECI 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 where the PECI is know to be unresponsive.
Prior to a power on RESET# and during RESET# assertion, PECI is not guaranteed 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 3 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.

7.1Power-On Configuration Options
Several configuration options can be configured by hardware. The Dual-Core Intel
Xeon® Processor 5100 Series samples its hardware configuration at reset, on the
active-to-inactive transition of RESET#. For specifics on these options, please refer to
Table 7-1.
The sampled information configures the processor for subsequent operation. These
configuration options cannot be changed except by another reset. All resets reconfigure
the processor, for reset purposes, the processor does not distinguish between a “warm”
reset (PWRGOOD signal remains asserted) and a “power-on” reset.
1.Asserting this signal during RESET# will select the corresponding option.
2.Address lands not identified in this table as configuration options should not be asserted during RESET#.
7.2Clock Control and Low Power States
The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series supports the Extended HALT state
(also referred to as C1E) in addition to the HALT state and Stop-Grant state to reduce
power consumption by stopping the clock to internal sections of the processor,
depending on each particular state. See Figure 7-1 for a visual representation of the
processor low power states. The Extended HALT state is a lower power state than the
HALT state or Stop Grant state.
The Extended HALT state must be enabled via the BIOS for the processor to
remain within its specifications. Refer to the Conroe and Woodcrest Processor
Family BIOS Writer’s Guide. For processors that are already running at the lowest bus
to core frequency ratio for its nominal operating point, the processor will transition to
the HALT state instead of the Extended HALT state.
The Stop Grant state requires chipset and BIOS support on multiprocessor systems. In
a multiprocessor system, all the STPCLK# signals are bussed together, thus all
processors are affected in unison. When the STPCLK# signal is asserted, the processor
enters the Stop Grant state, issuing a Stop Grant Special Bus Cycle (SBC) for each
processor. The chipset needs to account for a variable number of processors asserting
the Stop Grant SBC on the bus before allowing the processor to be transitioned into one
of the lower processor power states. Refer to the applicable chipset specification for
more information.

7.2.1Normal State
This is the normal operating state for the processor.
7.2.2HALT or Extended HALT State
The Extended HALT state (C1E) is enabled via the BIOS. The Extended HALT state
must be enabled for the processor to remain within its specifications. The
Extended HALT state requires support for dynamic VID transitions in the platform.
7.2.2.1HALT State
HALT is a low power state entered when the processor have executed the HALT or
MWAIT instruction. When one of the processor cores execute the HALT or MWAIT
instruction, that processor core is halted; however, the other processor continues
normal operation. The processor will transition to the Normal state upon the occurrence
of SMI#, BINIT#, INIT#, LINT[1:0] (NMI, INTR), or an interrupt delivered over the
front side bus. RESET# will cause the processor to immediately initialize itself.
Features
The return from a System Management Interrupt (SMI) handler can be to either
Normal Mode or the HALT state. See the IA-32 IntelDeveloper's Manual, Volume III: System Programming Guide for more information.
The system can generate a STPCLK# while the processor is in the HAL T state. When the
system deasserts STPCLK#, the processor will return execution to the HALT state.
While in HALT state, the processor will process front side bus snoops and interrupts.
7.2.2.2Extended HALT State
Extended HALT state is a low power state entered when both processor cores have
executed the HALT or MWAIT instructions and Extended HALT state has been enabled
via the BIOS. When one of the processor cores executes the HALT instruction, that
processor core is halted; however, the other processor core continues normal
operation. The Extended HALT state is a lower power state than the HALT state or Stop
Grant state. The Extended HALT state must be enabled for the processor to remain
within its specifications.
The processor will automatically transition to a lower core frequency and voltage
operating point before entering the Extended HALT state. Note that the processor FSB
frequency is not altered; only the internal core frequency is changed. When entering
the low power state, the processor will first switch to the lower bus to core frequency
ratio and then transition to the lower voltage (VID).
While in the Extended HALT state, the processor will process bus snoops.

7.2.3Stop-Grant State
When the STPCLK# pin is asserted, the Stop-Grant state of the processor is entered 20
bus clocks after the response phase of the processor issued Stop Grant Acknowledge
special bus cycle. Once the STPCLK# pin has been asserted, it may only be deasserted
once the processor is in the Stop Grant state. Both processor cores will enter the StopGrant state once the STPCLK# pin is asserted. Additionally, both processor cores must
be in the Stop Grant state before the deassertion of STPCLK#.
Since the AGTL+ signal pins receive power from the front side bus, these pins should
not be driven (allowing the level to return to V
termination resistors in this state. In addition, all other input pins on the front side bus
should be driven to the inactive state.
BINIT# will not be serviced while the processor is in Stop-Grant state. The event will be
latched and can be serviced by software upon exit from the Stop Grant state.
RESET# will cause the processor to immediately initialize itself, but the processor will
stay in Stop-Grant state. A transition back to the Normal state will occur with the deassertion of the STPCLK# signal.

While in the Stop-Grant state, SMI#, INIT#, BINIT# and LINT[1:0] will be latched by

one occurrence of each event will be recognized upon return to the Normal state.
While in Stop-Grant state, the processor will process snoops on the front side bus and it
will latch interrupts delivered on the front side bus.
The PBE# signal can be driven when the processor is in Stop-Grant state. PBE# will be
asserted if there is any pending interrupt latched within the processor. Pending
interrupts that are blocked by the EFLAGS.IF bit being clear will still cause assertion of
PBE#. Assertion of PBE# indicates to system logic that it should return the processor to
the Normal state.
7.2.4Extended HALT Snoop or HALT Snoop State,
Stop Grant Snoop State
The Extended HAL T Snoop state is used in conjunction with the Extended HAL T state. If
the Extended HALT state is not enabled in the BIOS, the default Snoop state entered
will be the HALT Snoop state. Refer to the sections below for details on HALT Snoop
state, Stop Grant Snoop state and Extended HALT Snoop state.
7.2.4.1HALT Snoop State, Stop Grant Snoop State
The processor will respond to snoop or interrupt transactions on the front side bus
while in Stop-Grant state or in HALT state. During a snoop or interrupt transaction, the
processor enters the HAL T/Gr ant Snoop state. The processor will stay in this state until
the snoop on the front side bus has been serviced (whether by the processor or another
agent on the front side bus) or the interrupt has been latched. After the snoop is
serviced or the interrupt is latched, the processor will return to the Stop-Grant state or
HALT state, as appropriate.
7.2.4.2Extended HALT Snoop State
The Extended HALT Snoop state is the default Snoop state when the Extended HALT
state is enabled via the BIOS. The processor will remain in the lower bus to core
frequency ratio and VID operating point of the Extended HALT state.
While in the Extended HALT Snoop state, snoops and interrupt transactions are handled
the same way as in the HAL T Snoop state. After the snoop is serviced or the interrupt is
latched, the processor will return to the Extended HALT state.

8.1Introduction
Intel boxed processors are intended for system integrators who build systems from
components available through distribution channels. The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon
Processor 5100 Series will be offered as an Intel boxed processor.
Intel will offer the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series with two heat sink
configurations available for each processor frequency: 1U passive/3U+ active
combination solution and a 2U passive only solution. The 1U passive/3U+ active
combination solution is based on a 1U passive heat sink with a removable fan that will
be pre-attached at shipping. This heat sink solution is intended to be used as either a
1U passive heat sink, or a 3U+ active heat sink. Although the active combination
solution with removable fan mechanically fits into a 2U keepout, its use is not
recommended in that configuration.
The 1U passive/3U+ active combination solution in the active fan configuration is
primarily designed to be used in a pedestal chassis where sufficient air inlet space is
present and strong side directional airflow is not an issue. The 1U passive/3U+ active
combination solution with the fan removed and the 2U passive thermal solution require
the use of chassis ducting and are targeted for use in rack mount or pedestal servers.
The retention solution used for these products is called the Common Enabling Kit, or
CEK. The CEK base is compatible with both thermal solutions and uses the same hole
locations as the Intel
The 1U passive/3U+ active combination solution will utilize a removable fan capable of
4-pin pulse width modulated (PWM) control. Use of a 4-pin PWM controlled active
thermal solution helps customers meet acoustic targets in pedestal platforms through
the motherboards’s ability to directly control the RPM of the processor heat sink fan.
See Section 8.3 for more details on fan speed control, and see Section 6.3 for more on
the PWM and PECI interface along with Digital Thermal Sensors (DTS). Figure 8-1
through Figure 8-3 are representations of the two heat sink solutions.
