Introduction
1Introduction
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series are 64-bit server/workstation
processors utilizing four Intel Core™ microarchitecture cores. These processors are
based on Intel’s 65 nanometer process technology combining high performance with
the power efficiencies of low-power Intel Core™ microarchitecture cores. The QuadCore Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series consists of two die, each containing two
processor cores. All processors maintain the tradition of compatibility with IA-32
software. Some key features include on-die, 32 KB Level 1 instruction data caches per
core and 4 MB shared Level 2 cache per die (8 MB Total Cache per processor) with
Advanced Transfer Cache Architecture. The processor’s 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, which results in
10.6 GBytes per second data transfer. The 1066 MHz Front Side Bus is based on a 266
MHz system clock for an 8.5 GBytes per second data transfer rate. The Quad-Core
Intel® Xeon® Processor X5300 Series offers higher clock frequencies than the
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor E5300 Series for platforms that are targeted for
the performance optimized segment. The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor L5300
Series is a lower voltage, lower power processor intended for ultra dense platforms.
Enhanced thermal and power management capabilities are implemented including
Thermal Monitor 1 (TM1), Thermal Monitor 2 (TM2) and Enhanced Intel SpeedStep®
Technology. TM1 and TM2 provide efficient and effective cooling in high temperature
situations. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology provides power management
capabilities to servers and workstations.
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series features include Advanced
Dynamic Execution, enhanced floating point and multi-media units, Streaming SIMD
Extensions 2 (SSE2) and Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3). Advanced Dynamic
Execution improves speculative execution and branch prediction internal to the
processor. The floating point and multi-media units include 128-bit wide registers and a
separate register for data movement. SSE3 instructions provide highly efficient doubleprecision floating point, SIMD integer, and memory management operations.
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series supports Intel® 64 architecture
as an enhancement to Intel's IA-32 architecture. This enhancement allows the
processor to execute operating systems and applications written to take advantage of
the 64-bit extension technology. Further details on Intel 64 architecture and its
programming model can be found in the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architecture Software
Developer's Manual.
In addition, the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series supports the Execute
Disable Bit functionality . When used in conjunction with a supporting operating system,
Execute Disable allows memory to be marked as executable or non executable. This
feature can prevent some classes of viruses that exploit buffer overrun vulnerabilities
and can thus help improve the overall security of the system. Further details on
Execute Disable can be found at http://www.intel.com/cd/ids/developer/
asmo-na/eng/149308.htm.
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series supports Intel® Virtualization
T echnology for hardw are-assisted virtualization within the processor. Intel Virtualization
Technology is a set of hardware enhancements that can improve virtualization
solutions. Intel Virtualization Technology is used in conjunction with Virtual Machine
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series Datasheet

Monitor software enabling multiple, independent software environments inside a single
platform. Further details on Intel Virtualization Technology can be found at
http://developer.intel.com/technology/vt.
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series are intended for high performance
server and workstation systems. The processors support a Dual Independent Bus (DIB)
architecture with one processor on each bus, up to two processor sockets in a system.
The DIB architecture provides improved performance by allowing increased FSB speeds
and bandwidth. The processors will be packaged in an FC-LGA6 Land Grid Array
package with 771 lands for improved power delivery. It utilizes a surface mount
LGA771 socket that supports Direct Socket Loading (DSL).

Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series based platforms implement
independent core voltage (V
) power planes for each processor. FSB termination
CC
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 processors including Flexible Motherboard
Guidelines (FMB) (see Section 2.13.1). Refer to the appropriate platform design
guidelines for implementation details.
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series support 1333, or 1066 MHz 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. Working together , the 4X data bus and 2X
address bus provide a data bus bandwidth of up to 10.66 GBytes (1333 MHz), or 8.5
GBytes (1066 MHz) per second. 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).

Introduction
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).

2.1Front Side Bus and GTLREF
Most Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series FSB signals use 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_DAT A_MID, GTLREF_DA T A_END,
GTLREF_ADD_MID and GTLREF_ADD_END) which are used by the receivers to
determine if a signal is a logical 0 or a logical 1. GTLREF_DATA_MID and
GTLREF_DATA_END are used for the 4X front side bus signaling group and
GTLREF_ADD_MID and GTLREF_ADD_END are used for the 2X and common clock front
side bus signaling groups. GTLREF_DATA_MID, GTLREF_DATA_END,
GTLREF_ADD_MID, and GTLREF_ADD_END must be generated on the baseboard (See
Table 2-20 for GTLREF_DATA_MID, GTLREF_DATA_END, GTLREF_ADD_MID and
GTLREF_ADD_END specifications). Refer to the applicable platform design guidelines
for details. Termination resistors (R

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

designing a system. Contact your Intel Field Representative to obtain the applicable

2.3Decoupling Guidelines
Due to its large number of transistors and high internal clock speeds, the processor is
capable of generating large average current swings between low and full power states.
This may cause voltages on power planes to sag below their minimum values if bulk
decoupling is not adequate. Larger bulk storage (C
supply current during longer lasting changes in 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 2-12. 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.

), such as electrolytic capacitors,
BULK
2.3.1V
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 2-12). For further information regarding power delivery, decoupling
and layout guidelines, refer to the appropriate platform design guidelines.
2.3.2V
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,

2.3.3Front Side Bus AGTL+ Decoupling
The processor integrates 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 processor 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.
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 Model Specific Register (MSR). F or details
of operation at core frequencies lower than the maximum rated processor speed, refer
to the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual.
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. Processor DC specifications for the BCLK[1:0] inputs are provided in
Table 2-21. These specifications must be met while also meeting signal integrity
requirements as outlined in Table 2-21. The processor utilizes differential clocks.

to select the FSB frequency. Please refer to Table 2-17 for DC specifications. Table 2-2
defines the possible combinations of the signals and the frequency associated with each
combination. The frequency is determined by the processor(s), chipset, and clock
synthesizer. All FSB agents must operate at the same core and FSB frequency. See the

specifications. Refer to the appropriate platform design guidelines for decoupling and
routing guidelines.
2.5Voltage Identification (VID)
The Voltage Identification (VID) specification for the processor 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. Please refer to Table 2-18 for the DC specifications
for these signals. A voltage range is provided in Table 2-12 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.
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series uses six voltage identification
signals, VID[6:1], to support automatic selection of power supply voltages. 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® X eon® processors or
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.

Although the Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) and Enterprise Voltage Regulator-Down
(EVRD) 11.0 Design Guidelines defines VID[7:0], VID[7] and VID[0] are not used on the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series. Please refer to the Quad-Core
Intel® Xeon® Processor E5300 Series, Harpertown and Wolfdale-DP Processors
Compatibility Design Guide for details.
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series provide the ability to operate
while transitioning to an adjacent VID and its associated processor core voltage (V
CC
).
This will represent a DC shift in the load line. It should be noted that a low-to-high or
high-to-low voltage state change may result in as many VID transitions as necessary to
reach the target core voltage. Transitions above the specified VID are not permitted.
Table 2-12 includes VID step sizes and DC shift ranges. Minimum and maximum
voltages must be maintained as shown in Table 2-13.
The VRM or EVRD utilized must be capable of regulating its output to the value defined
by the new VID. DC specifications for dynamic VID transitions are included in
Table 2-12. Refer to the Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) and Enterprise Voltage
Regulator-Down (EVRD) 11.0 Design Guidelines for further details.
Power source characteristics must be guaranteed to be stable whenever the supply to
the voltage regulator is stable.

2.Shading denotes the expected VID range of the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series.

Section 6.3.3), Extended HALT state transitions (see Section 7.2.2), or Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology transitions

4.Once the VRM/EVRD is operating after power-up, if either the Output Enable sig nal is de-asserte d or a specific VID off code is
received, the VRM/EVRD must turn off its output (the output should go to high impedance) within 500 ms and latch off until
power is cycled. Refer to Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) and Enterprise Voltage Regulator-Down (EVRD) 11.0 Design
Guidelines.

interfere with some TAP functions, complicate debug probing, and prevent boundary
scan testing. A resistor must be used when tying bidirectional signals to power or
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 inputs and 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.
For each processor socket, connect the TESTIN1 and TESTIN2 signals together, then

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_DATA_MID, GTLREF_DATA_END,
GTLREF_ADD_MID, and GTLREF_ADD_END 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+ 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#, etc.) 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#, etc.) and can become active at any time during the
clock cycle. Table 2-6 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 Section 2.13 for the DC
specifications. See Section 7 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
accepting an input of the appropriate voltage. Similar considerations must be made for
TCK, TDO, TMS, 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
PECI is an Intel proprietary one-wire interface that provides a communication channel
between Intel processor and external thermal monitoring devices. The Quad-Core
Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series contains Digital Thermal Sensors (DTS)
distributed throughout the die. These sensors are implemented as analog-to-digital
converters calibrated at the factor for reasonable accuracy to provide a digital
representation of relative processor temperature. PECI provides an interface to relay
the highest DTS temperature within a die to external m anagement devices for thermal/
fan speed control. More detailed information may be found in the Platform Environment
Control Interface (PECI) External Architecture Specification.

2.11Mixing Processors
Intel supports and validates dual processor configurations only in which both
processors operate with the same FSB frequency , core frequency, number of cores, 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.
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series Datasheet27
Electrical Specifications
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® Technology
transitions, or assertion of the FORCEPR# signal.
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 AP-485 Intel® Processor Identification and the CPUID Instruction application note.
2.12Absolute Maximum and Minimum Ratings
Table 2-11 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.
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.
5.Failure to adhere to this specification can affect the long-term reliability of the processor.

2.13.1Flexible Motherboard Guidelines (FMB)
The Flexible Motherboard (FMB) guidelines are estimates of the maximum values the
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series will have over certain time periods.
The values are only estimates and actual specifications for future processors may differ.
Processors may or may not have specifications equal to the FMB value in the
foreseeable future. System designers should meet the FMB values to ensure their
systems will be compatible with future processors.

2.14AGTL+ FSB Specifications
Routing topologies are dependent on the processors supported and the chipset used in
the design. Please refer to the appropriate platform design guidelines for specific
implementation details.In most cases, termination resistors are not required as these
are integrated into the processor silicon. See Table 2-7 for details on which signals do
not include on-die termination. Please refer to Table 2-20 for R
Valid high and low levels are determined by the input buffers via comparing with a
reference voltage called GTLREF_DATA_MID, GTLREF_DATA_END, GTLREF_ADD_MID,
and GTLREF_ADD_END. GTLREF_DATA_MID and GTLREF_DATA_END are the reference
voltage for the FSB 4X da ta signals , GTLRE F_ADD_ MID and G TLRE F_ADD_ END are the
reference voltage for the FSB 2X address signals and common clock signals. Table 2-20
lists the GTLREF_DATA_MID, GTLREF_DATA_END, GTLREF_ADD_MID, and
GTLREF_ADD_END specifications.
The AGTL+ reference voltages (GTLREF_DATA_MID, GTLREF_DATA_END,
GTLREF_ADD_MID, and GTLREF_ADD_END) must be generated on the baseboard
using high precision voltage divider circuits. Refer to the appropriate platform design

The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series are packaged in a Flip Chip Land
Grid Array (FC-LGA6) package that interfaces to the baseboard via a LGA771 socket.
The package consists of two processor dies 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:

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.
Table 3-1.Package Loading Specifications
Parameter
Static Compressive Load1.57 mm
Dynamic Compressive

Transient Bend Limits1.57 mm
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 du ring manufacturing such as board assembly
and system integration. It is a relatively slow bending event compared to shock and vibration tests.
8.For more information on the transient bend limits, please refer to the MAS document entitled
Manufacturing with Intel® Components using 771-land LGA Package that Interfaces with the Motherboard

6.1Package Thermal Specifications
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 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 Quad-
Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines and

long-term reliability of the processor and system. For more details on thermal/
mechanical design guidelines.
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series 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 6.4. 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 6.3, 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 Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor E5300 (see Figure 6-1; Table 6-2), QuadCore Intel® Xeon® Processor L5300 Series (see Figure 6-4; Table 6-9), and Quad-Core
Intel® Xeon® Processor X5365 Series (see Figure 6-3; Table 6-7) support a single
Thermal Profile. For these processors, it is expected that the Thermal Control Circuit
(TCC) would only be activated for very brief periods of time when running the most
) specifications as defined by the applicable thermal profile.

power-intensive applications. Refer to the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300
Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelinesfor details on system thermal solution
design, thermal profiles and environmental considerations.
For the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5300 Series, Intel has developed two
thermal profiles, either of which can be implemented. Both ensure adherence to Intel
reliability requirements. Thermal Profile A (see Figure 6-2; Table 6-4) 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 6-2; Table 6-5) 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. Refer to the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines for details on system thermal
solution design, thermal profiles and environmental considerations.
The upper point of the thermal profile consists of the Thermal Design Power (TDP) and
the associated T
value. It should be noted that the upper point associated with the
CASE
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5300 Series Thermal Profile B (x = TDP and y =

CASE_MAX_B
@ TDP) represents a thermal solution design point. In actuality the
processor case temperature will not reach this value due to TCC activation (see
Figure 6-2 for Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5300 Series). The lower point of
the thermal profile consists of x = P

thermal profile, is equal to 50°C.
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 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 6.3. 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. Thermal Monitor 1 and Thermal Monitor 2
feature must be enabled for the processor to remain within its specifications.
Intel has developed thermal profiles specific to enable the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon®
Processor LV 5318, 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.
88Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series Datasheet
Thermal Specifications
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 oper ates 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 Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor LV 5318 in Embedded Applications Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines for details on system thermal solution design, thermal

6.3Processor Thermal Features
6.3.1Thermal Monitor Features
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series provide two thermal monitor features,
Thermal Monitor (TM1) and Enhanced Thermal Monitor (TM2). The TM1 and TM2 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.
6.3.2Thermal 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
98Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series Datasheet
Thermal Specifications
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.
When the TM1 is enabled, and a high temperature situation exists (that is, TCC is
active), the clocks will be modulated by alternately turning 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 thermal solutions designed to the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor E5300
Thermal Profile, the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor L5300 Series Thermal Profile,
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5365 Series Thermal Profile, or Quad-Core
Intel® Xeon® Processor X5300 Series 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 Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5300 Series 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 Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines for information on
designing a thermal solution.
The duty cycle for the TCC, when activated by the TM1, is factory configured and
cannot be modified. The TM1 does not require any additional hardware, software
drivers, or interrupt handling routines.
6.3.3Thermal Monitor 2
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series adds support 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 all 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 dies. 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.
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 Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series). When the TCC is activated,
the processor automatically transitions to the new frequency. This transition occurs
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series Datasheet99
rapidly , on the order of 5 µs. During the frequency tr ansition, 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 6-7 for an illustration of this ordering.

6.3.4On-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 1 and Thermal Monitor 2
features. On-Demand mode is intended as a means to reduce system level power
consumption. Systems utilizing the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 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 OnDemand mode, the duty cycle of the clock modulation is programmable via bits 3:1 of

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.
6.3.5PROCHOT# Signal
An external signal, PROCHOT# (processor hot) is asserted when the processor die
temperature of any 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#. R efer to the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures
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
temperature, or the case temperature. Thermal solutions must be designed to the
processor specifications and cannot be adjusted based on experimental measurements
of T
, or PROCHOT#.

6.3.6FORCEPR# Signal
The FORCEPR# (force power reduction) input can be used by the platform to cause the
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series to activate the TCC. If the processor
supports Thermal Monitor 2 (TM2), and has Thermal Monitor 2 and Thermal Monitor
(TM) properly enabled, assertion of the FORCEPR# signal will immediately activate
Thermal Monitor 2. If the processor does not support Thermal Monitor 2, but has
Thermal Monitor properly enabled, FORCEPR# signal assertion will cause Thermal
Monitor to become active. Please refer to the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300
Series NDA Specification Update to determine which processors support TM2 and
Conroe and Woodcrest Processor Family BIOS Writer’s Guide for details on enabling
these capabilities. Assertion of the FORCEPR# signal will activate TCC for all processor
cores. The TCC will remain active until the system deasserts FORCEPR#.
FORCEPR# is an asynchronous input, which can be employed to thermally protect other
system components. To use the voltage regulator (VR) as an example, TCC circuit
activation will reduce 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.
Refer to the appropriate platform design guidelines for details on implementing the
FORCEPR# signal feature.

6.3.7THERMTRIP# Signal
Regardless of whether or not TM1 or TM2 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 Table 5-1). At this
point, the FSB signal THERMTRIP# will go active and stay active as described in
Table 5-1. THERMTRIP# activation is independent of processor activity and does not
generate any bus cycles. Intel also recommends the removal of V

6.4Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI)
6.4.1Introduction
PECI offers an interface for thermal monitoring of Intel processor and chipset
components. It uses a single wire, thus alleviating routing congestion issues.
Figure 6-8 shows an example of the PECI topology in a system with Quad-Core Intel®
Xeon® Processor 5300 Series. PECI uses CRC checking on the host side to ensure
reliable transfers between the host and client devices. Also, data transfer speeds across
the PECI interface are negotiable within a wide range (2 Kbps to 2 Mbps). The PECI
interface on Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series is disabled by default and
must be enabled through BIOS. More information on this can be found in the Conroe and Woodcrest Processor Family BIOS Writer’s Guide.

and TCC Activation on PECI-Based Systems
Fan speed control solutions based on PECI utilize a T
processor IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET MSR. This MSR uses the same offset
temperature format as PECI, though it contains no sign bit. Thermal management
devices should infer the T
should utilize the relative temperature value delivered over PECI in conjunction with the
MSR value to control or optimize fan speeds. Figure 6-9 shows a conceptual fan control
diagram using PECI temperatures.
