2.7.3 Battery Replacement

The lithium battery must be replaced with an identical battery or a battery type recommended by the manufacturer. The battery is used to run a time of day clock during the absence of power. Operation without the battery is possible but the date and time will not be retained in the absence of power. Alternatively, the VME RTC_BAT signal on P0 can provide a 3.3V voltage from the backplane to retain the date and time.
Make sure not to remove the battery support, this could damage the heatsink.
To replace the battery, proceed as follows:
4 Turn off power.
4 Use a thin plastic tool to push the battery outside the safety cache. Push from the right or left top side of the safety
cache.
4 Remove the battery.
4 Place the new battery in the socket.
4 Make sure that you insert the battery the right way round. The plus pole must be on the top!
Danger of explosion when replacing with wrong type of battery. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. The lithium battery type must be UL recog nized.
Do not dispose of lithium batteries in general trash collection. Dispose of the battery according to the local regulations dealing with the disposal of these special materials, (e.g. to the collecting points for dispose of batteries).
Reference of the battery used on the VM605x: RAYOVAC BR1225X-RA The design of an electronic circuit powered by a component class battery requires the designer to consider two interacting paths that determine a battery’s life: consumption of active electrochemical components and thermal wear-out.
4 Battery Life
Figure 17 gives an estimate of years of service at various discharge currents for BR Lithium coin cells at room temperatures. The RTC circuit power consumption is specified at 500 nA, giving an expected duration of more than 10 years in the absence of external power. In case of storage temperature or operating temperature is higher than 55°C or lower than 0°C, the battery life is reduced to 7 years in worst case.

2.8 PMC Installation

PMC modules are delivered with a full kit of parts for mounting them, and the user guide for the module normally contains instructions on how to fit the module.
The installation of the PMC on the VM605x conforms to the IEEE P1386.1 standard.
To install the XMC/PMC module, refer to Figure 19 to Figure 23 and follow the steps below:
To avoid ESD damage, wear an antistatic wrist strap to discharge static electricity while performing any part of the installation that involves touching the VM605x board or the XMC/PMC.
If you can't wear an antistatic wrist strap, touch one hand to the bare metal surface to provide grounding.
1. Place carefully the VM605x with the backplane connectors facing you on a static dissipative surface connected to a common ground by a low-resistance connection. Do not slide the board over any surface.
2. Remove the blanking plate from the appropriate XMC/PMC slot of the VM605x.
3. Check that the standoffs are attached to the XMC/PMC.

VM6052/VM6054 User's Guide - CA.DT.B19-2e
4. Install the XMC/PMC, component-side down, aligning the PCI connectors with their mating connectors on the VM605x and the XMC connector if available. Press them together so that the friction from the pins holds them together. Insert the standoff plug mounted on the VM605x into the keyhole. The module's bezel will fill the slot and provide a connection to the module.
CAUTION: PMC slot are not VIO 5V tolerant, make sure not to insert a +5V PMC on the board. Failture to observe this restriction may result in damage to the PMC or the VM605x.
5. Screw the XMC/PMC in place using the 4 mounting points, on the bottom side of the VM605x . You need a Phillips screwdriver for this stage.
6. The XMC/PMC attachment is now complete.
7. Insert the VM605x into the chassis making sure it is plugged into the backplane.

3 / Additional Board Features

3.1 RTC, Watchdog, Timers

3.1.1 Real-Time Clock (RTC)

Two Real Time Clocks (RTC) are available on the VM605x: one is embedded in the PCH while the other is a standalone, high-precision, low-power component located on the PCH SMBus (RV8564 by Micro Crystal). The latter is more precise and is powered when the board is off.
4 Standby power supplied to the RV8564 RTC
When the VM605x is powered off, the RTC is powered either by the onboard battery or through the 3.3V_AUX rail or the VBAT rail on the VME backplane.
To ensure data retention in the RV8564 RTC, VBAT must be set in the range [2.5V - 5.5V]. The maximum current drawn over the -40°C/+85°C temperature range is 500nA (VBAT= 3V, no I2C activity) or 550 nA (VBAT=5V, no I2C activity).
The RTC present in the Panther Point PCH chipset is never powered by the battery.
4 Internal PCH RTC
The PCH RTC module provides a date and time keeping device with two banks of static RAM with 128 bytes each. The BIOS programs the RTC interrupt on Legacy IRQ8 that is never shared with other interrupts. It is clocked by an external
32.768 KHz oscillator with a parabolic coefficient of 0.4 ppm/°C² and a stability of +/-20 ppm at 25°C. A 20 ppm stability
is equivalent to a 10 mn/year drift.
4 Standalone low-power RTC RV8564
The RV8564C2/B RTC by Micro Crystal features an internal oscillator, date and time keeping module with programmable alarm, timer and interrupt functions. It has an ultra low-power consumption in time keeping mode: 250nA, typical and 500 nA, maximum. Its stability is 20 ppm at 25°C. It is connected to the PCH SMBus
4 RTC management by BIOS and OS
At each startup, the BIOS retrieves the date and time information from the high-precision RV8564 RTC and copies it into the PCH RTC. This is necessary since the PCH RTC is not saved.
Any update of date and time in the BIOS settings will be done both in PCH RTC and RV8564 RTC. Regarding the RTC management by the OS, the OS should use the high-precision RV8564 RTC driver. Failing to do so, the
updates will be done only in PCH RTC and will not be saved.
If no power is applied on the RV8564 RTC, the BIOS displays the BIOS build date and time instead of the current date and time.
4 Century flag
For compatibility reasons, the BIOS implements the century flag for the high-precision RTC as follows:
4 Century Flag C = 0 for 1900-1999 years
4 Century Flag C = 1 for 2000-2099 years.
The user should check that the OS driver implements the same convention.

3.1.2 PCH Watchdog Timer

The timer is enabled by software. Once enabled it must be restarted at regular intervals. If it is not restarted the timer will expire and cause a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) or reset to the local processor. Failure to trigger the Watchdog Timer in time results in an interrupt or a system reset.
www.kontron.com // 38
VM6052/VM6054 User's Guide - CA.DT.B19-2e

3.1.3 CPLD Watchdog

In addition to the standard watchdog timer included inside the PCH, the cPLD includes a hardware watchdog timer that can be used by the operating software to monitor the normal operation of the system.
It is enabled by software, and once enabled must be restarted at regular intervals.
If not, its expiration sets off an interrupt (IRQ) to the local processor, a board reset, or a board power-cycle.
The watchdog has the following features:
4 Timeout programmable from 1 to 511 periods, by steps of 2 periods
4 Periods of 1s or 1mS
4 Lock bit: when set, can only refresh (restart) the watchdog, but not change its settings
4 4 modes: timer, reset, interrupt, or power-cycle
4 Restart counter: can manage the remaining number of resets or power-cycles done by the watchdog before
giving-up.

3.2 I2C Structure

The VM605x board features four I2C busses.
4 The first one is attached to the PCH Platform Hub Controller.
4 The remaining i2C busses are handled by the CPLD device. The Figure 27 “I2C Diagram” shows the component
attached to the different I2C buses.
I2c addresses shown below are 8-bit values with read/write bit. Shift one bit right to get 7-bit addresses.

3.3 CPLD Features

The CPLD manages following features:
4 Power-on/off control 4 Reset control 4 Local environmental control/monitoring 4 LPC interface to processor 4 I2C interfaces to local I2C bus, and backplane I2C busses (rear P1) 4 LEDs control 4 Serial lines multiplexer 4 Serial VPD and user memories 4 User and system GPIOs 4 Internal registers that allow system management

3.3.1 VM605x I2C Interface

The VM605x implements two SMBus on backplane P1.
4 VME SMbus 0/1 master interfaces:
I2C bus 1 master interface is only available if the board is VME system controller. I2C bus 0/1 master interfaces software tools are described in Fedora Release Note.
4 VME I2C bus 0 slave interface
The VM605x board SMBus 0 slave address depends on VME slot ID (slot geographical address = GA):
4 VME Slot 1: slave address is 0x18 (I2C 7bits addressing) 4 VME Slot 2: slave address is 0x19 (I2C 7bits addressing) 4 VME Slot 3: slave address is 0x1A (I2C 7bits addressing) And so on.
Each board mapped at a unique I2C address implements 7 registers. The register to access is selected by sending a 1 byte "register offset" from 0x0 to 0x6, following the I2C address byte.
These registers can also be accessed from CPU through LPC bus at I/O address 0x872 to 0x878 (cPLD registers 0x72 to 0x78).
Only registers accessible from the I2C are describe in this documentation.

3.5 GPIOs

There are up to 8 GPIOs on VM605x board and they are managed by CPLD. Refer to Fedora 16 Release Notes, section 7.7 for further details about.
4 3 GPIOs are available on P0 connector, GPIO [1-3]
4 3 GPIOs are available on P2 connector, GPIO [4-6] (option)
4 2 GPIOs are available on P2 connector on customer request, GPIO [7-8], these both GPIOs take PMC1 IO [63-64]’s
place
4 LVCMOS33 (0 - 3V3)
4 Drive strength is 4 mA; can sink or source up to 4 mA simultaneously on all GPIOs.
4 Clamping diode, but NOT 5V tolerant. So any voltage above 3.3V must be scaled by a voltage divider or limiter before
being applied to a GPIO. Maximum voltage is 3.6V. Absolute maximum voltage is 3.75V (value not suitable for continuous operation).
4 Weak pull-up (to 3V3SB board's internal standby power): 47K.
This pull-up is to prevent GPIOs from floating if left unconnected. It is not configurable, but can be overridden by an additional stronger pull-down if a pull-down is required instead.
4 Hysteresis: 250 mV
GPIOs are NOT 5V tolerant. Absolute maximum voltage on GPIOs is 3.75V (value not suitable for continuous operation). So any voltage above 3.6V must be reduced using a bridge made of two resistors before being applied to a GPIO.

3.6 Trusted Platform Module

The VM605x can offer in option a security hardware device normalized by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) called TPM (Trusted Platform Module). This device communicates with the CPU through a low speed interface (LPC), with a standardized API. It is active from reset and the very first bloc of instructions participates to the internal hash value calculated on each sequence of code executed during the boot.
The TPM doesn’t block or restrict execution by itself (unlike secure boot) but it might be used in addition to. TPM can be viewed as:
4 A device to calculate a hash value on a set of submitted data, using an algorithm designed to make it very hard to
modify the input data and still produce the same hash value. For TPM1.2, the algorithms is SHA-1
4 A way to store and use private keys without having to manipulate private keys outside in software & memory,
4 A device to deliver local and remote attestations (based on the calculated hash value) that hardware and software
running on the machine, from the reset to the end of boot, are not modified compared to a reference.

3.7 SATA NAND Flash Write Protect Mode vs Power Down Mode

The GLS85 module by Greenliant may be set through BIOS settings to either Write Protect Mode or Power Down Mode. This mode is memorised in the module and will not be changed by power-off or reset. The default mode is Write Protect.
4 Write Protect Mode
In this mode, the WP#/PD# pin of the GLS85 module is used as a WP# pin (active low). This pin is driven by cPLD and reflects the state of switch SW1.5.
4 Power Down Mode
In this mode (also called Early Power Down Mode), the WP#/PD# pin of the GLS85 module is used as a PD# pin (active low). In the event of a power failure, the cPLD will activate this signal and onboard capacitors will ensure a minimum delay of 5 ms to allow the module to perform an orderly power down (resume internal operations).
In Power Down Mode, the switch SW1.5 must be in OFF position.Setting this switch in ON position will automatically power down the module. In Power Down Mode, the Write Protect feature is not available

4.1.1 Serial Connector - COM

The VM605x integrates two serial communications ports, COM1 and COM2 in PC parlance. COM1 and COM2 are available on rear via the P2 connector.
COM1 is also available via the front panel connector.
4 COM1: EIA-232/485 (simplified RX/TX) port on RJ-12 front panel connector or on the rear P2 connector
4 COM2: EIA-232/485 port on the rear P2 connector
Each serial port is configurable via the BIOS setup and CPLD as EIA-232 or EIA-422 or EIA-485. Each port operates in full duplex mode or in half duplex mode. Fast slew rate is the default mode in EIA-485 mode.
The signaling level of EIA-485 is compatible with EIA-422, so full duplex EIA-485 may also be used for point-to-point communications with an EIA-422 serial port. When port is operating in EIA-485 mode software may configure the termination for V.35, V11 or unterminated using CPLD
In EIA-232 mode the port is always unterminated register.

4 Due to the specific dynamics of the COTS FLASH mezzanine storage market, Kontron VM605x
EC level marking does not change whenever an equivalent FLASH mezzanine model is replaced by a more recent version available on the market. Kontron makes sure the new model will offer same or higher quantity of storage.
4 For other aspects such as performance/wear leveling/lifetime, that depend heavily on the
mission profile, FLASH users are encouraged to use application specific means to verify that the storage device meets the application needs along its life time or use device unique ID and low level health data information or mechanism (such as SMART) to monitor their installed base. Kontron can also offer specific ‘frozen BOM” services for customers willing to guarantee their installed base homogeneity across deliveries and time.

5 / Power and Thermal Specifications

5.1 Power Considerations

5.1.1 System Power

The considerations presented in the ensuing sections must be taken into account by system integrators when specifying the VM605x system environment.
5.1.1.1 VM605x Baseboard
The VM605x board has been designed for optimal power input and distribution. Still it is necessary to observe certain criteria essential for application stability and reliability.
The table below indicates the absolute maximum input voltage ratings that must not be exceeded. Power supplies to be used with the VM605x should be carefully tested to ensure compliance with these ratings.
Table 40: Maximum Input Power
SUPPLY VOLTAGE MAXIMUM PERMIT VOLTAGE
+3.3VDC +3.6V
+5VDC +6V
+12V/-12VDC (1)
+14V/-14V
(1) if required for mezzanine.
+12V is mandatory for the board equipped with onboard SATA FLASH otherwise +12V is necessary if required by PMC or XMC board
-12V is necessary if required by PMC or XMC board
CAUTION: The maximum permitted voltage indicated in the table above must not be exceeded. Failure to comply with these figures may result in damage to your board.
The following table specifies the range of the different input power voltages within the board is functional. The VM605x is not guaranteed to function if the board is not operating within the prescribed limits.
Table 41: DC Operational Input Voltage Ranges
INPUT SUPPLY VOLTAGE ABSOLUTE RANGE

+5V 4.875V min to 5.25V max.
+12V (1)
-12V (1)
(1) if required for mezzanine.
11.64V min. to 12.6V max.
-12.6V min. to -11.64V max.
5.1.1.2 Backplane
Backplanes to be used with the VM605x must be adequately specified. The backplane must provide optimal power distribution for the +3.3V, +5V and +12V power inputs. It is recommended to use only backplanes which have at least two power planes for the +3.3V and +5V voltages.
Input power connections to the backplane itself should be carefully specified to ensure a minimum of power loss and to guarantee operational stability. Long input lines, under dimensioned cabling or bridges, high resistance connections, etc. must be avoided. It is recommended to use Positronic or M-type connector backplanes and power supplies where possible.

VM6052/VM6054 User's Guide - CA.DT.B19-2e
5.1.1.3 Power Supply Units
Power supplies for the VM605x must be specified with enough reserve for the remaining system consumption. In order to guarantee a stable functionality of the system, it is recommended to provide more power than the system requires.
An industrial power supply unit should be able to provide at least twice as much power as the entire system requires. An ATX power supply unit should be able to provide at least three times as much power as the entire system requires.
As the design of the VM605x has been optimized for minimal power consumption, the power supply unit shall be stable even without minimum load.
Where possible, power supplies which support voltage sensing should be used. Depending on the system configuration this may require an appropriate backplane. The power supply should be sufficient to allow for die resistance variations.
4 Tolerance
The following table provides information regarding the required characteristics for each board input voltage.
Table 42: Input Voltage Characteristics
VOLTAGE NOMINAL VALUE TOLERANCE
5V +5.0 VDC +5%/-3% 50 mV Main voltage
3.3V +3.3 VDC +5%/-3% 50 mV Main voltage +12V +12 VDC +5%/-5% 240 mV Required
-12V -12 VDC +5%/-5% 240 mV Not Required
V I/O (PCI) signalling voltage +3.3 VDC +5%/-3% 50 mV
GND Ground, not directly connected to potential earth (PE)
The output voltage overshoot generated during the application (load changes) or during the removal of the input voltage must be less than 5% of the nominal value. No voltage of reverse polarity may be present on any output during turn-on or turn-off.
PMC site 1 and 2 are no 5V tolerant. VIO voltage must be +3.3 VDC
MAX. RIPPLE
(P-P)
REMARKS
4 Regulation
The power supply shall be unconditionally stable under line, load, unload and transient load conditions including capacitive loads. The operation of the power supply must be consistent even without the minimum load on all output lines.
If the main power input is switched off, the supply voltages will not go to 0V instantly. It will take a couple of seconds until capacitors are discharged. If the voltage rises again before it went below a certain level, the circuits may enter a latch-up state where even a hard RESET will not help any more. The system must be switched off for at least 3 seconds before it may be switched on again. If problems still occur, turn off the main power for 30 seconds before turning it on again.

5.1.2 Power Consumption

The power consumption tables below list the voltage and power specifications for the VM605x board. The values were measured using an 8-slot passive VME backplane with two power supplies: one for the CPU, and the other for the hard disk.
The processor dissipates the majority of the thermal power.
The power consumption of board can vary depending on the processor part and the ambient temperature, a deviation up to -20% with regard to the table below has been noted on VM6052 board.
Following board power consumption values take into account maximum processor TDP values.

4 Configurable TDP
In order to dynamically adjust the processor’s behavior and package TDP to a desired system performance and power envelope, Intel has introduced Configurable TDP (cTDP) technology. This technology is available on VM6052 board only and allows operation in situations where extra cooling is available or situations where a cooler and quieter mode of operation is desired. With cTDP, the processor is now capable of altering the TDP power with an alternate ensured frequency. Configurable TDP can be enabled using firmware.
The cTDP consists of three modes :
4 Nominal: This is the processor’s rated frequency and TDP.
4 TDP-Up: When extra cooling is available, this mode specifies a higher TDP and higher ensured frequency versus the
nominal mode. Recommended mode.
4 TDP-Down: When a cooler or quieter mode of operation is desired, this mode specifies a lower TDP and lower
ensured frequency versus the nominal mode.
www.kontron.com // 78
VM6052/VM6054 User's Guide - CA.DT.B19-2e
In each mode, the Intel Turbo Boost Technology power and frequency ranges are reprogrammed and the operating system is given a new effective HFM operating point. The cTDP mode does not change the maximum Turbo frequency. On VM6052 board turbo mode is disabled.
Configurable TDP is limited to a ULV processor i7-3517UE used on VM6052 board. TDP-Up mode is recommended for VM6052 in SA class and Nominal mode is recommended for VM6052 in WA class

5.1.3 Maximum Power Consumption of PMC Module

A maximum power of 7.5W is available on each PMC slot. This is in accordance with the draft standard P1386/Draft
2.4a. The maximum power of 7.5W can be arbitrarily divided on the 3.3V and 5V voltage lines.
PMC site 1 and 2 are no 5V VIO tolerant. PMC VIO voltage must be +3.3 VDC.
The following table indicates the current of a PMC module.

3.3V 2.27A 4.6A 5V 1.5A 3A
+12V 0.5A 2A
-12V 0.4A 1A
Standard limit current is the limit current defined by P1386 standard. PMC should be able to dissipate at maximum 7.5W per voltage rail (3.3V and 5V).
Design limit current is the limit current defined by the board design, the current that not be exceed to avoid board damage.

5.1.4 Maximum Power Consumption of XMC Modules

A maximum power of 7.5W is available on each XMC slot and it can be arbitrarily divided on the 3.3V and 5V (VPWR) voltage lines. XMC modules are based on 3.3V power along with variable power (VPWR) defined as either 5V or 12V in the ANSI/VITA 42.0-200x XMC Switched Mezzanine Card Auxiliary Standard specification. On the VM605x, the VPWR is configured to 5 V.
The following table indicates the current of a XMC module.

5.2 Thermal Consideration

The following chapter provide system integrators with the necessary information to satisfy thermal and airflow requirements when implementing VM605x applications.

5.2.1 Board Thermal Monitoring

To ensure optimal and long-term reliability of the VM605x, all onboard components must remain within the maximum temperature specifications. The most critical components on the VM605x are the processor and the memory. Operating the VM605x above the maximum operating limits will result in permanent damage to the board.
The VM605x includes several temperature sensors to measure the onboard temperature values:
4 Thermal sensors integrated in the processor
4 Four onboard temperature sensors
2
The four onboard temperature sensors (Texas Instrument LM73 and Nuvoton NCT7802Y) are located on the I and managed by the CPLDs (SMBus master interface). Refer to Figure 27 “I2C Diagram” page 39.
4 NCT7802Y Key specifications:
NCT7802Y is a Nuvoton Hardware Monitor IC, which can monitor power supply voltages and temperatures.
NCT7802Y designs on VM605x boards monitors processor core, memory, VME 12V and VME 5V voltages.
NCT7802Y supports one on-die temperature sensor and can also get the Intel® CPU temperature directly via Intel® PECI3.0 interface. NCT7802Y supports 3 alarm outputs: ALERT#, T_CRIT#, RESET# signals to activate system protec tion, connected to cPLD for event reporting.
As LM73 temperature sensors, NCT7802Y temperature and voltages monitoring comes with Linux "sensors" command.

5.2.2 Processor Thermal Monitoring

To allow optimal operation and long-term reliability of the VM605x, the 3rd generation Intel® Core™ i7 Ivy Bridge processor must remain within the maximum die temperature specifications. The maximum operating temperature for the processor dies (TJMAX) is 105°C (including graphic and core). The TJMAX temperature is the temperature not to exceed, to avoid entering the throttling mode.
The 3rd generation Intel® Core ™ i7 processor uses the Adaptive Thermal Monitor feature to protect the processor from overheating and includes the following on-die temperature sensors:
4 One Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) for monitoring each processor core
4 One Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) for monitoring the graphics core
4 One Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) for monitoring the die temperature
4 Catastrophic Cooling Failure Sensor (THERMTRIP#)
These sensors are integrated in the processor and work without any interoperability of the uEFI BIOS or the software application. Thermal Control Circuit allows the processor to maintain a safe operating temperature without the need for special software drivers or interrupt handling routines.
4 Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS)
The 3rd generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor includes four on-die Digital Thermal Sensors (DTS), one per processor cores, one for the graphics core and one for the package die. They can be read via an internal register of the processor. The temperature returned by the Digital Thermal Sensor will always be at or below the maximum operating temperature (105°C). Via the Digital Thermal Sensors, the uEFI BIOS or the application software can measure the processor die temperature.
4 Adaptive Thermal Monitor
The Adaptive Thermal Monitor feature reduces the processor power consumption and the temperature when the processor silicon exceeds its maximum operating temperature until the processor operates at or below its maximum operating temperature.
The processor core power reduction is achieved by:
4 Frequency/sVID Control (by reducing of processor core voltage)
4 Clock Modulation (by turning the internal processor core clocks off and on)
Adaptive Thermal Monitor dynamically selects the appropriate method. uEFI BIOS is not required to select a specific method as with previous-generation processors supporting Intel® Thermal Monitor 1 (TM1) and Intel® Thermal Monitor 2 (TM2).
The Adaptive Thermal Monitor does not require any additional hardware, software drivers, or interrupt handling routines.
4 Frequency/sVID Control
Frequency/sVID Control reduces the processor’s operating frequency (using the core ratio multiplier) and the input voltage (using serial VID signals). This combination of lower frequency and VID results in a reduction of the processor power consumption.
When the processor temperature reaches the TCC activation point, the event is reported to the bit PROCHOT of the CPLD register Alert Control & Status (0x85B). Refer to chapter 3.3 page 40 for register description.
Running the processor at the lower frequency and voltage will reduce power consumption and should allow the processor to cool off. If the processor temperature does not drop below its maximum operating temperature, a second frequency and voltage transition will take place.
This sequence of temperature checking and Frequency/sVID reduction will continue until either the minimum frequency has been reached or the processor temperature has dropped below its maximum operating temperature. If the processor temperature remains above its maximum operating temperature even after the minimum frequency has been reached, then Clock Modulation at that minimum frequency will be initiated.
When the LED3 on the front panel is lit red after boot-up, it indicates that the processor die temperature is above 105°C.
4 Clock Modulation
www.kontron.com // 82
VM6052/VM6054 User's Guide - CA.DT.B19-2e
Clock Modulation reduces power consumption by rapidly turning the internal processor core clocks off and on at a duty cycle that should reduce power dissipation (typically a 30-50% duty cycle).
Once the temperature has dropped below the maximum operating temperature, the TCC goes inactive and clock modulation ceases.
When the LED3 on the front panel is lit red after boot-up, it indicates that the processor die temperature is above 105°C.
4 Catastrophic Cooling Failure Sensor
The Catastrophic Cooling Failure Sensor protects the processor from catastrophic overheating.
The Catastrophic Cooling Failure Sensor threshold is set well above the normal operating temperature to ensure that there are no false trips. The processor will stop all executions when the junction temperature exceeds approximately 130°C. Once activated, the event remains latched until the VM605x undergoes a power-on restart (all power off and then on again).
This function cannot be enabled or disabled in the uEFI BIOS. It is always enabled to ensure that the processor is protected in any event.

5.2.3 Chipset Thermal Monitor Feature

The Intel® QM77 Chipset includes one on-die Thermal Diode Sensor to measure the chipset die temperature. The maximum Intel® QM77 Chipset junction temperature is 108°C.
The PCH data sheet specifies: “The range is approximatively 40°C to 130°C. Temperature below 40°C will be truncated to 40°C”.

5.2.4 External Thermal Regulation

To ensure the best possible basis for operational stability and long-term reliability, the VM605x is equipped with a heat sink (SA and WA classes only). Coupled together with system chassis, which provides variable configurations for forced airflow, controlled active thermal energy dissipation is guaranteed.
The physical size, shape, and construction of the heat sink ensures the lowest possible thermal resistance. In addition, the VM6052/VM6054 has been specifically designed to efficiently support forced airflow as found in modern VME systems.
4 Thermal Characteristics Graphs
The thermal characteristic graphs shown in the following sections illustrate the maximum ambient air temperature as a function of the volumetric airflow rate for the processor frequency indicated.
The diagrams are intended to serve as guidance for reconciling board and system with the required computing power/ frequency considering the thermal aspect.
Two diagrams are provided, the first for VM6052 SA and WA classes, the second for VM6054 SA and WA classes. There are several curves representing upper level working points based on processor frequency (or configurable TDP for VM6052 board). When operating below the corresponding curve, the CPU runs steadily without any intervention of thermal supervision. When operated above the corresponding curve, various thermal protection mechanisms may take effect resulting in temporarily reduced CPU performance or finally in an emergency stop in order to protect the CPU and the chipset from thermal destruction. In real applications this means that the board can be operated temporarily at a higher ambient temperature or at a reduced flow rate and still provide some margin for temporarily requested peak performance before thermal protection will be activated.

VM6052/VM6054 User's Guide - CA.DT.B19-2e
4 How to read the Diagram
Select a board and its class, a processor frequency (or a cTDP) and choose a specific working point. For a given flow rate there is a maximum airflow input temperature (= ambient temperature) provided. Below this operating point, thermal supervision will not be activated. Above this operating point, thermal supervision will become active protecting the CPU from thermal destruction. The minimum airflow rate provided must be higher than the value specified in the diagram.
Values indicated in these graphs are issued from Thermal Analysis Tool from Intel with 100% of processor workload combined with GPU benchmark. These benchmarks exceed most of customer’s applications in term of thermal dissipation.
4 Volumetric Flow Rate
The volumetric flow rate refers to an airflow through a fixed cross-sectional area (i.e. slot width x depth). The volumetric flow rate is specified in cfm (cubic-feetper- minute).
4 Airflow
At a given cross-sectional area and a required flow rate, an average, homogeneous airflow speed can be calculated using the following formula:
Airflow = Volumetric Flow Rate / Area
The airflow is specified in m/s (meter-per-second).

4 Default Frequency
Default frequency (or configurable TDP) on VM605x boards depends on class board to satisfy operating temperature. With this default setting, the VM605x processing performance is guaranteed across the whole operating temperature range. The VM605x thermal design is such as the processor, running at this frequency (or cTDP) does not enter thermal management mode (frequency throttling) when the processor temperature is maintained within the approved operating range.

4 Intel® Turbo Boost Technology
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is one of the many exciting features that Intel has built into latest-generation Intel® microarchitecture. It automatically allows processor cores to run faster than the base operating frequency if it's operating below power, current, and temperature specification limits.
On VM605x boards this technology is not recommended regarding to power dissipation rising and then turbo mode is disabled by default.
Dynamically increasing performance
Intel Turbo Boost Technology is activated when the Operating System (OS) requests the highest processor performance state (P0).
The maximum frequency of Intel Turbo Boost Technology is dependent on the number of active cores. The amount of time the processor spends in the Intel Turbo Boost Technology state depends on the workload and operating environ ment.
Any of the following can set the upper limit of Intel Turbo Boost Technology on a given workload:
