Thermal Specifications 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. 6.3.2.3 PECI GetTemp0() and GetTemp1() Error Code Support The error codes supported for the processor GetTemp0() and GetTemp1() commands are listed in Table 6-11 below: Table 6-11. GetTemp0() and GetTemp1() Error Codes Error Code 0x8000 0x8002 Description General sensor error Sensor is operational, but has detected a temperature below its operational range (underflow), currently 30oC absolute temperature. § 110 Document Number: 318080-002
