Thermal Specifications temperature measurements should be made. For detailed guidelines on temperature measurement methodology, refer to the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines. Figure 6-3. Case Temperature (TCASE) Measurement Location 6.2 6.2.1 6.2.2 Note: Figure is not to scale and is for reference only. Processor Thermal Features Thermal 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. Thermal 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 84 Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series Datasheet
