Intel Reference Component Validation
Intel tests reference components individually and as an assembly on mechanical test
boards and assesses performance to the envelopes specified in previous sections by
varying boundary conditions.
While component validation shows a reference design is tenable for a limited range of
conditions, customers need to assess their specific boundary conditions and perform
reliability testing based on their use conditions.
Intel reference components are also used in board functional tests to assess
performance for specific conditions.
Note:
The 1U thermal solution was tested but the ATCA solution was not fully tested.
8.2.1
Board Functional Test Sequence
Each test sequence should start with components (baseboard, heatsink assembly, and
so on) that have not been previously submitted to any reliability testing.
The test sequence should always start with a visual inspection after assembly, and
BIOS/Processor/memory test. The stress test should be then followed by a visual
inspection and then BIOS/processor/memory test.
