1Introduction
The Quad-Core Intel® X eon® Processor 5400 Series is a server/workstation processor
utilizing four 45-nm Hi-k next generation Intel® Core™ microarchitecture cores. The
processor is manufactured on Intel’s 45 nanometer process technology combining high
performance with the power efficiencies of a low-power microarchitecture. The Quad-
Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series maintains the tradition of compatibility with
IA-32 software. Some key features include on-die, primary 32-kB instruction cache and
32-kB write-back data cache in each core and 12 MB (2 x 6MB) Level 2 cache with
Intel® Advanced Smart Cache architecture. The processors’ Data Prefetch Logic
speculatively fetches data to the L2 cache before an L1 cache requests occurs, resulting
in reduced effective bus latency and improved performance. The 1066 MHz Front Side
Bus (FSB) is a quad-pumped bus running off a 266 MHz system clock making
8.5 GBytes per second data transfer rates possible. The 1333 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB)
is a quad-pumped bus running off a 333 MHz system clock making 10.66 GBytes per
second data transfer rates possible. The 1600 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) is a quad-
pumped bus running off a 400 MHz system clock making 12.80 GBytes per second data
transfer rates possible.
Enhanced thermal and power management capabilities are implemented including
Intel® Thermal Monitor 1, Intel® Thermal Monitor 2 and Enhanced Intel SpeedStep®
Technology. These technologies are targeted for dual processor configurations in
enterprise environments. Intel ® Thermal Monitor 1 and Intel® Thermal Monitor
provide efficient and effective cooling in high temperature situations. Enhanced Intel
SpeedStep Technology provides power management capabilities to servers and
workstations.
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series features include Intel® Wide Dynamic
Execution, enhanced floating point and multi-media units, Streaming SIMD Extensions
2 (SSE2), Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3), and Streaming SIMD Extensions 4.1
(SSE4.1). 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 double-precision floating point, SIMD integer, and memory
management oper ations.
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series support 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 Architectures Software Developer’s
Manual, at http://www.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/.
In addition, the Quad-Core Intel® Xe on® Processor 5400 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 5400 Series support Intel® Virtualization
Technology for hardware-assisted virtualization within the processor. Intel Virtualization
Technology is a set of hardware enhancements that can improve virtualization
10
solutions. Intel Virtualization Technology is used in conjunction with Virtual Machine
Monitor software enabling multiple, independent softw are en vironments inside a single
platform. Further details on Intel Virtualization Technology can be found at
http://developer.intel.com/technology/platform-technology/virtualization/index.htm.
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series is intended for high performance
server and workstation systems. The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 54 00 Series
supports 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 Quad-Core Intel®
Xeon® Processor 5400 Series will be packaged in an FC-LGA Land Grid Array package
with 771 lands for improved power delivery. It utilizes a surface mount LGA771 socket
that supports Direct Socket Loading (DSL).
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series-based platforms implement
independent core voltage (VCC) power planes for each processor. FSB termination
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 Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400
Series 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 5400 Series supports either 1066 MHz,
1333 MHz, or 1600 MHz Front Side Bus operat ions. The FSB utilizes a split-tr ansaction,
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. 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 gui d e li nes ( ref er to
Section 1.3).
1.1 Terminology
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, whe n 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).

Processor 5400 Series Electrical
Specifications
2.1 Front Side Bus and GTLREF
Most Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 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 VTT. Because platforms implement separate
power planes for each processor (and chipset), separate VCC and VTT supplies are
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_DA TA_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 is used for the 4X front side bus signaling group and
GTLREF_ADD_MID and GTLREF_ADD_END is 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 2-19 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 (RTT) for AGTL+ signals are provided on the processor
silicon and are terminated to VTT. The on-die termination resistors are always enabled
on the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series to control reflections on the
transmission line. Intel chipsets also provide on-die termination, thus eliminating the
need to terminate the bus on the baseboard for most AGTL+ signals.
Some FSB signals do not include on-die termination (RTT) and must be terminated on
the baseboard. See Table 2-8 for details regarding these signals.
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
signal simulation of the FSB, including trace lengths, is highly recommended when
designing a system. Contact your Intel Field Representative to obtain the Quad-Core
Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series signal integrity models, which includes buffer and
package models.

2.2 Power and Ground Lands
For clean on-chip processor core power distribution, the processor has 223 VCC (power)
and 267 VSS (ground) inputs. All VCC lands must be connected to the processor power
plane, while all VSS lands must be connected to the system ground plane. The
processor VCC lands must be supplied with the voltage determined by the processor
Voltage IDentification (VID) signals. See Table 2-3 for VID definitions.
Twenty two lands are specified as VTT, which provide termination for the FSB and
provides powe r to the I/O buffers. T he platf orm must implement a separate supply for
these lands which meets the V TT specifications outlined in Table 2-12.
2.3 Decoupling Guidelines
Due to its large number of transistors and high internal clock speeds, the Quad-Core
Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series 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
(CBULK), such as electrolytic capacitors, supply voltage 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 th e component. For further
information and guidelines, refer to the appropriate platform design guidelines .
2.3.1 VCC Decoupling
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 voltage 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.
2.3.2 VTT Decoupling
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,
decoupling and layout guidelines, refer to the appropriate platform design guidelines.
2.3.3 Front Side Bus AGTL+ Decoup ling
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series 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.

Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series Electrical Specifications
2.4 Front 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 Quad-Core Intel® Xeon®
Processor 5400 Series 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 Intel® 64 and I A-32 Architectures So ftware Developer’s Manual ). 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 v alue 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 MSR. For details of operation at core
frequencies lower than the maximum r ated processor speed, refer to the Intel® 64 and
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 2-20. These specifications must be met while also meeting signal integrity
requirements as outlined in Table 2-20. The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400
Series utilizes differential clocks. Table 2-1 contains processor core frequency to FSB
multipliers and their corresponding core frequencies.
Notes:
1. Individual processors operate only at or below the frequency marked on the package.
2. Listed frequencies are not necessarily committed production frequencies.
3. For valid processor core frequencies, see Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series Specification
Update.
4. The lowest bus ratio supported by the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series is 1/6.
2.4.1 Front Side Bus Frequency Select Signals (BSEL[2:0])
Upon power up, the FSB frequency is set to the maximum supported by the individual
processor. BSEL[2:0] are CMOS outputs which must be pulled up to VTT, and are used
to select the FSB frequency. Please refer to Table 2-15 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
appropriate platform design guidelines for further details.

2.4.2 PLL Power Supply
An on-die PLL filter solution is implemented on the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor
5400 Series. The VCCPLL input is used for this configuration in Quad-Core Intel® X eon®
Processor 5400 Series-based platforms. Please refer to Table 2-12 for DC
specifications. Refer to the appropriate platform design guidelines for decoupling and
routing guidelines.
2.5 Voltage Identification (VID)
The Voltage Identification (VID ) specification for the Qua d-Core Intel® Xeon®
Processor 5400 Series 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.
VID signals are open drain outputs, which must be pulled up to VTT. Please refer to
Table 2-16 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 ma y 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 5400 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. If the processor
socket is empty (VID[6:1] = 111111), or the voltage regulation circuit cannot supply
the voltage that is requested, th e 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], VID7 and VID0 are not used on the
Quad-Core Intel® X eon® Processor 5400 Series; VID7 is always hard wired low at the
voltage regulator.

Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series Electrical Specifications
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series provides the ability to operate
while transitioning to an adjacent VID and its associated processor core voltage (VCC).
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 man y 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 and Table 2-2.
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 and Table 2-14. 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.

Notes:
1. When the “111111” VID pattern is observed, the voltage regulator output should be disabled.
2. Shading denotes the expected VID range of the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series.
3. The VID range includes VID transitions that may be initiated by thermal events, assertion of the FORCEPR# signal (see
Section 6.2.4), Extended HALT state transitions (see Section 7.2.2), or Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology transitions
(see Section 7.3). The Extended HALT state must be enabled for the processor to remain within its specifications
4. Once the VRM/EVRD is oper ating after power-up , i f either the Ou tput 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.

Note: The LL_ID[1:0] signals are used to select the correct loadline slope for the processor.
Note: The MS_ID[1:0] signals are provided to indicate the Market Segment for the processor and may be
used for future processor compatibility or for keying.
2.6 Reserved, Unused, and Test Signals
All Reserved signals must remain unconnected. Connection of these signals to VCC, VTT,
VSS, or to any other signal (including each other) can result in component malfunction
or incompatibility with future processors. See Chapter 4 for a land listing of the
processor and the location of all Reserved signals.
For reliable operation, always connect unused inputs or bidirectional signals to an
appropriate signal level. Unused active high inputs should be connected through a
resistor to ground (VSS). Unused outputs can be left unconnected; however, this may
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 noted 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 (RTT). For details see Table 2-19.
TAP, CMOS Asynchronous inputs, and CMOS Asynchronous 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.
The TESTHI signals must be tied to the processor VTT using a matched resistor, where a
matched resistor has a resistance value within ± 20% of the impedance of the board
transmission line traces. For example, if the trace impedance is 50Ω, then a value
between 40Ω and 60Ω is required.

resistor must be used for each signal:
TESTHI10 – cannot be grouped with other TESTHI signals
TESTHI11 – cannot be grouped with other TESTHI signals
TESTHI12 - cannot be grouped with other TESTHI signals
2.7 Front Side Bus Signal Groups
The FSB signals have been combined into groups by buffer type. AGTL+ input signals
have differential input buffers, w hich use GTLREF_DA TA and GTLREF_ADD 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+
asynchronous 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#, and so forth) 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#, and so forth) and can become
active at any time during the clock cycle. Table 2-6 identifies which signals are common
clock, source synchronous and asynchronous.

2.8 CMOS 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 Chapter 6 for additional timing requirements for entering and
leaving the low power states.
2.9 Test 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 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.
2.10 Platform Environmental Control Interface (PECI)
DC Specifications
PECI is an Intel proprietary one-wire interface that provides a communication channel
between Intel processors and chipset components to external thermal monitoring
devices. The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series contains Digital Thermal
Sensor (DTS) sprinkled both inside and outside the cores in a die. These sensors are
implemented as analog-to-digital converters calibrated at the factory 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
devices for thermal/fan speed control. More detailed information may be found in the
Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) Specification.
2.10.1 DC Characteristics
The PECI interface operates at a nominal voltage set by VTT. The set of DC electrical
specifications shown in Table 2-10 is used with devices normally operating from a VTT
interface supply. VTT nominal levels will vary between processor families. All PECI
devices will operate at the VTT level determine d by the processor installed in the
system. For specific nominal VTT levels, refer to the appropriate processor EMTS.
25
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series Electrical Specifications
Note:
1. VTT supplies the PECI interface. PECI behavior does not affect VTT min/max specifications.
2. The leakage specification applies to powered devices on the PECI bus.
3. One node is counted for each client and one node fo r the system host. Extended tr ace lengths might appe ar
as additional nodes.
2.10.2 Input Device Hysteresis
The input buffers in both client and host models must use a Schmitt-triggered input
design for improved noise immunity. Use Figure 2-1 as a guide for input buffer design.

2.11 Mixing Processors
Intel supports and validates dual processor configurations only in which both
processors operate with the same FSB frequency, core frequency, power segments, 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.
Note: Processors within a system must operate at the same frequency per bits [12:8] of the
CLOCK_FLEX_MAX MSR; howev er 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 (See Chapter 6).
Not all operating systems can support dual processors with mix e d frequ encies. Mixing
processors of different steppings but the same model (as per CPUID instruction) is
supported. Details regarding the CPUI D instruction are provided in the AP-485 Intel®
Processor Identification and the CPUID Instruction application note.
2.12 Absolute 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 r atings, 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.
27
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series Electrical Specifications
Notes:
1. For functio nal operatio n, all processor ele ctrical, signal quality, mechanical and thermal specifications must
be satisfied.
2. Overshoot and undershoot volta ge guidelines for input, output, and I/O signals are outlined in Chapter 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 v o ltage 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 Processor DC Specifications
The processor DC specifications in this section are defined at the processor die
(pads) unless noted otherwise. See Chapter 4 for the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon®
Processor 5400 Series land listings and Chapter 5 for signal definitions. V oltage and
current specifications are detailed in Table 2-12. For platform planning refer to
Table 2-13 and Table 2-14, which provides VCC static and transient tolerances. This
same information is presented graphically in Figure 2-8 and Figure 2-4.
The FSB clock signal group is detailed in Table 2-20. BSEL[2:0] and VID[6:1] signals
are specified in Table 2-15. The DC specifications for the AGTL+ signals are listed in
Table 2-16. Legacy signals and Test Access Port (TAP) signals follow DC specifications
similar to GTL+. The DC specifications for the PWRGOOD input and TAP signal group
are listed in Table 2-16.
Table 2-12 through Table 2-18 list the DC specifications for the processor and are valid
only while meeting specifications for case temper ature (TCASE as specified in Chapter 6,
“Thermal Specifications”), clock frequency, and input voltages. Care should be taken to
read all notes associated with each parameter.
2.13.1 Flexible Motherboard Guidelines (FMB)
The Flexible Motherboard (FMB) guidelines are estimates of the maximum values the
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 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 Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400
Series.

10. This specification refers to the total reduction of the load line due to VID transitions below the specified
VID.
11. Individual processor VID v alues may be calib rated durin g manufacturing such that two devices at the same
frequency may have different VID settings.
12. This specification applies to the VCCPLL land.
13. Baseboard bandwidth is limited to 20 MHz.
14. ICC_TDC is the sustained (DC equivalent) current that the processor is capable of drawing indefinitely and
should be used for the voltage regulator temperature assessment. The voltage regulator is responsible for
monitoring its temperature and asserting the necessary signal to inform the processor of a thermal
excursion. Please see the applicable design guidelines for further details. The processor is capable of

2.13.3 Die Voltage Validation
Core voltage (VCC) overshoot events at the processor must meet the specifications in
Table 2-18 when measured across the VCC_DI E_SENSE and VSS_DIE_SENSE lands
and across the VCC_DIE_SENSE2 and VSS_DIE_SENSE2 lands. Overshoot events that
are < 10 ns in duration may be ignored. These measurements of processor die level
overshoot should be taken with a 100 MHz bandwidth limited oscilloscope.
2.14 AGTL+ FSB Specifications
R outing 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 2-8 for details on which signals do
not include on-die termination. Please refer to Table 2-19 for RTT values.
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 is the reference
voltage for the FSB 4X data signals, GTLREF_ADD_MID, and GTLREF_ADD_END is the
reference voltage for the FSB 2X address signals and common clock signals. Table 2-19
lists the GTLREF_DATA_MID, GTLREF_DATA_END, GTLREF_ADD_MID, and
GTLREF_ADD_END specifications.

3Mechanical Specifications
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series is packaged in a Flip Chip Land
Grid Array (FC -LGA) package that interfaces to the baseboard via a LGA771 socket. The
package consists of a processor core 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:

Mechanical Specifications
3.2 Processor Component Keepout Zones
The processor may contain components on the substrate that define component
keepout zone requirements. Decoupling capacitors are typically mounted to either the
topside or landside of the package substrate. See Figure 3-4 for keepout zones.
3.3 Package 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 te sting should not exceed these limits. The
processor package substrate should not be used as a mechanical reference or load-
bearing surface for thermal or mechanical solutions.
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 produc t application can have flexibility in specific val ues, but the
ultimate product of mass times acceleration should not exceed this dynamic load.
7. Transient bend is defined as the transient board deflectio n during manufacturing such a s 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 titled Manufacturing
with Intel® components using 771-land LGA package that interfaces with the motherboard via a LGA771
socket.
9. Refer to the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines

3.4 Package Handling Guidelines
Table 3-2 includes a list of guidelines on a package handling in terms of recommended
maximum loading on the processor IHS relative to a fixed substrate. These package
handling loads may be experienced during heatsink removal.
Notes:
1. A shear load is defined as a load applied to the IHS in a direction parallel to the IHS top surface.
2. A tensile load is defined as a pulling load applied to the IHS in a direction normal to the IHS surface.
3. A torque load is defined as a twisting load applied to the IHS in an axis of rotation normal to the IHS top
surface.
4. These guidelines are based on limited test ing for design characterization and incidental applications (one
time only).
5. Handling guidelines are for the pack age only and do not inclu de the limits of the processor socket.

Table 5-1. Signal Definitions (Sheet 1 of 8)
Name Type Description Notes
A[37:3]# I/O A[37:3]# (Address) define a 238-byte physical memory address
space. In sub-phase 1 of the address phase, these signals transmit
the address of a transaction. In sub-phase 2, these signals transmit
transaction type information. These signals must connect the
appropriate pins of all agents on the FSB. A[37:3]# are protected by
parity signals AP[1:0]#. A[37:3]# are source synchronous signals
and are latched into the receiving buffers by ADSTB[1:0]#.
On the active-to-inactive transition of RESET#, the processors
sample a subset of the A[37:3]# lands to determine their power-on
configuration. See Section 7.1.
3
A20M# I If A20M# (Address-20 Mask) is asserted, the processor masks
physical address bit 20 (A20#) before looking up a line in any internal
cache and before driving a read/write transaction on the bus.
Asserting A20M# emulates the 8086 processor's address wrap-
around at the 1 MB boundary. Assertion of A20M# is only supported
in real mode.
A20M# is an asynchronous signal. However, to ensure recognition of
this signal following an I/O write instruction, it must be valid along
with the TRDY# assertion of the corresponding I/O write bus
transaction.
2
ADS# I/O ADS# (Address Strobe) is asserted to indicate the validity of the
transaction address on the A[37:3]# lands. All bus agents observe
the ADS# activation to begin parity checking, protocol checking,
address decode, internal snoop, or deferred reply ID match
operations associated with the new transaction. This signal must be
connected to the appropriate pins on all Quad-Core Intel® Xeon®
Processor 5400 Series FSB agents.
3
ADSTB[1:0]# I/O Address strobes are used to latch A[37:3]# and REQ[4:0]# on their
rising and falling edge. Strobes are associated with signals as shown
below.
3
AP[1:0]# I/O AP[1:0]# (Address Parity) are driven by the request initiator along
with ADS#, A[37:3]#, and the transaction type on the REQ[4:0]#
signals. A correct parity signal is high if an even number of covered
signals are low and low if an odd number of covered signals are low.
This allows parity to be high when all the covered signals a re high.
AP[1:0]# must be connected to the appropriate pins of all Quad -Core
Intel® Xeon® Processo r 5400 Series FSB agents. The fo llowing table
defines the coverage model of these signals.

BCLK[1:0] I The differential bus clock pair BCLK[1:0] (Bus Clock) determines the
FSB frequency. All processor FSB agents must receive these signals
to drive their outputs and latch their inputs.
All external timing parameters are specified with respect to t he rising
edge of BCLK0 crossing VCROSS.
3
BINIT# I/O BINIT# (Bus Initialization) may be observed and driven by all
processor FSB ag ents and if used, must connect the ap pro priate pins
of all such agents. If the BINIT# driver is enabled during power on
configuration, BINIT# is asserted to signal any bus condition that
prevents reliable future operation.
If BINIT# observation is enabled during power-on configuration (see
Section 7.1) and BINIT# is sampled asserted, symmetric agents
reset their bus LOCK# activity and bus request arbitration state
machines. The bus agents do not reset their I/O Queue (IOQ) and
transaction tracking state machines upon observation of BINIT#
assertion. Once the BINIT# assertion has been observed, the bus
agents will re-arbitrate for the FSB and attempt completion of their
bus queue and IOQ entries.
If BINIT# observation is disabled during power-on configuration, a
priority agent may handle an assertion of BINIT# as appropriate to
the error handling architecture of the system.
3
BNR# I/O BNR# (Block Next Request) is used to assert a bus stall by any bus
agent who is unable to accept new bus transactions. During a bus
stall, the current bus owner cannot issue a ny new trans actions.
Since multiple agents might need to request a bus stall at the same
time, BNR# is a wire d- OR signal which must connect the approp riate
pins of all processor FSB agents. In order to avoid wired -OR glitches
associated with simultaneous edge transitions driven by multiple
drivers, BNR# is activated on specific clock edges and sampled on
specific clock edges.

BPM[5:0]# (Breakpoint Monitor) are breakpoint and performance
monitor signals. They are outputs from the processor which indicate
the status of breakpoints and programmable counters used for

appropriate pins of all FSB agents.
BPM4# provides PRDY# (Probe R eady) func tionality for the TAP port.
PRDY# is a processor output used by debug tools to determine
processo r debug readiness.
BPM5# provides PREQ# (Probe Request) functionality for the TAP
port. PREQ# is used by debug tools to reque st debug operation of the
processors.
BPM[5:4]# must be bussed to all bus agents. Please refer to the

appropriate pins of all FSB agents.
BPRI# I BPRI# (Bus Priority Request ) is used to arbitr ate for ownership of the
processor FSB. It must connect the appropriate pins of all processor
FSB agents. Observing BPRI# active (as asserted by the priority
agent) causes all other agents to stop issuing new requests, unless
such requests are part of an ongoing locked operation. The priority
agent keeps BPRI# asserted until all of its requests are completed,
then releases the bus by deasserting BPRI#.
3
BR[1:0]# I/O The BR[1:0]# signals are sampled on the active -to-inactive transitio n
of RESET#. The signal which the agent samples asserted de ter mines
its agent ID. BR0# drives the BREQ0# signal in the system and is
used by the processor to request the bus.
These signals do not have on-die termination and must be
terminated.

Signal Definitions
BSEL[2:0] O The BCLK[1:0] frequency select signals BSEL[2:0] are used to select
the proces sor input clock freque ncy. Table 2-2 defines the possible
combinations of the signals and the frequency associated with each
combination. The required frequency is determined by the
processors, chipset, and clock synthesizer. All FSB agents must
operate at the same frequency. Fo r more information about these
signals, including termination recommendations, refer to the
appropriate platform design guideline.
COMP[3:0] I COMP[3:0] must be terminated to VSS on the baseboard using
precision resist ors. These inputs conf igure the AGTL+ drivers of the
processor. Refer to the appropriate platform design guidelines for
implementation details.
D[63:0]# I/O D[63:0]# (Data) are the data signals. These signals provide a 64-bit
data path between the processor FSB agents, and must connect the
appropriate pins on all such agents. The data driv er asserts DRDY# to
indicate a valid data transfer.
D[63:0]# are quad-pumped signals, and will thus be driven four
times in a common clock period. D[63:0]# are latched off the falling
edge of both DSTBP[3:0]# and DSTBN[3:0]#. Each gr oup of 16 data
signals correspond to a pair of one DSTBP# and one DSTBN#. The
following table shows the grouping of data signals to strobes and
DBI#.
Furthermore, the DBI# signals determine the polarity of the data
signals. Each group of 16 data signals corresponds to one DBI#
signal. When the DBI# signal is activ e, the cor responding data group
is inverted and therefore sampled active high.
3
DBI[3:0]# I/O DBI[3:0]# (Data Bus Inv ersion) are source synchr onous and indicate
the polarity of the D[63:0]# signals. The DBI[3:0]# signals are
activated when the data on th e data bus is inverted. If more than half
the data bits, within, within a 16-bit group, would ha ve been asserted
electronically low, the bus agent may invert the data bus signals for
that particular sub-phase for that 16-bit group.
3
DBR# O DBR# is used only in systems where no debug port connector is
implemented on the system board. DBR# is used by a debug port
interposer so that an in-target probe can drive system reset. If a
debug port connector is implemented in the system, DBR# is a no-
connect on the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series
package. DBR# is not a processor signal.
DBSY# I/O DBSY# (Data Bus Busy) is asserted by the agent responsible for
driving data on the processor FSB to indicate that the data bus is in
use. The data bus is released after DBSY# is deasserted. This signal
must connect the appropriate pins on all processor FSB agents.

DEFER# I DEFER# is asserted by an agent to indicate that a tr ansaction cannot
be guaranteed in-order co mpletion. Assertion of DEFER# is normally
the responsibility of the addressed memory or I/O agent. This signal
must connect the appropriate pins of all processor FSB agents.
3
DP[3:0]# I/O DP[3:0]# (Data Parity) provide parity protection for the D[63:0]#
signals. They are driven by th e agent responsible for driving
D[63:0]#, and must connect the appropriate pins of all processor
FSB agents.
3
DRDY# I/O DRDY# (Data Ready) is asserted by the data driver on each data
transfer, indicating valid data on the data bus. In a multi-common
clock data transfer, DRDY# may be deasserted to insert idle clocks.
This signal must connect the appropriate pins of all processor FSB
agents.

DSTBP[3:0]# I/O Data strobe used to latch in D[63:0]#. 3
FERR#/PBE# O FERR#/PBE# (floating-point error/pending break event) is a
multiplexed signal and its meaning is qualified by STPCLK#. When
STPCLK# is not asserted, FERR#/PBE# indicates a floating-point
error and will be asserted when the processor detects an unmasked
floating-point error. When STPCLK# is not asserted, FERR#/PBE# is
similar to the ERROR# signal on the Intel387 coprocessor, and is
included for compatibility with systems using MS-DOS*-type floating-
point error reporting. When STPCLK# is asserted, an assertion of
FERR#/PBE# indicates that the processor has a pending break event
waiting for service. The assertion of FERR#/PBE# indicates that the
processor should be returned to the Normal state. For additional
information on the pending break event functionality, including the
identification of support of the feature and enable/disable
information, refer to Vol. 3 of the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures
Software Developer’s Manual and the Intel Processor Identification
and the CPUID Instruction application note.

FORCEPR# I The FORCEPR# (force power reduction) input can be used by the
platform to cause the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400
Series to activate the Thermal Control Circuit (TCC ).
GTLREF_ADD_MID
GTLREF_ADD_END I GTLREF_ADD determines the signal reference level for AGTL+
address and common clock input lands. GTLREF_ADD is used by the
AGTL+ receivers to determine if a signal is a logical 0 or a logical 1.
Please refer to Table 2-19 and the appropriate platform design
guidelines for additional details.

determine if a signal is a logical 0 or a logical 1. Please refer to
Table 2-19 and the appropriate platform design guidelines for
additional details.
HIT#
HITM# I/O
I/O HIT# (Snoop Hit) and HITM# (Hit Mo dified) convey tran saction snoop
operation results. Any FSB agent may assert both HIT# and HITM#
together to indicate that it requires a snoop stall, which can be
continued by reasserting HIT # and HITM# toge ther.
3
IERR# O IERR# (Internal Error) is asserted by a processor as the result of an
internal error. Assertion of IERR# is usually accompanied by a
SHUTDOWN transaction on the processor FSB. This transaction may
optionally be converted to an external error signal (e.g., NMI) by
system core logic. The processor will keep IERR# asserted until the
assertion of RESET#.
This signal does not have on-die termination.
2
IGNNE# I IGNNE# (Ignore Numeric Error) is asserted to force the processor to
ignore a numeric error and continue to execute noncontrol floating-
point instructions. If IGNNE# is deasserted, the processor generates
an exception on a noncontrol floating-point instruction if a previous
floating-point instruction c aused an error. IGNNE# has no effect when
the NE bit in control register 0 (CR0) is set.
IGNNE# is an asynchronous sig nal. However, to ensure recognition of
this signal following an I/O write instruction, it must be valid along
with the TRDY# assertion of the corresponding I/O write bus
transaction.
2
INIT# I INIT# (Initialization), when asserted, resets integer registers inside
all processors without affec ting the ir in ter nal cac hes or floatin g-p oint
registers. Each processor then begins execution at the power-on
Reset vector configured during power-on configuration. The processor
continues to handle snoop requests during INIT# assertion. INIT# is
an asynchronous signal and must connect the appropriate pins of all
processor FSB agents.
2
LINT[1:0] I LINT[1:0] (Local APIC Interrupt) must connect the appropriate pins
of all FSB agents. When the APIC functionality is disabled, the
LINT0/INTR signal becomes INTR, a maskable interrupt request
signal, and LINT1/NMI becomes NMI, a nonmaskable interrupt. INTR
and NMI are backward compatib le with the signals o f those names on
the Pentium® processor. Both signals are asynchronous.
These signals must be software configured via BIOS programming of
the APIC register space to be used either as NMI/INTR or LINT[1:0].
Because the APIC is enabled by default after Reset, operation of
these pins as LINT[1:0] is the default configuration.
2
LL_ID[1:0] O The LL_ID[1:0] sig nals ar e used to select the correct loadline slope
for the processor. These signals are not connected to the processor
die.
LOCK# I/O LOCK# indicates to the system that a transaction must occur
atomically. This signal must connect the appropriate pins of all
processor FSB agents . For a lock ed seq ue nce of transactions, LO CK #
is asserted from the beginning of the first transaction to the end of
the last transaction.
When the priority agent asserts BPRI# to arbitrate for ownership of
the processor FSB, it will wait until it observes LOCK# deasserted.
This enables symmetric agents to retain ownership of the processor
FSB throughout the bus locked operation and ensure the atomicity of
lock.

76
MCERR# I/O MCERR# (Machine Check Error) is asserted to indicate an
unrecover able error without a bus protocol violation. It may b e driven
by all processor FSB agents.
MCERR# assertion conditions are configurable at a system level.
Assertion options are defined by the following options:
Enabled or disabled.
Asserted, if configured, for internal errors along with IERR#.
Asserted, if configured, by the request initiator of a bus
transaction after it observes an error.
Asserted by any bus agent when it observes an error in a bus
transaction.
For more details regarding machine check architecture, refer to the
Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual,
Volume 3.
MS_ID[ 1:0] O These signals are provi ded to indicate the Market Segment for the
processor and may be used for future processor compatibility or for
keying. These signals are not connected to the processor die. Both
the bits 0 and 1 are logic 1 and are no connects on the package.
PROCHOT# O PROCHOT# (Processor Hot) will go active when the processor’s
temperature monitoring sensor detects that the processor has
reached its maximum safe operatin g temper ature. This indicates that
the Thermal Cont rol Circuit (T CC ) has been activ ate d, if enabled. The
TCC will remain active until shortly after the processor deasserts
PROCHOT#. See Section 6.2.3 for more details.
PWRGOOD I PWRGOOD (Power Good) is an input. The processor requires this
signal to be a clean indication that all processor clocks and power
supplies are stable and within their specifications. “Clean” implies
that the signal will remain low (capable of sinking leakage current),
without glitches, from the time that the power supplies are turned on
until they come within specification. The signal must then transition
monotonically to a high state. PWRGOOD can be driven inactive at
any time, but clocks and power must again be stable before a
subsequent rising edge of PWRGOOD. It must also meet the
minimum pulse width specification in Table 2-18, and be followed by
a 1-10 ms RESET# pulse.
The PWRGOOD signal must be supplied to the processor; it is used to
protect internal circuits against voltage sequencing issues. It should
be driven high throughout boundary scan operation.
2
REQ[4:0]# I/O REQ[4:0]# (Req uest Command) must connect the appropriate pins of
all processor FSB agents. They are asserted by the current bus owner
to define the currently active transaction type. These signals are
source synchronous to ADSTB[1:0]#. Refer to the AP[1:0]# signal
description for details on parity checking of these signals.

RESET# I Asserting the RESET# signal resets all processors to known states
and inv ali dates their in ternal caches withou t writing back an y o f their
contents. For a power -on Reset, RE SET# must stay activ e for at least
1 ms after VCC and BCLK have reached their proper specifications. On
observing active RESET#, all FSB agents will deassert their outputs
within two clocks. RESET# must not be kept asserted for more than
10 ms while PWRGOOD is asserted.
A number of bus signals are sampled at the active-to-inactive
transition of RESET# for power-on configuration. These configuration
options are described in the Section 7.1.
This signal does not ha ve on-d ie termination and must b e terminated
on the system board.

RS[2:0]# I RS[2:0]# (Response Status) are driven by the response agent (the
agent responsible for completion of the current transaction), and
must connect the appropriate pins of all processor FSB agents.

RSP# I RSP# (Response Parity) is driven by the response agent (the agent
responsible for completion of the current transaction) during
assertion of RS[2:0]#, the signals for which RSP# provides parity
protection. It must connect to the appropriate pins of all processor
FSB agents.
A correct parity signal is high if an even number of covered signals
are low and low if an odd number of covered signals are low. While
RS[2:0]# = 000, RSP# is also high, since this indicates i t is not being
driven by any agent guaranteeing correct parity.
3
SKTOCC# O SKT OCC# (Socket occupied) will be pulled to ground by the processor
to indicate that the processor is present. There is no connection to
the processor silicon for this signal.
SMI# I SMI# (System Management Interru pt) is asserted asynchronously b y
system logic. On accepting a System Management Interrupt,
processors save the current state and enter System Management
Mode (SMM). An SMI Acknowledge transaction is issued, and the
processor begins program execution from the SMM handler.
If SMI# is asserted during the deassertion of RESET# the processor
will tri-state its outputs. See Section 7.1.
2
STPCLK# I STPCLK# (Stop Clock), when asserted, causes processors to enter a
low power Stop-Grant state. The processor issues a Stop-Grant
Acknowledge transaction, and stops providing internal clock signals
to all processor core units except the FSB and APIC units. The
processor continues to snoop bus transactions and service interrupts
while in Stop-Grant state. When STPCLK# is d easserted, the
processor restarts its internal clock to all units and resumes
execution. The assertion of STPCLK# has no effect on the bus clock;
STPCLK# is an asynchronous input.
2
TCK I TCK (Test Clock) provides the clock in put for the processor Test Bus
(also known as the Test Access Port).
TDI I TDI (Test Data In) transfers serial test data into the processor. TDI
provides the serial input needed for JTAG specification support.
TDO O TDO (Test Data Out) transfers serial test data out of the processor.
TDO provides the serial output needed for JTAG specification support.
TESTHI[12:10] I TESTHI[12:10] must be connected to a VTT power source through a
resistor for proper processor operation. Refer to Section 2.6 for
TESTHI grouping restrictions.
TESTIN1
TESTIN2 I
ITESTIN1 must be connec ted to a VTT p ower source through a resisto r
as well as to the TESTIN2 land of the same socket for proper
processor operation.
TESTIN2 must be connec ted to a VTT p ower source through a resisto r
as well as to the TESTIN1 land of the same socket for proper
processor operation.
THERMTRIP# O Assertion of THERMTRIP# (Thermal Trip) indicates the processor
junction temperature has reached a temperature beyond which
permanent silicon damag e may occur. Measur ement of the
temperature is accomplished through an internal thermal sensor.
Upon assertion of THERMTRIP#, the processor will shut off its internal
clocks (thus halting program execution) in an attempt to reduce the
processor junction temperature. To protect the processor its core
voltage (VCC) must be removed following the assertion of
THERMTRIP#. Intel also recommends the removal of VTT when
THERMTRIP# is asserted.
Driving of the THERMTRIP# signals is enabled within 10 μs of the
assertion of PWRGOOD and is disabled on de-assertion of PWRGOOD .
Once activated, THERMTRIP# remains latched until PWRGOOD is de-
asserted. While the de-assertion of the PWRGOOD signal will de-
assert THERMTRIP#, if the pro ce sso r’s junction temperature remains
at or above the trip level, THERMTRIP# will again be asserted within
10 μs of the assertion of PWRGOOD.

6.1 Package Thermal Specifications
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series requires a thermal solution to
maintain temperatures within its operating limits. Any attempt to oper ate 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 integr ated 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 5400 Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines
(TMDG).
Note: The boxed processor will ship with a component thermal solution. Refer to Chapter 8
for details on the boxed processor.
6.1.1 Thermal Specifications
To allow the optimal operation and long-term reliability of Intel processor-based
systems, the processor must remain within the minimum and maximum case
temperature (TCASE) specifications as defined by the applicable thermal profile (see
Table 6-1 and Figure 6-1 for the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5482, Table 6-3
and Figure 6-2 for the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5400 Series, Table 6-6 and
Figure 6-3 for the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor E5400 Se ries, Table 6-8 and
Figure 6-4 for the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor L5400 Series and Table 6-11
and Figure 6-5 for the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor L5408. Thermal solutions
not designed to provide this level of thermal capability may affect the long-term
reliability of the processor and system. For more details on thermal solution design,
please refer to the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series
Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines (TMDG) or Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor
L5408 Series in Embedded Applications Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines (TMDG).
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series implements 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 6.3. If the value reported via PECI is less than TCONTROL, then the case
temperature is permitted to exceed the Thermal Profile. If the value reported via PECI
is greater than or equal to TCONTROL, then the processor case temperature must remain
at or below the temperature as specified by the thermal profile. The temperature
reported over PECI is alw ays a negative value and represents a delta below the onset of
thermal control circuit (TCC) activation, as indicated by PROCHOT# (see Section 6.2,
Thermal Specifications
80
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 X5482, and Quad-Core Intel® Xeon®
Processor E5400 Series, and Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor L5400 Series support
a single Thermal Profile (see Figure 6-1, an d Figure 6-3 and Figure 6-4; Table 6-1, and
Table 6-6, and Table 6-8). With this Thermal Profile, 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. Refer to the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon®
Processor 5400 Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines (TMDG) for details on
system thermal solution design, thermal profiles and environmental considerations.
The Quad-Core Intel ® Xeon® Process or L5408 supports a Thermal Profile with nominal
and short-term conditions designed to meet NEBS level 3 compliance (see Figure 6-5).
Operation at either thermal profile should result in virtually no TCC activation. Refer to
the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor L5408 Series in Embedded Applications
Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines (TMDG).
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5400 Series supports a dual Thermal Profile,
either of which can be implemented. Both ensure adherence to the Intel reliability
requirements. Thermal Profile A (see Figure 6-2; Table 6-3) 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. Intel has developed these thermal profiles to
allow customers to choose the thermal solution and environmental parameters that
best suit their platform implementation. Refer to the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon®
Processor 5400 Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines (TMDG) 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)
defined in Table 6-1 for the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5482, Table 6-3 for
the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5400 Series, Table 6-6 for the Quad-Core
Intel® X eon® Processor E5400 Series, and Table 6-8 for the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon®
Processor L5400 Series and the associated TCASE v alues. The lower point of the thermal
profile is the TCASE_MAX at 0 W power (or no power draw)
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 P ower (TDP) indicated in
Table 6-2 for the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5482 (C-step) and Quad-Core
Intel® Xeon® Processor X5492, Table 6-4 and Table 6-5 for the Quad-Core Intel®
Xeon® Processor X5400 Series , Table 6-7 for the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor
E5400 Series and Table 6-9Quad-Core Intel® X eon® Processor L5400 Series 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 6.2. To ensure maximum flexibility for f uture requirements, systems should be
designed to the Flexible Motherboard (FMB) guidelines, even if a process or with lower

geometric top center of the processor integrated heat spreader (IHS). Figure 6-6
illustrates the location where TCASE temperature measurements should be made. For
detailed guidelines on temperature measurement methodology, refer to the Quad-Core
Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines (TMDG).

6.2 Processor Thermal Features
6.2.1 Intel® Thermal Monitor Features
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series provides two thermal monitor
features, Intel® Thermal Monitor 1 and Intel® Thermal Monitor 2. The Intel® Thermal
Monitor 1 and Intel® Thermal Monitor 2 must both be enabled in BIOS for the
processor to be operating within specifications. When both are enabled, Intel® Thermal
Monitor 2 will be activated first and Intel® Thermal Monitor 1 will be added if Intel®
Thermal Monitor 2 is not effective.
6.2.1.1 Intel® Thermal Monitor 1
The Intel® Thermal Monitor 1 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
Figure 6-6. Case Temperature (TCASE) Measurement Location
91
Thermal Specifications
needed by modulating (starting and stopping) the internal processor core clocks. The
temperature at which the Intel® Thermal Monitor 1 activ ates the thermal control circuit
is not user configurable and is not software visible. Bus tr affic 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 Intel® Thermal Monitor 1 is enabled, and a high temper ature situation exists
(that is, TCC is active), the clocks will be modulated by alternately turning the clocks
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 X5482,
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5400 Series, and Quad-Core Intel® Xeon®
Processor E5400 Series, and Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor L5400 Series Thermal
Profile, it is anticipated that the TCC would only be activated for very short periods of
time when running the most power intensive applications. The pr ocessor performance
impact due to these brief periods of TCC activation is expected to be so minor that it
would be immeasurable. Refer to the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series
Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines (TMDG) for information on designing a thermal
solution.
The duty cycle for the TCC, when activated by the Intel® Thermal Mon itor 1, is factory
configured and cannot be modified. The Intel® Thermal Monitor 1 does not require any
additional hardware, software drivers, or interrupt handling routines.
6.2.1.2 Intel® Thermal Monitor 2
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series adds supports for an Enhanced
Thermal Monitor capability known as Intel® Thermal Monitor 2). This mechanism
provides an efficient means for limiting the processor temperature by reducing the
power consumption within the processor. Intel® Thermal Monitor 2 requires support for
dynamic VID transitions in the platform.
Note: Not all Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series are capable of supporting
Intel® Thermal Monitor 2. More detail on which processor frequencies will support
Intel® Thermal Monitor 2 will be provided in future releases of the Quad-Core Intel®
Xeon® Processor 5400 Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines (TMDG) when
av ailable. For more details also refer to the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software
Developer’s Manual.
When Intel® Thermal Monitor 2 is enabled, and a high temperature situation is
detected, the Thermal Control Circuit (TCC) will be activated for both processor cores.
The TCC causes the processor to adjust its oper ating 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 Intel® Thermal Monitor 2 includes two operating points, each
consisting of a specific operating frequency and voltage, which is identical for both
processor cores. The first operating point represents the normal oper ating 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.
Thermal Specifications
92
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 5400 Series). When the TCC is activated,
the processor automatically transitions to the new frequency. This transition occurs
rapidly, on the order of 5 µs. During the frequency transition, 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 Intel® 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.
The PROCHOT# signal is asserted when a high temperature situation is detected,
regardless of whether Intel® Thermal Monitor 1 or Intel® Thermal Monitor 2 is
enabled.
6.2.2 On-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 “On-
Demand” mode and is distinct from the Intel® Thermal Monitor 1 and Intel® 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 5400

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 On-Demand mode, the duty cycle of the clock modulation is programmable via
bits 3:1 of the same IA32_CLOCK_MODULATION MSR. In On-Demand mode, the duty
cycle can 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 TC C is
engaged, the factory configured duty cycle of the TCC will override the duty cycle
selected by the On-Demand mode.
6.2.3 PROCHOT# Signal
An external signal, PROCHOT# (processor hot) is asserted when the processor die
temperature of any processor cores reaches its factory configured trip point. If Thermal
Monitor is enabled (note that Thermal Monitor m ust be enabled for the processor to be
operating within specification), the T CC will be active when PROCHO T# is asserted. The
processor can be configured to generate an interrupt upon the assertion or de-
assertion of PROCHOT#. Refer to the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software
Developer’s Manual for specific register and programming details.
PROCHOT# is designed to assert at or a few degrees higher than maximum T CASE 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 TCASE when dissipating TDP 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 TCASE, or PROCHOT#.
6.2.4 FORCEPR# Signal
The FORCEPR# (force power reduction) input can be used by the platform to cause the
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series to activate the TCC. If the Thermal
Monitor is enabled, the TCC will be activated upon the assertion of the FORCEPR#
signal. 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. FORCEPR# can be used to thermally protect other system
components. To use the VR as an example, when FORCEPR# is asserted, the TCC
circuit in the processor will activate, reducing 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 µs is recommended
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.
Thermal Specifications
94
6.2.5 THERMTRIP# Signal
Regardless of wh ether or not Intel® Therm al Monitor 1 or Intel® Thermal Monitor 2 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 VTT.
6.3 Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI)
6.3.1 Introduction
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 5400 Series. PECI uses CRC checking on the host side to ensure
reliable transfers between the host and client devices. Also, data tr ansfer speeds across
the PECI interface are negotiable within a wide range (2Kbps to 2Mbps). The PECI
interface on the Quad-Core Intel® X eon® Processor 5400 Series is disabled by default
and must be enabled through BIOS.
6.3.1.1 TCONTROL and TCC Activation on PECI-based Systems
Fan speed control solutions based on PECI utilize a TCONTROL value stored in the
processor IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET MSR. The TCONTROL MSR uses the same offset
temperature format as PECI though it contains no sign bit. Thermal management
devices should infer the TCONTROL value as negative. Thermal management algorithms

should utilize the relative temperature v alue delivered over PECI in conjunction with the
TCONTROL MSR value to control or optimize fan speeds. Figure 6-9 shows a conceptual
fan control diagram using PECI temperatures.
The relative temperature v alue reported over PECI represents the data below the onset
of thermal control circuit (TCC) activation as needed by PROCHOT# assertions. As the
temperature approaches T CC activ ation, the PECI v alue approaches zero. TCC activ ates
at a PECI count of zero.
6.3.1.2 Processor Thermal Data Sample Rate and Filtering
The Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) provides an improved capability to monitor device
hot spots, which inherently leads to more varying temper ature readings over short time
intervals. The D TS sample interval r ange can be modified, and a data filtering algorithm
can be activ ated to help moderate this. The D TS sample interval r ange is 82us (default)
to 20 ms (max). This value can be set in BIOS.
To reduce the sample rate requirements on PECI and improve thermal data stability vs.
time the processor DTS also implements an averaging algorithm that filters the
incoming data. This is an alpha-beta filter with coefficients of 0.5, and is expressed
mathematically as: Current_filtered_temp = (Previous_filtered_temp / 2) +
(new_sensor_temp / 2). This filtering algorithm is fixed and cannot be changed. It is on
by default and can be turned off in BIOS.
Host controllers should utilize the min/max sample times to determine the appropriate
sample rate based on the controller's fan control algorithm and targeted response rate.
The key items to take into account when settling o n a fan control algorithm are the D TS
sample rate, whether the temperature filter is enabled, how often the PECI host will
poll the processor for temperature data, and the rate at which fan speed is changed.
Depending on the designer’s specific requirements the DT S sample rate and alpha-beta
filter may have no effect on the fan control algorithm.

6.3.2 PECI Specifications
6.3.2.1 PECI Device Address
The PECI device addre ss for soc ket 0 is 0x30 and socket 1 is 0x31. Please note that
each address also supports two domains (Domain0 and Domain1). For more
information on PECI domains, please refer to the Platform Environment Control
Interface (PECI) Specification.
6.3.2.2 PECI Command Support
PECI command support is covered in detail in Platform Environment Control Interface
Specification. Please refer to this document for details on supported PECI command
function and codes.
6.3.2.3 PECI Fault Handling Requirements
PECI is largely a fault tolerant interface, including noise immunity and error checking
improvements over other comparable industry standard interfaces. The PECI client is
as reliable as the device that it is embedded in, and thus given operating conditions
that fall under the specification, the PECI will always respond to requests and the
protocol itself can be relied upon to detect any transmission failures. There are,
however, certain scenarios where PECI is known to be unresponsive.
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 damage. It is recommended that the PECI host controller take appropriate
action to protect the client processor device if valid temperature readings have not
been obtained in response to three consecutive gettemp()s or for a one second time
interval. The host controller may also implement an alert to software in the event of a
critical or continuous fault condition.
6.3.2.4 PECI GetTemp0 () and GetTemp1() Error Code Support
The error codes supported for the processor GetTemp0() and GetTemp1() commands
are listed in Table 6-12 below:

7.1 Power-On Configuration Options
Several configuration options can be configured by hardware. The Quad-Core Intel®
Xeon® Processor 5400 Series samples its hardware configuration at reset, on the
active-to-inactive transition of RESET#. For specifics on these options, please refer to
Table 7-1.
The sampled information configures the processor for subsequent operation. These
configuration options cannot be changed except by another reset. All external resets
reconfigure the processor, for configuration purposes, the processor does not
distinguish between a “warm” reset (PWRGOOD signal remains asserted) and a
“power-on” reset.
Notes:
1. Asserting this signal during RESET# will select the corresponding option.
2. Address lands not identified in this table as configuration options should not be asserted during RESET#.
Disabling of any of the cores within the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400
Series must be handled by configuring the EXT_CONFIG Model Specific Register (MSR).
This MSR will allow for the disabling of a single core per die within the package.
7.2 Clock Control and Low Power States
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series supports the Extended HALT state
(also referred to as C1E) in addition to the HALT state and Stop-Grant state to reduce
power consumption by stopping the clock to internal sections of the processor,
depending on each particular state. See Figure 7-1 for a visual representation of the
processor low power states. The Extended HALT state is a lower power state than the
HALT state or Stop Grant state.
The Extended HALT state must be enabled via the BIOS for the processor to
remain within its specifications. For processors that are already running at the
lowest bus to core frequency ratio for its nominal operating point, the processor will
transition to the HALT state instead of the Extended HALT state.
The Stop Grant state requires chipset and BIOS support on multiprocessor systems. In
a multiprocessor system, all the STPCLK# signals are bussed together, thus all
processors are affected in unison. When the STPCLK# signal is asserted, the processor
enters the Stop Grant state, issuing a Stop Grant Special Bus Cycle (SBC) for each
processor die. The chipset needs to account for a variable number of processors
asserting the Stop Grant SBC on the bus before allowing the processor to be
transitioned into one of the lower processor power states.

7.2.1 Normal State
This is the normal operating state for the processor.
7.2.2 HALT or Extended HALT State
The Extended HALT state (C1E) is enabled via the BIOS. The Extended HALT s tate
must be enabled for the processor to remain within its specifications. The
Extended HALT state requires support for dynamic VID transitions in the platform.
7.2.2.1 HALT State
HALT is a low power state entered when the processor have executed the HALT or
MWAIT instruction. When one of the processor cores execute the HALT or MWAIT
instruction, that processor core is halted; however, the other processor continues
normal operation. The processor will tr ansition to the Normal state upon the occurrence
of SMI#, BINIT#, INIT#, LINT[1:0] (NMI, INTR), or an interrupt delivered over the
front side bus. RESET# will cause the processor to immediately initialize itself.
The return from a System Management Interrupt (SMI) handler can be to either
Normal Mode or the HALT state. See the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architecture Software
Developer's Manual.
The system can generate a STPCLK# while the processor is in the HAL T state. When the
system deasserts STPCLK#, the processor will return execution to the HALT state.
While in HALT state, the processor will process front side bus snoops and interrupts.
7.2.2.2 Extended HALT State
Extended HALT state is a low power state entered when all processor cores have
executed the HALT or MWAIT instructions and Extended HALT state has been enabled
via the BIOS. When one of the processor cores executes the HALT instruction, that
processor core is halted; however, the other processor core continues normal
operation. The Extended HALT state is a lower power state than the HALT state or Stop
Grant state. The Extended HALT state must be enabled for the processor to remain
within its specifications.
The processor will automatically transition to a lower core frequency and voltage
operating point before entering the Extended HALT state. Note that the processor FSB
frequency is not altered; only the internal core frequency is changed. When entering
the low power state, the processor will first switch to the lower bus to core frequency
ratio and then transition to the lower voltage (VID).
While in the Extended HALT state, the processor will process bus snoops.
99
Features
Notes:
1. Processors runn ing in the l owest bus rat io supporte d as shown in Table 2-1, will enter the HALT State when
the processor has executed the HALT or MWAIT instruction since the processor is already operating in the
lowest core frequency and voltage operating point.
2. The specification is at Tcase = 40oC and nominal Vcc. Th e VID setting represen ts the maximum expected
VID when running in HALT state.
3. SKUs with Extended HALT state (16W) and without Extended HALT state (20W).
4. The specification is at Tcase = 46oC and nominal Vcc. Th e VID setting represen ts the maximum expected
VID when running in HALT state.
The processor exits the Extended HALT state when a break event occurs. When the
processor exits the Extended HALT state, it will first transition the VID to the original
value and then change the bus to core frequency ratio back to the original value.

7.2.3 Stop-Grant State
When the STPCLK# pin is asserted, the Stop-Grant state of the processor is entered no
later than 20 bus clocks after the response phase of the processor issued Stop Grant
Acknowledge special bus cycle. By default, the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor
5400 Series will issue two Stop Grant Acknowledge special bus cycles, one for each die.
Once the STPCLK# pin has been asserted, it may only be deasserted once the
processor is in the Stop Grant state. All processor cores will enter the Stop-Grant state
once the STPCLK# pin is asserted. Additionally, all processor cores must be in the Stop
Grant state before the deassertion of STPCLK#.
Since the AGTL+ signal pins receive power from the front side bus, these pins should
not be driven (allowing the level to return to VTT) for minimum power drawn by the
termination resistors in this state. In addition, all other input pins on the front side bus
should be driven to the inactive state.
BINIT# will not be serviced while the processor is in Stop-Grant state. The ev ent will be
latched and can be serviced by software upon exit from the Stop Grant state.
RESET# will cause the processor to immediately initialize itself, but the processor will
stay in Stop-Grant state. A transition back to the Normal state will occur with the de-
assertion of the STPCLK# signal.
A transition to the Gr ant Snoop state will o ccur when the processor detects a snoop on
the front side bus (see Section 7.2.4.1).

Features
While in the Stop-Grant state, SMI#, INIT#, BINIT# and LINT[1:0] will be latched by
the processor, and only serviced when the processor returns to the Normal state. Only
one occurrence of each event will be recognized upon return to the Normal state.
While in Stop-Grant state, the processor will process snoops on the front side bus and it
will latch interrupts delivered on the front side bus.
The PBE# signal can be driven when the processor is in Stop-Gr ant state. PBE# will be
asserted if there is any pending interrupt latched within the processor. Pending
interrupts that are blocked by the EFLAGS.IF bit being clear will still cause assertion of
PBE#. Assertion of PBE# indicates to system logic that it should return the processor to
the Normal state.
7.2.4 Extended HALT Snoop or HALT Snoop State,
Stop Grant Snoop State
The Extended HALT Snoop state is used in conjunction with the Extended HALT state. If
the Extended HALT state is not enabled in the BIOS, the default Snoop state entered
will be the HALT Snoop state. Refer to the sections below for details on HALT Snoop
state, Stop Grant Snoop state and Extended HALT Snoop state.
7.2.4.1 HALT Snoop State, St op Grant Snoop State
The processor will respond to snoop or interrupt transactions on the front side bus
while in Stop-Grant state or in HALT state. During a snoop or interrupt transaction, the
processor enters the HALT/Gr ant Snoop state. The processor will sta y in this state until
the snoop on the front side bus has been serviced (whether by the processor or another
agent on the front side bus) or the interrupt has been latched. After the snoop is
serviced or the interrupt is latched, the processor will return to the Stop-Grant state or
HALT state, as appropriate.
7.2.4.2 Extended HALT Snoo p State
The Extended HALT Snoop state is the default Snoop state when the Extended HALT
state is enabled via the BIOS. The processor will remain in the lower bus to core
frequency ratio and VID operating point of the Extended HALT state.
While in the Extended HAL T Snoop state, snoops and interrupt transactions are handled
the same way as in the HALT Snoop state. After the snoop is serviced or the interrupt is
latched, the processor will return to the Extended HALT state.
7.3 Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series supports Enhanced Intel SpeedStep®
Technology. This technology enables the processor to switch between multiple
frequency and voltage points, which results in platform power savings. Enhanced Intel
SpeedStep Technology requires support for dynamic VID transitions in the platform.
Switching between voltage/frequency states is software controlled. For more
configuration details also refer to the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software
Developer’s Manual.
Note: Not all Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series are capable of supporting
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology. More details on which processor frequencies will
support this feature will be provided in the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400
Series Specification Update.
Features
102
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology creates processor performance states (P-states)
or voltage/frequency operating points which are lower power capability states within
the Normal state (see Figure 7-1 for the Stop Clock State Machine for supported P-
states). Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology enables real-time dynamic switching
between frequency and voltage points. It alters the performance of the processor by
changing the bus to core frequency ratio and voltage. This allows the processor to run
at different core frequencies and voltages to best serve the performance and power
requirements of the processor and system. The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor
5400 Series has hardware logic that coordinates the requested voltage (VID) between
the processor cores. The highest voltage that is requested for either of the processor
cores is selected for that processor package. Note that the front side bus is not altered;
only the internal core frequency is changed. In order to run at reduced power
consumption, the voltage is altered in step with the bus ratio.
The following are key features of Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology:
Multiple voltage/frequency operating points provide optimal performance at
reduced power consumption.
Voltage/frequency selection is software controlled by writing to processor MSR’s
(Model Specific Registers), thus eliminating chipset dependency.
If the target frequency is higher than the current frequency, VCC is incremented
in steps (+12.5 mV) by placing a new value on the VID signals and the
processor shifts to the new frequency. Note that the top frequency for the
processor can not be exceeded.
If the target frequency is lower than the current frequency, the processor shifts
to the new frequency and VCC is then decremented in steps (-12.5 mV) by
changing the target VID through the VID signals.

Boxed Processor Specifications
8Boxed Processor Specifications
8.1 Introduction
Intel boxed processors are intended for system integrators who build systems from
components available through distribution channels. The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon®
Processor 5400 Series will be offered as an Intel boxed processor.
Intel will offer the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series with two heat sink
configurations available for each processor frequency: 1U passive/3U+ active
combination solution and a 2U passive only solution. The 1U passive/3U+ active
combination solution is based on a 1U passive heat sink with a removable fan that will
be pre-attached at shipping. This heat sink solution is intended to be used as either a
1U passive heat sink, or a 3U+ active heat sink. Although the active combination
solution with removable fan mechanically fits into a 2U keepout, its use is not
recommended in that configuration.
Quad-Core Intel® X eon® Processor X5400 Series will include a copper 1U passive/3U+
active combination solution or a copper 2U passive heatsin k. Quad-Core Intel® Xe on®
Processor E5400 Series and Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor L5400 Series with
80W and lower TDPs will include an aluminum extruded 1U passive/3U+ active
combination solution or an aluminum extruded 2U passive heatsink.
The 1U passive/3U+ active combination solution in the active fan configuration is
primarily designed to be used in a pedestal chassis where sufficient air inlet space is
present and strong side directional airflow is not an issue. The 1U passive/3U+ active
combination solution with the fan removed an d the 2U passive thermal solution require
the use of chassis ducting and are targeted for use in rack mount or pedestal servers.
The retention solution used for these products is called the Common Enabling Kit, or
CEK. The CEK base is compatible with both thermal solutions and uses the same hole
locations as the Intel® Xeon® processor with 800 MHz system bus.
The 1U passive/3U+ active combination solution will utilize a removable fan capable of
4-pin pulse width modulated (PWM) control. Use of a 4-pin PWM controlled active
thermal solution helps customers meet acoustic targets in pedestal platforms through
the motherboards’s ability to directly control the RPM of the processor heat sink fan.
See Section 8.3 for more details on fan speed control, and see Section 6.3 for more on
the PWM and PECI interface along with Digital Thermal Sensors (DTS). Figure 8-1
through Figure 8-3 are representations of the two heat sink solutions.

8.2 Mechanical Specifications
This section documents the mechanical specifications of the boxed processor.
8.2.1 Boxed Processor Heat Sink Dimensions (CEK)
The boxed processor will be shipped with an unattached thermal solution. Clearance is
required around the thermal solution to ensure unimpeded airflow for proper cooling.
The physical space requirements and dimensions for the boxed processor and
assembled heat sink are shown in Figure 8-4 through Figure 8-8. Figure 8-9 through
Figure 8-10 are the mechanical drawings for the 4-pin board fan header and 4-pin
connector used for the active CEK fan heat sink solution.

Boxed Processor Specifications
8.2.2 Boxed Processor Heat Sink Weight
8.2.2.1 Thermal Solution Weight
The 1U passive/3U+ active combination heat sink solution and the 2U passive heat sink
solution will not exceed a mass of 1050 grams. Note that this is per processor, a dual
processor system will have up to 2010 grams total mass in the heat sinks. This large
mass will require a minimum chassis stiffness to be met in order to withstand force
during shock and vibration.
See Chapter 3 for details on the processor weight.
8.2.3 Boxed Processor Retention Mechanism and Heat Sink
Support (CEK)
Baseboards and chassis designed for use by a system integrator should include holes
that are in proper alignment with each other to support the boxed processor. Refer to
the Server System Infrastructure Specification (SSI-EEB 3.6, TEB 2.1 or CEB 1.1).
These specification can be found at: http://www.ssiforum.org.
Figure 8-3 illustrates the Common Enabling Kit (CEK) retention solution. The CEK is
designed to extend air-cooling capability through the use of larger heat sinks with
minimal airflow blockage and bypass. CEK retention mechanisms can allow the use of
much heavier heat sink masses compared to legacy limits by using a load path directly
attached to the chassis pan. The CEK spring on the secondary side of the baseboard
provides the necessary compressive load for the thermal interface material. The
baseboard is intended to be isolated such that the dynamic loads from the heat sink are
transferred to the chassis pan via the stiff screws and standoffs. The retention scheme
reduces the risk of package pullout and solder joint failures.
All components of the CEK heat sink solution will be captive to the heat sink and will
only require a Phillips screwdriver to attach to the chassis pan. When installing the
CEK, the CEK screws should be tightened until they will no longer turn easily. This
should represent approximately 6-8 inch-pounds of torque. More than that may
damage the retention mechanism components.
8.3 Electrical Requirements
8.3.1 Fan Power Supply (Active CEK)
The 4-pin PWM controlled thermal solution is being offered to help provide better
control over pedestal chassis acoustics. This is achieved though more accurate
measurement of processor die temperature through the processor’s Digital Thermal
Sensors. Fan RPM is modulated through the use of an ASIC located on the baseboard,
that sends out a PWM control signal to the 4th pin of the connector labeled as Control.
This thermal solution requires a constant +12 V supplied to pin 2 of the active th ermal
solution and does not support variable voltage control or 3-pin PWM control. See
Table 8-2 for details on the 4-pin active heat sink solution connectors.
If the 4-pin active fan heat sink solution is connected to an older 3-pin baseboard CPU
fan header it will default back to a thermistor controlled mode, allowing compatibility
with legacy 3-wire designs. When operating in thermistor controlled mode, fan RPM is
automatically varied based on the TINLET temperature measured by a thermistor
located at the fan inlet of the heat sink solution.
Boxed Processor Specifications
114
The fan power header on the baseboard must be positioned to allow the fan heat sink
power cable to reach it. The fan power header identification and location must be
documented in the suppliers platform documentation, or on the baseboard itself. The
baseboard fan power header should be positioned within 177.8 mm [7 in.] from the
center of the processor socket.
8.3.2 Boxed Processor Cooling Requirements
As previously stated the boxed processor will be available in two product
configurations. Each configuration will require unique design considerations. Meeting
the processor’s temperature specifications is also the function of the thermal design of
the entire system, and ultimately the responsibility of the system integrator. The
processor temperature specifications are found in Chapter 6 of this document.
8.3.2.1 1U Passive/3U+ Active Combination Heat Sink Solution (1U Rack
Passive)
In the 1U configuration it is assumed that a chassis duct will be implemented to provide
a minimum airflow of 15 cfm at 0.38 in. H2O (25.5 m3/hr at 94.6 Pa) of flow
impedance. The duct should be carefully designed to minimize the airflow bypass

Boxed Processor Specifications
around the heatsink. It is assumed that a 40°C TLA is met. This requires a superior
chassis design to limit the TRISE at or below 5°C with an external ambient tem per ature
of 35°C. These specifications apply to both coppe r and aluminum heatsink solutions.
Following these guidelines allows the designer to meet Quad-Core Intel® Xeon®
Processor 5400 Series Thermal Profile and conform to the thermal requirements of the
processor.
8.3.2.2 1U Passive/3U+ Active Combinat ion Heat Sink Solution (Pedestal
Active)
The active configuration of the combination solution is designed to help pedestal
chassis users to meet the thermal processor requirements without the use of chassis
ducting. It may be still be necessary to implement some form of chassis air guide or air
duct to meet the TLA temperature of 40°C depending on the pedestal chassis layout.
Also, while the active thermal solution design will mechanically fit into a 2U v olumetric,
it may not provide adequate airflow. This is due to the requirement of additional space
at the top of the thermal solution to allow sufficient airflow into the heat sink fan. Use
of the active configuration in a 2U rackmount chassis is not recommended.
It is recommended that the ambient air temperature outside of the chassis be kept at
or below 35°C. The air passing directly over the processor thermal solution should not
be preheated by other system components. Meeting the processor’s temperature
specification is the responsibility of the system integrator.
8.3.2.3 2U Passive Heat Sink Solution (2U+ Rack or Pedestal)
In the 2U+ passive configuration, it is assumed that a chassis duct will be implemented
to provide a minimum airflow of 27 cfm at 0.182 in. H2O (45.9 m 3/hr at 45.3 Pa) of
flow impedance. The duct should be carefully designed to minimize the airflow bypass
around the heatsink. These specifications apply to both copper and aluminum heatsink
solutions. The TLA temperature of 40°C should be met. This may require the use of
superior design techniques to keep TRISE at or below 5°C based on an ambient external
temperature of 35°C.
8.4 Boxed Processor Contents
A direct chassis attach method must be used to avoid problems related to shock and
vibration. The board m ust not bend beyond specification in order to a void damage. The
boxed processor contains the components necessary to solve both issues. The boxed
processor will include the following items:
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series

•Intel Inside Logo
Other items listed in Figure 8-3 that are required to complete this solution will be
shipped with either the chassis or boards. They are as follows:

Debug Tools Specifications
9Debug Tools Specifications
Please refer to the appropriate platform design guidelines for information regarding
debug tool specifications. Section 1.3 provides collateral details.
9.1 Debug Port System Requirements
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series debug port is the command and
control interface for the In-Target Probe (ITP) debugger. The ITP enables run-time
control of the processors for system debug. The debug port, which is connected to the
FSB, is a combination of the system, JTAG and execution signals. There are several
mechanical, electrical and functional constraints on the debug port that must be
followed. The mechanical constraint requires the debug port connector to be installed in
the system with adequate physical clearance. Electrical constraints exist due to the
mixed high and low speed signals of the debug port for the processor. While the JTAG
signals operate at a maximum of 75 MHz, the execution signals operate at the common
clock FSB frequency. The functional constr ain t requires the debug port to use the JTAG
system via a handshake and multiplexing scheme.
In general, the information in this chapter may be used as a basis for including all run-
control tools in Quad-Core Intel® X eon® Processor 5400 Series-based system designs
including tools from vendors other than Intel.
Note: The debug port and JTAG signal chain must be designed into the processor board to
utilize the XDP for debug purposes except for interposer solutions.
9.2 Target System Implementation
9.2.1 System Implementation
Specific connectivity and layout guidelines for the Debug Port are provided in the
appropriate platform design guidelines.
9.3 Logic Analyzer Interface (LAI)
Intel is working with two logic analyzer vendors to provide logic analyzer interfaces
(LAIs) for use in debugging Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series systems.
Tektronix and Agilent should be contacted to obtain specific information about their
logic analyzer interfaces. The following information is general in nature. Specific
information must be obtained from the logic analyzer vendor.
Due to the complexity of Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series-based
multiprocessor systems, the LAI is critical in providing the ability to probe and capture
FSB signals. There are two sets of considerations to keep in mind when designing a
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series-based system that can make use of
an LAI: mechanical and electrical.
Debug Tools Specifications
118
9.3.1 Mechanical Considerations
The LAI is installed between the processor socket and the pro cessor. The LAI plugs into
the socket, while the processor plugs into a socket on the LAI. Cabling that is part of
the LAI egresses the system to allow an electrical connection between the processor
and a logic analyzer. The maximum volume occupied by the LAI, known as the keepout
volume, as well as the cable egress restrictions, should be obtained from the logic
analyzer vendor. System designers must make sure that the keepout volume remains
unobstructed inside the system. Note that it is possible that the keepout volume
reserved for the LAI may include differerent requirements from the space normally
occupied by the heatsink. If this is the case, the logic analyzer vendor will provide a
cooling solution as part of the LAI.
9.3.2 Electrical Considerations
The LAI will also affect the electrical performance of the FSB, therefore it is critical to
obtain electrical load models from each of the logic analyzer vendors to be able to run
system level simulations to prove that their tool will work in the system. Contact the
logic analyzer vendor for electrical specifications and load models for the LAI solution
they provide.
