Introduction  
1 Introduction  
The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100 Series, Processor Number 7150, 7140,  
7130, 7120 and 7110 is a dual core product for multi-processor servers. The Dual-Core  
Intel Xeon processor 7100 series is a 64-bit server processor utilizing two physical Intel  
NetBurst® microarchitecture cores in one package. It maintains the tradition of  
compatibility with IA-32 software and includes features found in the Intel® Xeon®  
processor such as Hyper Pipelined Technology, a Rapid Execution Engine, and an  
Execution Trace Cache. Hyper Pipelined Technology includes a multi-stage pipeline,  
allowing the processor to reach much higher core frequencies. The 667 MTS (Mega  
Transfer per Seconds) front side bus is a quad-pumped bus running off a 166 MHz  
system clock making 5.3 GB per second data transfer rates possible. The 800 MTS front  
side bus (FSB) is a quad-pumped bus running off a 200 MHz system clock making  
6.4 GB per second data transfer rates possible. The Execution Trace Cache is a level 1  
(L1) cache that stores decoded micro-operations, which removes the decoder from the  
main execution path, thereby increasing performance. In addition, the Dual-Core Intel  
Xeon processor 7100 series includes the Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology,  
providing additional address capability.  
In addition, enhanced thermal and power management capabilities are implemented,  
including Thermal Monitor, Thermal Monitor 2 (TM2), and Enhanced Intel SpeedStep®  
technology. Thermal Monitor and Thermal Monitor 2 provide efficient and effective  
cooling in high temperature situations. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology allows  
trade-offs to be made between performance and power consumption. This may lower  
average power consumption (in conjunction with OS support).  
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series supports Hyper-Threading Technology.  
This feature allows a single, physical processor to function as two logical processors.  
While some execution resources such as caches, execution units, and buses are shared,  
each logical processor has its own architectural state with its own set of general-  
purpose registers, control registers to provide increased system responsiveness in  
multitasking environments, and headroom for next generation multi-threaded  
applications. More information on Hyper-Threading Technology can be found at  
http://www.intel.com/technology/hyperthread.  
Support for Intel's Execute Disable Bit functionality has been added which can prevent  
certain classes of malicious “buffer overflow” attacks when combined with a supporting  
operating system. Execute Disable Bit allows the processor to classify areas in memory  
by where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm  
attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing  
damage or worm propagation.  
Other features within the Intel NetBurst microarchitecture include Advanced Dynamic  
Execution, Advanced Transfer Cache, enhanced floating point and multi-media unit, and  
Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2). The Advanced Dynamic Execution improves  
speculative execution and branch prediction internal to the processor. The Advanced  
Transfer Cache is a 2 MB total on-die level 2 (L2) cache, organized as 1 MB dedicated  
per core. The floating point and multi-media units include 128-bit wide registers and a  
separate register for data movement. SSE2 instructions provide highly efficient double-  
precision floating point, SIMD integer, and memory management operations. In  
addition, Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3) instructions have been added to further  
extend the capabilities of Intel processor technology. Other processor enhancements  
include core frequency improvements and microarchitectural improvements.

Introduction  
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series processor supports Intel® 64 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 can be found in the 64-bit Extension Technology  
Software Developer’s Guide at http://developer.intel.com/technology/64bitextensions/.  
Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series are intended for high performance multi-  
processor server systems with support for up to two processors on a 667 or 800 MTS  
FSB. Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series will be available with 4 MB, 8 MB or  
16 MB of on-die level 3 (L3) cache. All versions of the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor  
7100 series will include manageability features. Components of the manageability  
features include an OEM EEPROM and Processor Information ROM which are accessed  
through an SMBus interface and contain information relevant to the particular  
processor and system in which it is installed.

Notes:  
1.  
Total accessible size of L2 caches may vary by one cache line pair (128 bytes) per core, depending on  
usage and operating environment.  
2.  
Total accessible size of the L3 cache may vary by up to thirty-two (32) cache lines (64 bytes per line),  
depending on usage and operating environment.  
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series is packaged in a 604-pin Flip-Chip  
Micro Pin Grid Array (FC-mPGA6) package and utilizes a surface-mount Zero Insertion  
Force (ZIF) mPGA604 socket. The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series supports  
40-bit addressing, data bus ECC protection (single-bit error correction with double-bit  
error detection), and the bus protocol addition of the Deferred Phase.  
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series uses a scalable system bus protocol  
referred to as the “front side bus” in this document. The front side bus utilizes a split-  
transaction, deferred reply and Deferred Phase protocol. The front side bus uses  
Source-Synchronous Transfer (SST) of address and data to improve performance. The  
processor transfers data four times per bus clock (4X data transfer rate). 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, double-pumped, or the 2X address bus. In addition,  
the Request Phase completes in one clock cycle. Working together, the 4X data bus and  
2X address bus provide a data bus bandwidth of up to 5.3 GB (667 MTS) or 6.4 GB  
(800 MTS) per second. Finally, the front side bus is also used to deliver interrupts.  
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series supports a threshold-based  
mechanism for enhanced cache error reporting (IA32_MCG_CAP[11] = 1). Intel  
recommends that fault prediction handlers rely on this mechanism to assess processor  
cache health. Please refer to the IA-32 Intel® Architecture Software Developer’s  
Manual, Volume 3A for more detailed information. Please note that the Dual-Core Intel  
Xeon processor 7100 series does not support the newly added overwrite rules.

Introduction  
1.1  
Terminology  
A ‘#’ symbol after a signal name refers to an active low signal, indicating that a signal  
is in the asserted state when driven to a low level. For example, when RESET# is low  
(i.e. when RESET# is asserted), a reset has been requested. Conversely, when NMI is  
high (i.e. when NMI is asserted), a nonmaskable interrupt request 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).  
“Front side bus” refers to the interface between the processor, system core logic (i.e.  
the chipset components), and other bus agents. The front side bus supports  
multiprocessing and cache coherency. For this document, “front side bus” is used as the  
generic term for the “Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series system bus.  
Commonly used terms are explained here for clarification:

2.1  
Front Side Bus and GTLREF  
Most Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100 Series processor front side bus (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, separate VCC and VTT  
supplies are necessary. This configuration allows for improved noise tolerance as  
processor frequency increases. Speed enhancements to data and address busses have  
caused signal integrity considerations and platform design methods to become even  
more critical than with previous processor families. Design guidelines for the processor  
front side bus are detailed in the appropriate platform design guides (refer to  
Section 1.2).  
The AGTL+ inputs require a reference voltage (GTLREF) which is used by the receivers  
to determine if a signal is a logical 0 or a logical 1. GTLREF must be generated on the  
motherboard (see Table 2-23 for GTLREF specifications). Please refer to the appropriate  
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 a selectable feature and can be enabled or disabled via the ODTEN signal.  
For end bus agents, on-die termination resistors are enabled to control reflections on  
the transmission line. For the middle bus agent, on-die termination RTT resistors must  
be disabled. Intel chipsets will also provide on-termination, thus eliminating the need  
to terminate the bus on the motherboard for most AGTL+ signals. Processor wired-OR  
signals may also include additional on-die resistors (RL) to further ensure proper noise  
margin and signal integrity. RL is not configurable and is always enabled for these  
signals. See Table 2-7 for a list of these signals.  
Figure 2-1 illustrates the active on-die termination.

Some AGTL+ signals do not include on-die termination (RTT) and must be terminated  
on the motherboard. See Table 2-7 for details regarding these signals.  
2.1.1  
Front Side Bus Clock and Processor Clocking  
BCLK[1:0] directly controls the front side bus interface speed as well as the core  
frequency of the processor. The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100 Series  
processor core frequency is a multiple of the BCLK[1:0] frequency. The processor bus  
ratio multiplier will be set at its default ratio during manufacturing. The default setting  
generates the maximum speed for the processor. It is possible to override this setting  
using software. Refer to the Cedar Mill Processor Family BIOS Writer’s Guide for details.  
This will permit operation at a speed lower than the processor’s tested frequency.  
The processor core frequency is configured during reset by using values stored  
internally during manufacturing. The stored values set the highest bus fraction at which  
the particular processor can operate. If lower speeds are desired, the appropriate bus  
ratio multiplier can be configured by driving the A[21:16]# pins at reset. For details of  
operation at core frequencies lower than the maximum rated processor speed, refer to  
the Cedar Mill Processor Family BIOS Writer’s Guide.  
The bus ratio multipliers supported are shown in Table 2-1 and Table 2-2. Other  
combinations will not be validated or supported by Intel. For a given processor, only the  
ratios which result in a core frequency equal to or less than the frequency marked on  
the processor are supported.

series clocking, refer to the appropriate clock driver design guidelines.  
2.1.2  
Front Side Bus Clock Select (BSEL[1:0])  
The BSEL[1:0] signals are used to select the frequency of the processor input clock  
(BCLK[1:0]). Table 2-3 defines the possible combinations of the signals and the  
frequency associated with each combination. The required frequency is determined by  
the processor, chipset, and clock synthesizer. All processors must operate at the same  
front side bus frequency.  
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series operates at a 667 MTS or 800 MTS  
front side bus frequency (selected by a 166 MHz or 200 MHz BCLK[1:0] frequency).  
Individual processors operate at the front side bus frequency specified by BSEL[1:0].  
For more information about these pins, refer to Section 5.1 and the appropriate  
platform design guide.

Phase Lock Loop (PLL) Power and Filter  
VCCA, VCCIOPLL, and VCCA_CACHE are power sources required by the PLL clock generators  
on the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series. These are analog PLLs and they  
require low noise power supplies for minimum jitter. These supplies must be low pass  
filtered from VTT.  
The AC low-pass requirements, with input at VTT, are as follows:  
• < 0.2 dB gain in pass band  
• < 0.5 dB attenuation in pass band < 1 Hz  
• > 34 dB attenuation from 1 MHz to 66 MHz  
• > 28 dB attenuation from 66 MHz to core frequency  
The filter requirements are illustrated in Figure 2-2. For recommendations on  
implementing the filter, refer to the appropriate platform design guide.

Voltage Identification (VID)  
The VID[5:0] pins supply the encodings that determine the voltage to be supplied by  
the VCC (the core voltage for the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series) voltage  
regulator. The VID specification for the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series is  
defined by the Vcc Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) and Enterprise Voltage Regulator  
Down (EVRD) 10.2 Design Guidelines. The voltage set by the VID signals is the  
maximum VCC voltage allowed by the processor. VID signals are open drain outputs,  
which must be pulled up to VTT. Please refer to Table 2-17 for the DC specifications for  
these signals. A minimum VCC voltage is provided in Table 2-10 and changes with  
frequency. This allows processors running at a higher frequency to have a relaxed  
minimum VCC voltage specification. The specifications have been set such that one  
voltage regulator can work with all supported frequencies.  
Individual processor VID values may be calibrated during manufacturing such that two  
devices at the same core speed may have different default VID settings. Furthermore,  
any Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100 Series processor, even those on the same  
processor front side bus, can drive different VID settings during normal operation.  
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series uses six voltage identification pins,  
VID[5:0], to support automatic selection of power supply voltages. Table 2-4 specifies  
the voltage level corresponding to the state of VID[5:0]. 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 (i.e. VID[5:0] = x11111), or the voltage regulation circuit cannot supply the  
voltage that is requested, the processor’s voltage regulator must disable itself. See the  
Vcc Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) and Enterprise Voltage Regulator-Down (EVRD)  
10.2 Design Guidelines for more details.  
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 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 many VID transitions as necessary to  
reach the target core voltage. Transitions above the specified VID are not permitted.  
Table 2-10 includes VID step sizes and DC shift ranges. Minimum and maximum  
voltages must be maintained as shown in Table 2-11 and Figure 2-4.  
The VRM or VRD utilized must be capable of regulating its output to the value defined  
by the new VID. DC specifications for VID transitions are included in Table 2-10 and  
Table 2-11. Please refer to the Vcc Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) and Enterprise  
Voltage Regulator-Down (EVRD) 10.2 Design Guidelines for further details.  
Power source characteristics must be guaranteed to be stable whenever the supply to  
the voltage regulator is stable.

series is defined by the VRM 9.1 DC-DC Converter Design Guidelines. The voltage set  
by the CVID pins is the maximum VCACHE voltage allowed by the processor. A minimum  
VCACHE voltage is provided in Table 2-10.  
Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series with the same front side bus frequency,  
internal cache sizes, and stepping will have consistent CVID values.  
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series uses four voltage identification pins  
(CVID[3:0]) to support automatic selection of power supply voltages. Table 2-5  
specifies the voltage level corresponding to the state of CVID[3:0]. 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 (in a single processor per regulator design), or if both processor  
sockets are empty (in a two processors per regulator design), or the voltage regulation  
circuit cannot supply the voltage that is requested, the processor’s voltage regulator  
must disable itself. See the VRM 9.1 DC-DC Converter Design Guidelines for more  
details.

Note: The voltage regulator will have a fifth VID input and, for VRM 10.2-compliant regulators, a sixth VID  
input as well. The extra input(s) should be tied to a high voltage on the motherboard for correct  
operation. Refer to the appropriate platform design guide for further implementation details.  
2.4  
Reserved, Unused, and TESTHI Pins  
All RESERVED pins must be left unconnected. Connection of these pins to VCC, VSS, or  
to any other signal (including each other) can result in component malfunction or  
incompatibility with future processors. See Section 5 for a pin listing for the processor  
and the location of all RESERVED pins.  
For reliable operation, always terminate unused inputs or bidirectional signals to their  
respective deasserted states. On-die termination has been included on the Dual-Core  
Intel Xeon processor 7100 series to allow signals to be terminated within the processor  
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100 Series Datasheet

Electrical Specifications  
silicon. Most unused AGTL+ inputs may be left as no-connects since AGTL+ termination  
is provided on the processor silicon. See Table 2-7 for details on AGTL+ signals that do  
not include on-die termination. Unused active-high inputs should be connected through  
a resistor to ground (VSS). Unused outputs may 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. For unused AGTL+ input or I/O signals, use pull-up resistors of the same  
value as the on-die termination resistors (RTT). See Table 2-15.  
Most TAP signals, GTL+ asynchronous inputs, and GTL+ asynchronous outputs do not  
include on-die termination (see Table 2-7 for those signals which do not have on-die  
termination). Inputs and used outputs must be terminated on the system board.  
Unused outputs may be terminated on the system board or left connected. 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 guide and the  
appropriate debug port design guide.  
Don’t Care pins are pins on the processor package that are not connected to the  
processor die. These pins can be connected on the motherboard in any way necessary  
for compatible motherboard designs to support other processor versions.  
The TESTHI pins should be tied to 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 50 Ω, then a value  
between 40 Ω and 60 Ω is required.  
The TESTHI pins may use individual pull-up resistors or be grouped together as  
detailed below. Please note that utilization of boundary scan test will not be functional if  
pins are connected together. A matched resistor should be used for each group:  
• TESTHI[3:0]  
• TESTHI[6:5]  
• TESTHI4 --- cannot be grouped with other TESTHI signals  
2.5  
Mixing Processors  
Intel supports and validates multi-processor configurations in which all processors  
operate with the same front side bus frequency, core frequency and internal cache  
sizes. Mixing processors operating at different internal clock frequencies is not  
supported and will not be validated by Intel. Intel does not support or validate  
operation of processors with different cache sizes. Mixing different processor steppings  
but the same model (as per the CPUID instruction) is supported. Details on CPUID are  
provided in the Cedar Mill Processor Family BIOS Writer’s Guide document and the  
Intel® Processor Identification and the CPUID Instruction application note.  
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series does not support mixing of the 7110,  
7120, 7130 or 7140 Processor Numbers. The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100  
series does support mixing of the 7150 and 7140 Processor Numbers.  
2.6  
Front Side Bus Signal Groups  
The front side bus signals are grouped by buffer type as listed in Table 2-6. The buffer  
type indicates which AC and DC specifications apply to the signals. AGTL+ input signals  
have differential input buffers that use GTLREF as a reference level. In this document,  
24  
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100 Series Datasheet  
Electrical Specifications  
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.  
Implementing a source synchronous data bus requires specifying two sets of timing  
parameters. One set is for common clock signals which are dependent upon the rising  
edge of BCLK0 (ADS#, HIT#, HITM#, etc.). The second set is for the source  
synchronous signals that are relative to their respective strobe lines (data and address)  
as well as the rising edge of BCLK0. Asynchronous signals are present (A20M#,  
IGNNE#, etc.) and can become active at any time during the clock cycle. Table 2-6  
identifies signals as common clock, source synchronous, and asynchronous.

2.7  
GTL+ Asynchronous and AGTL+ Asynchronous  
Signals  
The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100 Series processor does not utilize CMOS  
voltage levels on any signals that connect to the processor silicon. As a result, inputs  
signals such as A20M#, FORCEPR#, IGNNE#, INIT#, LINT0/INTR, LINT1/NMI, SMI#,  
and STPCLK# utilize GTL buffers. Legacy output THERMTRIP# utilizes a GTL+ output  
buffer. All of these asynchronous signals follow the same DC requirements as GTL+  
signals; however, the outputs are not driven high (during the logical 0-to-1 transition)  
by the processor. FERR#/PBE#, IERR#, and PROCHOT# have now been defined as  
AGTL+ asynchronous signals as they include an active pMOS device. GTL+  
asynchronous and AGTL+ asynchronous signals do not have setup or hold time  
specifications in relation to BCLK[1:0]. However, all of the GTL+ asynchronous and  
AGTL+ asynchronous signals are required to be asserted/deasserted for at least six  
BCLKs in order for the processor to recognize the proper signal state, except during  
power-on configuration. See Table 2-21 for the DC specifications for the GTL+  
asynchronous and AGTL+ asynchronous signal groups.  
26  
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100 Series Datasheet  
Electrical Specifications  
2.8  
Test Access Port (TAP) Connection  
Due to the voltage levels supported by other components in the TAP logic, Intel  
recommends that the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100 Series processor(s) be  
first in the TAP chain, followed by any other components within the system. Use of a  
translation buffer to connect to the rest of the chain is recommended unless one of the  
other components is capable of accepting an input of the appropriate voltage. Similar  
considerations must be made for TCK, TMS, TRST#, TDI, and TDO. Two copies of each  
signal may be required, each driving a different voltage level.  
2.9  
Maximum Ratings  
Table 2-9 specifies absolute maximum and minimum ratings. Within functional  
operation limits, functionality and long-term reliability can 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 ratings, 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.

For functional operation, all processor electrical, signal quality, mechanical, and thermal specifications must  
be satisfied.  
Overshoot and undershoot voltage guidelines for input, output, and I/O signals are outlined in Section 3.  
Excessive overshoot or undershoot on any signal will likely result in permanent damage to the processor.  
Storage temperature is applicable to storage conditions only. In this scenario, the processor must not  
receive a clock, and no pins can be connected to a voltage bias. Storage within these limits will not affect  
the long-term reliability of the device. For functional operation, please refer to the processor case

Processor DC Specifications  
The following notes apply:  
• The processor DC specifications in this section are defined at the processor core  
silicon and not at the package pins unless noted otherwise.  
• The notes associated with each parameter are part of the specification for that  
parameter.  
• Unless otherwise noted, all specifications in the tables apply to all frequencies and  
cache sizes.  
• Unless otherwise noted, all the specifications in the tables are based on estimates  
and simulations. These specifications will be updated with characterized data from  
silicon measurements at a later date.  
See Section 5 for the pin signal definitions. Most of the signals on the processor front  
side bus are in the AGTL+ signal group. The DC specifications for these signals are  
listed in Table 2-19.  
Table 2-10 through Table 2-22 list the DC specifications for the Dual-Core Intel®

Flexible Motherboard (FMB) Guidelines  
The FMB guidelines are estimates of the maximum values that the Dual-Core Intel Xeon  
processor 7100 series processor will have over certain time periods. The values are  
only estimates as actual specifications for future processors may differ. The Dual-Core  
Intel Xeon processor 7100 series may or may not have specifications equal to the FMB  
value in the foreseeable future. System designers should meet the FMB values to  
ensure that their systems will be compatible with future releases of the Dual-Core Intel

Overshoot Specification  
CC  
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series can tolerate short transient overshoot  
events where VCC exceeds the VID voltage when transitioning from a high-to-low  
current load condition. This overshoot cannot exceed VID + VOS_MAX. (VOS_MAX is the  
maximum allowable overshoot above VID). These specifications apply to the processor  
die voltage as measured across the VCCSENSE and VSSSENSE pins.

Die Voltage Validation  
Overshoot events from application testing on the processor must meet the  
specifications in Table 2-14 when measured across the VCCSENSE and VSSSENSE pins and  
Table 2-15 when measured across the VCC_CACHE_SENSE and VSS_CACHE_SENSE pins.  
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.

AGTL+ Front Side Bus Specifications  
Routing topology recommendations are in the appropriate platform design guide.  
Termination resistors are not required for most AGTL+ signals because they are  
integrated into the processor silicon.  
Valid high and low levels are determined by the input buffers which compare a signal’s  
voltage with a reference voltage called GTLREF.  
Table 2-23 lists the GTLREF specifications. GTLREF should be generated on the system  
board using high-precision voltage divider circuits. For more details on platform design,  
see the appropriate platform design guide.

3 Mechanical Specifications  
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series is packaged in a Flip-Chip Micro Pin  
Grid Array 6 (FC-mPGA6) package that interfaces with the motherboard via a mPGA604  
socket. The package consists of a processor core mounted on a substrate pin-carrier.  
An integrated heat spreader (IHS) is attached to the package substrate and core and  
serves as the mating surface 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 mPGA604 Socket Design Guidelines for  
complete details on the mPGA604 socket.  
The package components shown in Figure 3-1 include the following:  
1. Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS)  
2. Processor die  
3. FC-mPGA6 package  
4. Pin-side capacitors  
5. Package pin

Processor Component Keep-Out Zones  
The processor may contain components on the substrate that define component keep-  
out zone requirements. A thermal and mechanical solution design must not intrude into  
the required keep-out zones. Decoupling capacitors are typically mounted to either the  
topside or pin-side of the package substrate. See Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-3 for keepout  
zones.  
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,  
shipping conditions, or standard use condition. Also, any mechanical system or  
component testing should not exceed the maximum limits. The processor package  
substrate should not be used as a mechanical reference or load-bearing surface for  
thermal and mechanical solutions. The minimum loading specification must be  
maintained by any thermal and mechanical solution.

These specifications apply to uniform compressive loading in a direction perpendicular to the IHS top  
surface.  
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.  
These parameters are based on limited testing for design characterization. Loading limits are for the  
package only and do not include the limits of the processor socket.  
4.  
5.  
This specification applies for thermal retention solutions that allow baseboard deflection.  
This specification applies either for thermal retention solutions that prevent baseboard deflection or for the  
Intel enabled reference solution (CEK).  
6.  
7.  
Dynamic loading is defined as an 11 ms duration average load superimposed on the static load  
requirement.  
Experimentally validated test condition used a heatsink mass of 1 lbm (~0.45 kg) with 100 G acceleration  
measured at heatsink mass. The dynamic portion of this specification in the product application can have  
flexibility in specific values, but the ultimate product of mass times acceleration should not exceed this  
validated dynamic load (1 lbm x 100 G = 100 lb).  
8.  
Transient loading is defined as a 2 second duration peak load superimposed on the static load requirement,  
representative of loads experienced by the package during heatsink installation.

Signal Definitions  
Table 5-1.  
Signal Definitions (Sheet 1 of 8)  
Name  
A[39:3]#  
Type  
Description  
40  
I/O  
A[39:3]# (Address) define a 2 -byte physical memory address space. In sub-  
phase 1 of the address phase, these pins transmit the address of a transaction.  
In sub-phase 2, these pins transmit transaction type information. These signals  
must connect the appropriate pins of all agents on the Dual-Core Intel Xeon  
processor 7100 series front side bus. A[39:3]# are protected by parity signals  
AP[1:0]#. A[39:3]# 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[39:3]# pins to determine their power-on configuration. See  
Section 7.1.  
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-Mbyte 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 6 clks before the I/O write’s  
response.  
ADS#  
I/O  
ADS# (Address Strobe) is asserted to indicate the validity of the transaction  
address on the A[39:3]# and transaction request type on REQ[4:0]# pins. 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 connect the  
appropriate pins on all Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series processor  
front side bus agents.  
ADSTB[1:0]#  
AP[1:0]#  
I/O  
I/O  
Address strobes are used to latch A[39:3]# and REQ[4:0]# on their rising and  
falling edge.  
AP[1:0]# (Address Parity) are driven by the requestor one common clock after  
ADS#, A[39:3]#, REQ[4:0]# are driven. A correct parity signal is electrically  
high if an even number of covered signals are electrically low and electrically  
low if an odd number of covered signals are electrically low. This allows parity  
to be electrically high when all the covered signals are electrically high.  
AP[1:0]# should connect the appropriate pins of all Dual-Core Intel Xeon  
processor 7100 series front side bus agents. The following table defines the  
coverage for these signals.

BCLK[1:0]  
I
The differential bus clock pair BCLK[1:0] determines the bus frequency. All  
processor front side bus agents must receive these signals to drive their  
outputs and latch their inputs.  
All external timing parameters are specified with respect to the rising edge of  
BCLK0 crossing the falling edge of BCLK1.

Signal Definitions  
Table 5-1.  
Signal Definitions (Sheet 2 of 8)  
Name  
BINIT#  
Type  
Description  
I/O  
BINIT# (Bus Initialization) may be observed and driven by all processor front  
side bus agents. If used, BINIT# must connect the appropriate pins of all such  
agents. If the BINIT# driver is enabled, 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 front side bus and attempt  
completion of their bus queue and IOQ entries.  
If BINIT# observation is enabled during power on configuration, a central  
agent may handle an assertion of BINIT# as appropriate to the error handling  
architecture of the system.  
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 any new transactions.  
Since multiple agents might need to request a bus stall at the same time,  
BNR# is a wire-OR signal which must connect the appropriate pins of all  
processor system bus agents. In order to avoid wire-OR glitches associated  
with simultaneous edge transitions driven by multiple drivers, BNR# is  
activated on specific clock edges and sampled on specific clock edges.  
BOOT_  
SELECT  
I
The BOOT_SELECT input informs the processor whether the platform supports  
the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series. Incompatible platform designs  
will have this input connected to V . Thus, this pin is essentially an electrical  
SS  
key to prevent the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series from running in  
a system that is not designed for it. For platforms that are designed to support  
the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series, this pin should be changed to  
a no-connect.  
BPM[5:0]#  
I/O  
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 monitoring processor  
performance. BPM[5:0]# should connect the appropriate pins of all Dual-Core  
Intel Xeon processor 7100 series front side bus agents.  
BPM4# provides PRDY# (Probe Ready) functionality for the TAP port. PRDY# is  
a processor output used by debug tools to determine processor debug  
readiness.  
BPM5# provides PREQ# (Probe Request) functionality for the TAP port. PREQ#  
is a processor input and is used by debug tools to request debug operation of  
the processors.  
BPM[5:4]# must be bussed to all bus agents. Please refer to the appropriate  
platform design guide for more detailed information.  
BPRI#  
I
BPRI# (Bus Priority Request) is used to arbitrate for ownership of the processor  
front side bus. It must connect the appropriate pins of all processor front side  
bus 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 its  
requests are issued, then releases the bus by deasserting BPRI#.

I/O  
I
BR[3:0]# (Bus Request) drive the BREQ[3:0]# signals in the system. The  
BREQ[3:0]# signals are interconnected in a rotating manner to individual  
processor pins. The tables below give the rotating interconnect between the  
processor and bus signals for 3-load configurations.

During power-on configuration, the central agent must assert the BR0# bus  
signal. All symmetric agents sample their BR[3:0]# pins on the active-to-  
inactive transition of RESET#. The pin which the agent samples asserted  
determines its agent ID.  
BSEL[1:0]  
O
These output signals are used to select the front side bus frequency. The  
frequency is determined by the processor(s), chipset, and frequency  
synthesizer capabilities. All front side bus agents must operate at the same  
frequency. Individual processors will only operate at their specified front side  
bus frequency. See the appropriate platform design guide for implementation  
examples.  
See Table 2-3 for output values. Refer to the appropriate platform design guide  
for termination recommendations.  
COMP0  
I
COMP0 must be terminated to V on the baseboard using precision resistors.  
SS  
This input configures the AGTL+ drivers of the processor. Refer to the  
appropriate platform design guide and Table 2-23 for implementation details.  
CVID[3:0]  
O
CVID[3:0] (Cache Voltage ID) pins are used to support automatic selection of  
V
. These are open drain signals that are driven by the processor and must  
CACHE  
be pulled to no more than 3.3 V (+5% tolerance) with a resistor. Conversely,  
the V VR output must be disabled prior to the voltage supply for these  
CACHE  
pins becoming invalid. The CVID pins are needed to support processor voltage  
specification variations. See Table 2-5 for definitions of these pins. The V  
CACHE  
VR must supply the voltage that is requested by these pins, or disable itself.  
D[63:0]#  
I/O  
D[63:0]# (Data) are the data signals. These signals provide a 64-bit data path  
between the processor front side bus agents, and must connect the  
appropriate pins on all such agents. The data driver 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 group 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# pins determine the polarity of the data signals. Each  
group of 16 data signals corresponds to one DBI# signal. When the DBI#  
signal is active, the corresponding data group is inverted and therefore  
sampled active high.  
DBI[3:0]#  
I/O  
DBI[3:0]# are source synchronous and indicate the polarity of the D[63:0]#  
and DEP[7:0]# signals. The DBI[3:0]# signals are activated when the data on  
the data bus is inverted. If more than half the data bits, within an 18-bit group  
(including ECC bits), would have been asserted electrically low, the bus agent  
may invert the data bus and corresponding ECC signals for that particular sub-  
phase for that 18-bit group.  
DBSY#  
I/O  
I
DBSY# (Data Bus Busy) is asserted by the agent responsible for driving data  
on the processor front side bus 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 front side bus agents.  
DEFER#  
DEFER# is asserted by an agent to indicate that a transaction cannot be  
guaranteed in-order completion. 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 front side bus agents.

DEP[7:0]#  
Type  
Description  
I/O  
The DEP[7:0]# (data bus ECC protection) signals provide optional ECC  
protection for the data bus. They are driven by the agent responsible for  
driving D[63:0]#, and, if ECC is implemented, must connect the appropriate  
pins of all bus agents which use them.  
Furthermore, the DBI# pins determine the polarity of the ECC signals. Each  
pair of 2 ECC signals corresponds to one DBI# signal. When the DBI# signal is  
active, the corresponding ECC pair is inverted and therefore sampled active  
high.  
DP[3:0]#  
DRDY#  
I/O  
I/O  
DP[3:0]# (Data Parity) provide optional parity protection for the data bus.  
They are driven by the agent responsible for driving D[63:0]#, and, if parity is  
implemented, must connect the appropriate pins of all bus agents which use  
them.  
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 front side bus agents.

Data strobe used to latch in D[63:0]#, DEP[7:0]# and DBI[3:0]#.  
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 Intel 387  
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

This input can be used to force activation of the Thermal Control Circuit.  
GTLREF[3:0]  
GTLREF determines the signal reference level for AGTL+ input pins. GTLREF is  
used by the AGTL+ receivers to determine if a signal is an electrical 0 or an  
electrical 1. Please refer to Table 2-23 for further details.  
HIT#  
HITM#  
I/O  
I/O  
HIT# (Snoop Hit) and HITM# (Hit Modified) convey transaction snoop  
operation results. Any front side bus 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# together, every other common clock.  
Since multiple agents may deliver snoop results at the same time, HIT# and  
HITM# are wire-OR signals which must connect the appropriate pins of all  
processor front side bus agents. In order to avoid wire-OR glitches associated  
with simultaneous edge transitions driven by multiple drivers, HIT# and HITM#  
are activated on specific clock edges and sampled on specific clock edges.  
ID[7:0]#  
I
ID[7:0]# are the Transaction ID signals. They are driven during the Deferred  
Phase by the deferring agent.  
IDS#  
I
IDS# is the ID Strobe signal. It is asserted to begin the Deferred Phase.  
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 front side bus. 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#.  
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 caused an  
error. IGNNE# has no effect when the NE bit in control register 0 (CR0) is set.  
IGNNE# is an asynchronous signal. However, to ensure recognition of this  
signal following an I/O write instruction, it must be valid a 6 clks before the I/O  
write’s response.

Description  
INIT#  
I
INIT# (Initialization), when asserted, resets integer registers inside all  
processors without affecting their internal caches or floating-point 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 front side bus agents.  
If INIT# is sampled active on the active to inactive transition of RESET#, then  
the processor executes its Built-in Self-Test (BIST).  
LINT0/INTR  
LINT1/NMI  
I
LINT[1:0] (Local APIC Interrupt) must connect the appropriate pins of all front  
side bus agents. When the APIC functionality is disabled, the LINT0 signal  
becomes INTR, a maskable interrupt request signal, and LINT1 becomes NMI,  
a nonmaskable interrupt. INTR and NMI are backward compatible with the  
signals of 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.  
LOCK#  
I/O  
I/O  
LOCK# indicates to the system that a set of transactions must occur atomically.  
This signal must connect the appropriate pins of all processor front side bus  
agents. For a locked sequence of transactions, LOCK# 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 front side bus, it will wait until it observes LOCK# deasserted. This  
enables symmetric agents to retain ownership of the processor front side bus  
throughout the bus locked operation and ensure the atomicity of lock.  
MCERR#  
MCERR# (Machine Check Error) is asserted to indicate an unrecoverable error  
or a bus protocol violation. It may be driven by all processor front side bus  
agents.  
MCERR# assertion conditions are configurable at a system level. Assertion  
options are defined as follows:  
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 IA-32  
®
Intel Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 3: System Programming Guide or  
the BIOS Writer’s Guide which includes the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor  
7100 Series processor.  
Since multiple agents may drive this signal at the same time, MCERR# is a  
wired-OR signal which must connect the appropriate pins of all processor front  
side bus agents. In order to avoid wire-OR glitches associated with  
simultaneous edge transitions driven by multiple drivers, MCERR# is activated  
on specific clock edges and sampled on specific clock edges.  
ODTEN  
I
ODTEN (On-die termination enable) should be connected to V through a  
TT  
resistor to enable on-die termination for end bus agents. For middle bus  
agents, pull this signal down via a resistor to ground to disable on-die  
termination. Whenever ODTEN is high, on-die termination will be active,  
regardless of other states of the bus.  
OOD#  
I
O
I
OOD# allows data delivery to occur subsequent to IDS# assertion during the  
Deferred Phase.  
PROCHOT#  
PWRGOOD  
The assertion of PROCHOT# (processor hot) indicates that the processor die  
temperature has reached its thermal limit. See Section 6.2.4 for more details.  
PWRGOOD (Power Good) is an input. The processor requires this signal to be a  
clean indication that all Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series 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.  
The PWRGOOD signal must be supplied to the processor. This signal is used to  
protect internal circuits against voltage sequencing issues. It should be driven  
high throughout boundary scan operation.

Description  
I/O  
REQ[4:0]# (Request Command) must connect the appropriate pins of all  
processor front side bus 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  
invalidates their internal caches without writing back any of their contents. For  
a power-on Reset, RESET# must stay active for at least 1 ms after VCC and  
BCLK have reached their specified levels. On observing active RESET#, all front  
side bus agents will deassert their outputs within two clocks. RESET# must not  
be kept asserted for more than 10 ms.  
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 Section 7.1.  
RS[2:0]#  
RSP#  
I
I
RS[2:0]# (Response Status) are driven by the response agent (the agent  
responsible for completion of the current transaction), and must connect to the  
appropriate pins of all processor front side bus agents.  
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 front side bus agents.  
A correct parity signal is electrically high if an even number of covered signals  
are electrically low and electrically low if an odd number of covered signals are  
electrically low. If RS[2:0]# are all electrically high, RSP# is also electrically  
high, since this indicates it is not being driven by any agent guaranteeing  
correct parity.

SM_ALERT# (SMBus Alert) is an asynchronous interrupt line associated with  
the SMBus Thermal Sensor device. It is an open-drain output and the  
processor includes a 10kΩ pull-up resistor to SM_VCC for this signal. For more  
information on the usage of the SM_ALERT# pin, see Section 7.4.9.  
SM_CLK  
I/O  
The SM_CLK (SMBus Clock) signal is an input clock to the system management  
logic which is required for operation of the system management features of the  
Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series. This clock is driven by the SMBus  
controller and is asynchronous to other clocks in the processor.The processor  
includes a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor to SM_VCC for this signal.  
SM_DAT  
I/O  
I
The SM_DAT (SMBus Data) signal is the data signal for the SMBus. This signal  
provides the single-bit mechanism for transferring data between SMBus  
devices. The processor includes a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor to SM_VCC for this  
signal.  
SM_EP_A[2:0]  
The SM_EP_A (EEPROM Select Address) pins are decoded on the SMBus in  
conjunction with the upper address bits in order to maintain unique addresses  
on the SMBus in a system with multiple processors. To set an SM_EP_A line  
high, a pull-up resistor should be used that is no larger than 1 kΩ. The  
processor includes a 10 kΩ pull-down resistor to V for each of these signals.  
SS  
For more information on the usage of these pins, see Section 7.4.1.  
SM_TS_A[1:0]  
I
The SM_TS_A (Thermal Sensor Select Address) pins are decoded on the SMBus  
in conjunction with the upper address bits in order to maintain unique  
addresses on the SMBus in a system with multiple processors.  
The device’s addressing, as implemented, includes a Hi-Z state for both  
address pins. The use of the Hi-Z state is achieved by leaving the input floating  
(unconnected).

Description  
SMI#  
I
SMI# (System Management Interrupt) is asserted asynchronously by 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.  
On the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series, it is required that SMI#  
assertion be observed 8 BCLKs before the Response Status (RS[2:0]#) is  
observed by the processor.  
If SMI# is asserted during the deassertion of RESET#, the processor will tri-  
state its outputs.  
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  
front side bus and APIC units. The processor continues to snoop bus  
transactions and service interrupts while in Stop-Grant state. When STPCLK# is  
deasserted, 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.

I
TESTHI[6:0] must be connected to a V power source through a resistor for  
TT  
proper processor operation. See Section 2.4 for more details.  
O
Assertion of THERMTRIP# (Thermal Trip) indicates the processor junction  
temperature has reached a temperature beyond which permanent silicon  
damage may occur. THERMTRIP# (Thermal Trip) will activate at a temperature  
that is approximately 15°C above the maximum case temperature (TC).  
Measurement 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#. 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 deassertion of the PWRGOOD signal will  
de-assert THERMTRIP#, if the processor’s junction temperature remains at or  
above the trip level, THERMTRIP# will again be asserted within 10 µs of the  
assertion of PWRGOOD. Thermtrip should not be sampled until 10 µs after  
PWRGOOD assertion at the processor.

Thermal Specifications  
6 Thermal Specifications  
6.1  
Package Thermal Specifications  
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series requires a thermal solution to maintain  
temperatures within operating limits. Any attempt to operate 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 Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS). Typical system level thermal  
solutions may consist of system fans combined with ducting and venting.  
For more information on designing a component level thermal solution, refer to the  
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100 Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines.  
Note:  
The boxed processor will ship with a component thermal solution. Refer to Section 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 6-1or Figure 6-2). 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 appropriate  
processor thermal/mechanical design guidelines.  
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series uses a methodology for managing  
processor temperatures which is intended to support acoustic noise reduction through  
fan speed control and assure processor reliability. Selection of the appropriate fan  
speed will be based on the temperature reported by the processor’s Thermal Diode. If  
the diode temperature is greater than or equal to Tcontrol (see Section 6.2.7), then the  
processor case temperature must remain at or below the temperature as specified by  
the thermal profile (see Figure 6-1 or Figure 6-2). If the diode temperature is less than  
Tcontrol, then the case temperature is permitted to exceed the thermal profile, but the  
diode temperature must remain at or below Tcontrol. Systems that implement fan  
speed control must be designed to take these conditions into account. Systems that do  
not alter the fan speed only need to guarantee the case temperature meets the thermal  
profile specifications.  
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series thermal profile ensures adherence to  
Intel reliability requirements. The thermal profile is representative of a industry  
enabled 2U heat sink. 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. Refer to the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100  
Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines for details on system thermal solution  
design, thermal profiles, and environmental considerations.  
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100 Series Datasheet  
73  
Thermal Specifications  
The upper point of the thermal profile consists of the Thermal Design Power (TDP)  
defined in Table 6-1and the associated TCASE value. The lower point of the thermal  
profile consists of x = PCONTROL_BASE and y = TCASE_MAX @ PCONTROL_BASE. Pcontrol is  
defined as the processor power at which TCASE, calculated from the thermal profile,  
corresponds to the lowest possible value of Tcontrol. This point is associated with the  
Tcontrol value (see Section 6.2.7). However, because Tcontrol represents a diode  
temperature, it is necessary to define the associated case temperature. This is  
TCASE_MAX @ PCONTROL_BASE. Please see Section 6.2.7 and the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon®  
Processor 7100 Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines for proper usage of the  
Tcontrol specification.  
The case temperature is defined at the geometric top center of the processor IHS.  
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 TDP indicated in Table 6-1. 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 future  
requirements, systems should be designed to the Flexible Motherboard (FMB)  
guidelines, even if a processor with a lower thermal dissipation is currently planned.  
Thermal Monitor or Thermal Monitor 2 feature must be enabled for the  
processor to remain within specification.

Processor Thermal Features  
6.2.1  
Thermal Monitor  
The Thermal Monitor feature helps control the processor temperature by activating the  
Thermal Control Circuit (TCC) when the processor silicon reaches its maximum  
operating temperature. The TCC reduces processor power consumption as needed by  
modulating (starting and stopping) the internal processor core clocks. The Thermal  
Monitor (or Thermal Monitor 2) must be enabled for the processor to be operating  
within specifications. The temperature at which Thermal Monitor activates the thermal  
control circuit is not user configurable and is not software visible. Bus traffic 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 Thermal Monitor is enabled and a high temperature situation exists (i.e. 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%). Clocks will not be off for more  
than 3 microseconds when the TCC is active. 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.  
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100 Series Datasheet  
77  
Thermal Specifications  
With a thermal solution designed to meet the 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 processor performance impact due to these brief  
periods of TCC activation is expected to be so minor that it would be immeasurable. A  
thermal solution that is significantly under-designed may not be capable of cooling the  
processor even when the TCC is active continuously. Refer to the Dual-Core Intel®  
Xeon® Processor 7100 Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines for information on  
designing a thermal solution.  
The duty cycle for the TCC, when activated by the Thermal Monitor, is factory  
configured and cannot be modified. The Thermal Monitor does not require any  
additional hardware, software drivers, or interrupt handling routines.  
6.2.2  
Thermal Monitor 2  
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series also supports an additional power  
reduction capability known as Thermal Monitor 2 (TM2). This mechanism provides an  
efficient means for limiting the processor temperature by reducing the power  
consumption within the processor. The Thermal Monitor (or Thermal Monitor 2) feature  
must be enabled for the processor to be operating within specifications.  
When Thermal Monitor 2 is enabled and a high temperature situation is detected, the  
Thermal Control Circuit (TCC) will be activated. The TCC causes the processor to adjust  
its operating frequency (via the bus multiplier) and input voltage (via the VID signals).  
This combination of reduced frequency and VID results in a decrease to the processor  
power consumption.  
A processor enabled for Thermal Monitor 2 includes two operating points, each  
consisting of a specific operating frequency and voltage. The first operating point  
represents the normal operating condition for the processor. Under this condition, the  
core-frequency-to-system-bus multiplier utilized by the processor is that contained in  
the IA32_FLEX_BRVID_SEL MSR and the VID is that specified in Table 2-10. These  
parameters represent normal system operation.  
The second point consists of both a lower operating frequency and voltage. When the  
TCC is activated, the processor automatically transitions to the new frequency. This  
transition occurs very rapidly (on the order of 5 microseconds). 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 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 2-10). 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 ensure proper operation once the processor reaches its  
normal operating frequency. Refer to Figure 6-4 for an illustration of this ordering.

The PROCHOT# signal is asserted when a high temperature situation is detected,  
regardless of whether Thermal Monitor or Thermal Monitor 2 is enabled.  
If a processor has its Thermal Control Circuit activated via a Thermal Monitor 2 event,  
and an Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology transition to a higher target frequency  
(through the applicable MSR write) is attempted, this frequency transition will be  
delayed until the TCC is deactivated and the TM2 event is complete.  
Note:  
Not all processors are capable of supporting Thermal Monitor 2. More details on which  
processor frequencies will support this feature will be provided in future releases of the  
NDA Specification Update.  
6.2.3  
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 Thermal Monitor and Thermal Monitor 2  
features. On-Demand mode is intended as a means to reduce system level power  
consumption. Systems utilizing the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series  
processor must not rely on software usage of this mechanism to limit the processor  
temperature.  
If bit 4 of the IA_32_CLOCK_MODULATION MSR is written 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 IA_32_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 or  
Thermal Monitor 2. If Thermal Monitor is enabled and the system tries to enable On-  
Demand mode at the same time the TCC is engaged, the factory configured duty cycle  
of the TCC will override the duty cycle selected by the On-Demand mode.  
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100 Series Datasheet

Thermal Specifications  
6.2.4  
PROCHOT# Signal Pin  
An external signal, PROCHOT# (processor hot), is asserted when the processor die  
temperature has reached its factory configured trip point. If the Thermal Monitor is  
enabled (note that the Thermal Monitor must be enabled for the processor to be  
operating within specification), the TCC will be active when PROCHOT# is asserted. The  
processor can be configured to generate an interrupt upon the assertion or de-  
assertion of PROCHOT#. Refer to the IA-32 Intel® Architecture Software Developer’s  
Manual and the Cedar Mill Processor Family BIOS Writer’s Guide for specific register  
and programming details.  
PROCHOT# is designed to assert at or a few degrees higher than maximum TCASE (as  
specified by the thermal profile) 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, the case temperature, or the thermal diode temperature. Thermal  
solutions must be designed to the processor specifications and cannot be adjusted  
based on experimental measurements of TCASE, PROCHOT#, or Tdiode on random  
processor samples.  
6.2.5  
FORCEPR# Signal Pin  
The FORCEPR# (force power reduction) input can be used by the platform to force the  
Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series to activate the TCC. If the Thermal Monitor  
is enabled, the TCC will be activated upon the assertion of the FORCEPR# signal. 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 voltage regulator (VR) as an example, when the FORCEPR# pin  
is asserted, the TCC 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 microseconds is  
recommended when FORCEPR# is asserted by the system. Sustained activation of the  
FORCEPR# pin may cause noticeable platform performance degradation.  
Refer to the appropriate platform design guide for details on implementing the  
FORCEPR# signal feature.  
6.2.6  
THERMTRIP# Signal Pin  
Regardless of whether or not Thermal Monitor or 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 system bus 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 removal of VTT.  
6.2.7  
T
and Fan Speed Reduction  
CONTROL  
TCONTROL is a temperature specification based on a temperature reading from the  
thermal diode. The value for TCONTROL_OFFSET will be calibrated in manufacturing and  
configured for each processor. The TCONTROL temperature for a given processor can be  
80  
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100 Series Datasheet  
Thermal Specifications  
obtained by reading the IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET MSR in the processor. The  
CONTROL_OFFSET value that is read from the IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET MSR (1A2H)  
T
must be converted from Hexadecimal to Decimal and added to a TCONTROL_BASE value of  
50°C for 150W TDP parts and added to a TCONTROL_BASE value of 40°C for 95W TDP  
parts.  
The Platform Id Bits located in the IA32_PLATFORM_ID MSR (17H) Bits[52:50] may be  
used by the BIOS to determine the TDP of the processor. A 150W TDP part has a  
Platform ID of ‘001’(Processor Flag 1) and a 95W TDP part has a Platform ID of ‘101’  
(Processor Flag 5). Refer to the Cedar Mill Processor Family BIOS Writers Guide for  
specific register details.  
The value of TCONTROL_OFFSET may vary from 0x00h to 0x1Eh. Refer to the Cedar Mill  
Processor Family BIOS Writers Guide for specific register details.  
When Tdiode is above TCONTROL, then TCASE must be at or below TCASE_MAX as defined  
by the thermal profile (see Figure 6-1 and Table 6-2 or Figure 6-2 and Table 6-3).  
Otherwise, the processor temperature can be maintained at TCONTROL  
.
6.2.8  
Thermal Diode  
The processor incorporates two on-die thermal diodes. A thermal sensor located on the  
processor package monitors the die temperature of the processor for thermal  
management/long term die temperature change purposes. The thermal diodes are  
separate from the Thermal Monitor’s thermal sensor and cannot be used to predict the  
behavior of the Thermal Monitor.

7.2  
Clock Control and Low Power States  
The processor allows the use of HALT and Stop-Grant states 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 Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series adds support for Enhanced HALT power  
down state. Refer to Figure 7-1 and the following sections. For more configuration  
details, also refer to the Cedar Mill Processor Family BIOS Writer’s Guide.  
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. The Hyper-Threading Technology feature adds the  
conditions that all logical processors share the same STPCLK# signal internally. When  
the STPCLK# signal is asserted, the processor enters the Stop-Grant state, issuing a  
Stop-Grant Special Bus Cycle (SBC) for each processor or logical processor. The chipset  
needs to account for a variable number of processors asserting the Stop-Grant SBC on

power states. Refer to the applicable chipset specification and the Cedar Mill Processor  
Family BIOS Writer’s Guide for more information.  
7.2.1  
7.2.2  
Normal State  
This is the normal operating state for the processor.  
HALT or Enhanced Power Down State  
The Enhanced HALT power down state is configured and enabled via the BIOS. Refer to  
the Cedar Mill Processor Family BIOS Writer’s Guide for Enhanced HALT state  
configuration information. If the Enhanced HALT state is not enabled, the default power  
down state entered will be HALT. Refer to the section below for details on HALT and  
Enhanced HALT states.  
7.2.2.1  
HALT Power Down State  
HALT is a low power state entered when all logical processors have executed the HALT  
or MWAIT instruction. When one of the logical processors executes the HALT or MWAIT  
instruction, that logical processor is halted; however, the other processor continues  
normal operation. The processor transitions 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# causes the processor to immediately initialize itself.  
The return from a System Management Interrupt (SMI) handler can be to either  
Normal Mode or the HALT Power Down state. See the IA-32 Intel®Architecture Software  
Developer's Manual, Volume III: System Programming Guide for more information.  
The system can generate a STPCLK# while the processor is in the HALT Power Down  
state. When the system deasserts the STPCLK# interrupt, the processor returns  
execution to the HALT state.  
While in HALT Power Down state, the processor processes bus snoops and interrupts.  
7.2.2.2  
Enhanced HALT Power Down State  
Enhanced HALT state is a low power state entered when all logical processors have  
executed the HALT or MWAIT instructions and Enhanced HALT state has been enabled  
via the BIOS. When one of the logical processors executes the HALT instruction, that  
logical processor is halted; however, the other processor continues normal operation.  
The Enhanced HALT state is generally a lower power state than the Stop Grant state.  
The processor automatically transitions to a lower core frequency and voltage operating  
point before entering the Enhanced 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 first switches to the lower bus ratio and then transitions to  
the lower VID.  
While in the Enhanced HALT state, the processor processes bus snoops.  
The processor exits the Enhanced HALT state when a break event occurs. When the  
processor exits the Enhanced HALT state, it first transitions the VID to the original  
value and then changes the bus 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 20  
bus clocks after the response phase of the processor-issued Stop Grant Acknowledge  
special bus cycle. For the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series, both logical  
processors 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# is not serviced while the processor is in Stop-Grant state. The event is latched  
and can be serviced by software upon exit from the Stop-Grant state.  
RESET# causes the processor to immediately initialize itself, but the processor will stay  
in Stop-Grant state. A transition back to the Normal state occurs with the deassertion  
of the STPCLK# signal.  
A transition to the Grant Snoop state occurs when the processor detects a snoop on the  
front side bus (see Section 7.2.4).  
While in the Stop-Grant state, SMI#, INIT#, BINIT# and LINT[1:0] are latched by the  
processor, and only serviced when the processor returns to the Normal state. Only one  
occurrence of each event is recognized upon return to the Normal state.  
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100 Series Datasheet  
85  
Features  
While in Stop-Grant state, the processor processes snoops on the front side bus and  
latches interrupts delivered on the front side bus.  
The PBE# signal can be driven when the processor is in Stop-Grant state. PBE# is  
asserted if there is any pending interrupt latched within the processor. Pending  
interrupts that are blocked by the EFLAGS.IF bit being clear 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  
Enhanced HALT Snoop State or HALT Snoop State,  
Stop Grant Snoop State  
The Enhanced HALT Snoop state is used in conjunction with the Enhanced HALT state.  
If Enhanced 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,  
Grant Snoop state and Enhanced HALT Snoop state.  
7.2.4.1  
HALT Snoop State, Stop Grant Snoop State  
The processor responds to snoop or interrupt transactions on the front side bus while in  
Stop-Grant state or in HALT Power Down state. During a snoop or interrupt transaction,  
the processor enters the HALT/Grant Snoop state. The processor stays 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 Power Down state, as appropriate.  
7.2.4.2  
Enhanced HALT Snoop State  
The Enhanced HALT Snoop state is the default Snoop state when the Enhanced HALT  
state is enabled via the BIOS. The processor remains in the lower bus ratio and VID  
operating point of the Enhanced HALT state.  
While in the Enhanced HALT 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 returns to the Enhanced HALT state.  
7.3  
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology  
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology enables the processor to switch between  
frequency and voltage points, which may result in platform power savings. In order to  
support this technology, the system must support dynamic VID transitions. Switching  
between voltage/frequency states is software controlled. For more configuration details  
also refer to the Cedar Mill Processor Family BIOS Writer's Guide.  
Note:  
Not all processors are capable of supporting Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology.  
More details on which processor frequencies will support this feature will be provided in  
future releases of the NDA Specification Update.  
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology is a technology that creates processor  
performance states (P-states). P-states are power consumption and capability states  
within the Normal state. 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  
86  
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100 Series Datasheet  
Features  
performance and power requirements of the processor and system. 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:  
• 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

changing the target VID through the VID signals.

System Management Bus (SMBus) Interface  
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series package includes an SMBus interface  
which allows access to a memory component with two sections (referred to as the  
Processor Information ROM and the Scratch EEPROM) and a thermal sensor on the  
substrate. The SMBus thermal sensor may be used to read the thermal diode  
mentioned in Section 6.2.8. These devices and their features are described below.  
The SMBus thermal sensor and its associated thermal diode are not related to and are  
completely independent of the precision, on-die temperature sensor and thermal  
control circuit (TCC) of the Thermal Monitor or Thermal Monitor 2 features discussed in  
Section 6.2.1.  
The processor SMBus implementation uses the clock and data signals of the System  
Management Bus (SMBus) Specification. It does not implement the SMBSUS# signal.  
Layout and routing guidelines are available in the appropriate platform design guide  
document.  
For platforms which do not implement any of the SMBus features found on the  
processor, all of the SMBus connections, except SM_VCC, to the socket pins may be  
left unconnected (SM_ALERT#, SM_CLK, SM_DAT, SM_EP_A[2:0], SM_TS_A[1:0],  
SM_WP).

Figure 7-2. Logical Schematic of SMBus Circuitry  
Note: Actual implementation may vary. This figure is provided to offer a general understanding of the  
architecture. All SMBus pull-up and pull-down resistors are 10 kΩ and located on the processor.  
7.4.1  
SMBus Device Addressing  
Of the addresses broadcast across the SMBus, the memory component claims those of  
the form “1010XXXZb. The “XXX” bits are defined by pull-up and pull-down resistors  
on the system baseboard. These address pins are pulled down weakly (10 kΩ) on the  
processor substrate to ensure that the memory components are in a known state in  
systems which do not support the SMBus (or only support a partial implementation).  
The “Z” bit is the read/write bit for the serial bus transaction.  
The thermal sensor internally decodes one of three upper address patterns from the  
bus of the form “0011XXXZb, 1001XXXZb, or “0101XXXZb. The device’s addressing,  
as implemented, uses the SM_TS_A[1:0] pins in either the HI, LO, or Hi-Z state.  
Therefore, the thermal sensor supports nine unique addresses. To set either pin for the  
Hi-Z state, the pin must be left floating. As before, the “Z” bit is the read/write bit for  
the serial transaction.  
Note that addresses of the form “0000XXXXb” are Reserved and should not be  
generated by an SMBus master. The thermal sensor samples and latches the  
SM_TS_A[1:0] signals at power-up. System designers should ensure that these signals  
are at valid VIH, VIL, or floating input levels prior to or while the thermal sensor’s  
SM_VCC supply powers up. This should be done by pulling the pins to SM_VCC or VSS  
88  
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100 Series Datasheet  
Features  
via a 1 kΩ or smaller resistor, or leaving the pins floating to achieve the Hi-Z state. If  
the system designer wants to drive the SM_TS_A[1:0] pins with logic, the designer  
must still ensure that the pins are at valid input levels prior to or while the SM_VCC  
supply ramps up. The system designer must also ensure that their particular  
implementation does not add excessive capacitance to the address inputs. Excess  
capacitance at the address inputs may cause address recognition problems. Refer to  
the appropriate platform design guide document.  
Figure 7-2 shows a logical diagram of the pin connections. Table 7-2 and Table 7-3  
describe the address pin connections and how they affect the addressing of the  
devices.

PIROM and Scratch EEPROM Supported SMBus  
Transactions  
The Processor Information ROM (PIROM) responds to two SMBus packet types: Read  
Byte and Write Byte. However, since the PIROM is write-protected, it will acknowledge a  
Write Byte command but ignore the data. The Scratch EEPROM responds to Read Byte  
and Write Byte commands. Table 7-4 diagrams the Read Byte command. Table 7-5  
diagrams the Write Byte command. Following a write cycle to the scratch ROM,  
software must allow a minimum of 10 ms before accessing either ROM of the processor.  
In the tables, ‘S’ represents the SMBus start bit, ‘P’ represents a stop bit, ‘R’ represents  
a read bit, ‘W’ represents a write bit, ‘A’ represents an acknowledge (ACK), and ‘///’  
represents a negative acknowledge (NACK). The shaded bits are transmitted by the  
Processor Information ROM or Scratch EEPROM, and the bits that aren’t shaded are  
transmitted by the SMBus host controller. In the tables, the data addresses indicate 8  
bits. The SMBus host controller should transmit 8 bits with the most significant bit  
indicating which section of the EEPROM is to be addressed: the Processor Information  
ROM (MSB = 0) or the Scratch EEPROM (MSB = 1).

Header  
To maintain backward compatibility, the Header defines the starting address for each  
subsequent section of the PIROM. Software should check for the offset before reading  
data from a particular section of the ROM.  
Example: Code looking for the cache data of a processor would read offset 05h to find  
a value of 25h. 25h is the first address within the 'Cache Data' section of the PIROM.

FSB: Front Side Bus Speed  
This location contains the front side bus frequency information. Systems may need to  
read this offset to decide if all installed processors support the same front side bus  
speed. Because the Intel NetBurst microarchitecture bus is described as a 4X data bus,  
the frequency given in this field is currently 667 MHz or 800 MHz. The data provided is  
the speed, rounded to a whole number, and reflected in hex. Writes to this register  
have no effect.  
Example: The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series supports a 667 or 800 MHz

Features  
Checksums are automatically calculated and programmed by Intel. The first step in  
calculating the checksum is to add each byte from the field to the next subsequent  
byte. This result is then negated to provide the checksum.  
Example: For a byte string of AA445Ch, the resulting checksum will be B6h.  
AA = 10101010  
44 = 01000100  
5C = 0101100  
AA + 44 + 5C = 01001010  
Negate the sum: 10110101 +1 = 101101 (B6h)

Scratch EEPROM  
Also available in the memory component on the processor SMBus is an EEPROM which  
may be used for other data at the system or processor vendor’s discretion. The data in  
this EEPROM, once programmed, can be write-protected by asserting the active-high  
SM_WP signal. This signal has a weak pull-down (10 kΩ) to allow the EEPROM to be  
programmed in systems with no implementation of this signal. The Scratch EEPROM  
resides in the upper half of the memory component (addresses 80 - FFh). The lower  
half comprises the Processor Information ROM (addresses 00 - 7Fh), which is  
permanently write-protected by Intel.  
SMBus Thermal Sensor  
The processor’s SMBus thermal sensor provides a means of acquiring thermal data  
from the processor’s two thermal diodes. The thermal sensor is composed of control  
logic, SMBus interface logic, a precision analog-to-digital converter, and a single bank  
of precision current sources. The A/D converter and the current source are muxed  
between the two sensor channels. The sensor drives a small current through the p-n  
junction for the thermal diodes located on the processor core. The forward bias voltage  
generated across each thermal diode is sensed and the precision A/D converter derives  
a byte of thermal reference data, or a “thermal byte reading.The resolution of the  
least significant bit of a thermal byte is 1° Celsius.  
The processor incorporates the SMBus thermal sensor onto the processor package.  
Upper and lower thermal reference thresholds can be individually programmed for each  
channel of the SMBus thermal sensor. Comparator circuits sample the register where  
the single byte of thermal data (thermal byte reading) is stored. These circuits compare  
the single-byte result against programmable threshold bytes. If enabled, the alert  
signal on the processor SMBus (SM_ALERT#) will be asserted when the sensor detects  
that either the high or low threshold is reached or crossed for each channel. Analysis of  
SMBus thermal sensor data may be useful in detecting changes in the system  
environment that may require attention.  
The processor SMBus thermal sensor may be used to monitor long term temperature  
trends, but can not be used to manage the short term temperature of the processor or  
predict the activation of the thermal control circuit. As mentioned earlier, the  
processor’s high thermal ramp rates make this infeasible. Refer to the thermal design  
guidelines listed in Section 1.2 for more details.  
The SMBus thermal sensor feature in the processor cannot be used to measure TCASE  
.
The TCASE specification in Section 6 must be met regardless of the reading of the  
processor's thermal sensor in order to ensure adequate cooling for the entire processor.  
The SMBus thermal sensor feature is only available while VCC and SM_VCC are at valid  
levels and the processor is not in a low-power state.

Thermal Sensor Supported SMBus Transactions  
The thermal sensor responds to five of the SMBus packet types: Write Byte, Read Byte,  
Send Byte, Receive Byte, and Alert Response Address (ARA). The Send Byte packet can  
be used for sending one-shot commands. The Receive Byte packet accesses the  
register commanded by the last Read Byte packet and can be used to continuously read  
from a register. If a Receive Byte packet was preceded by a Write Byte or send Byte  
packet more recently than a Read Byte packet, then the behavior is undefined.  
Table 7-8 through Table 7-12 diagram the five packet types. In these figures, ‘S’  
represents the SMBus start bit, ‘P’ represents a stop bit, ‘Ack’ represents an  
acknowledge, and ‘///’ represents a negative acknowledge (NACK). The shaded bits are  
transmitted by the thermal sensor, and the bits that aren’t shaded are transmitted by  
the SMBus host controller.

Bit 3 of Configuration register 1 must be set to 0 (default value is 0).  
Writing to RESERVED bits may cause unexpected results. RESERVED bits that must be correctly  
programmed are identified in the register definitions in the following section. Reading from RESERVED bits  
will return unknown values.  
3.  
The 4 least significant bits of the thermal sensor die revision code may change and should not be used for  
identification.  
All of the commands in Table 7-13 are for reading or writing registers in the SMBus  
thermal sensor, except the one-shot register (0Fh). The one-shot command forces the  
immediate start of a new conversion cycle. If a conversion is in progress when the one-  
shot command is received, then the command is ignored. If the thermal sensor is in  
stand-by mode when the one-shot command is received, a conversion is performed  
and the sensor returns to stand-by mode. The one-shot command is not supported  
when the thermal sensor is in auto-convert mode.  
Note:  
Writing to a read-command register or reading from a write-command register will  
produce invalid results.

7.4.8  
SMBus Thermal Sensor Registers  
7.4.8.1  
Thermal Value Registers  
Once the SMBus thermal sensor reads a processor thermal diode, it performs an analog  
to digital conversion and stores the data in a temperature value register. The supported  
range is +127 to 0 decimal and is expressed as an eight-bit number representing  
temperature in degrees Celsius. This eight-bit value consists of seven bits of data and a  
sign bit (MSB) where the sign is always positive (sign = 0) and is shown in Table 7-14.  
The values shown are also used to program the Thermal Limit Registers.  
The values of these registers should be treated as saturating values. Values above 127  
are represented at 127 decimal, and values of zero and below may be represented as 0  
to -127 decimal. If the device returns a value where the sign bit is set (1) and the data  
is 000_0000 through 111_1110, the temperature should be interpreted as 0° Celsius.

7.4.8.3  
Thermal Limit Registers  
The SMBus thermal sensor has high and low Thermal Limit Registers for each channel.  
These registers allow the user to define high and low limits for the processor core  
thermal diode readings. The encoding for these registers is the same as for the thermal  
reference registers shown in Table 7-14. If either processor thermal diode reading  
equals or exceeds one of these limits, then the alarm bit (R1HIGH, R1LOW, R2HIGH, or  
R2LOW) in the Thermal Sensor Status Register is triggered.  
Status Registers  
The Status Registers shown in Table 7-15 and Table 7-16 indicates which, if any,  
thermal value thresholds for the processor core thermal diode have been exceeded. It  
also indicates whether a conversion is in progress or an open circuit has been detected  
in either processor core thermal diode connection. Once set, alarm bits stay set until  
they are cleared by a Status Register read. A successful read to the Status Register will  
clear any alarm bits that may have been set (unless the alarm condition persists). If  
the SM_ALERT# signal is enabled via the Thermal Sensor Configuration Register and a  
thermal diode threshold is exceeded, an alert will be sent to the platform via the  
SM_ALERT# signal.

conversion rate value; and address 0Ah for writing the value. Table 7-18 shows the  
mapping between Conversion Rate Register values and the conversion rate. As  
indicated in Table 7-13, the Conversion Rate Register is set to its default state of 1000b  
(16 Hz nominally) when the thermal sensor is powered up. There is a ±30% error  
tolerance between the conversion rate indicated in the conversion rate register and the  
actual conversion rate.

7.4.9  
SMBus Thermal Sensor Alert Interrupt  
The SMBus thermal sensor located on the processor includes the ability to interrupt the  
SMBus when a fault condition exists. The fault conditions consist of:  
1. a processor thermal diode value measurement that exceeds a user-defined high or  
low threshold programmed into the Command Register; or  
2. disconnection of the processor thermal diode from the thermal sensor.  
The interrupt can be enabled and disabled via the thermal sensor Configuration  
Register and is delivered to the system board via the SM_ALERT# open drain output.  
Once latched, the SM_ALERT# should only be cleared by reading the Alert Response  
byte from the Alert Response Address of the thermal sensor. The Alert Response  
Address is a special slave address shown in Table 7-12. The SM_ALERT# will be cleared  
once the SMBus master device reads the slave ARA unless the fault condition persists.  
Reading the Status Register or setting the mask bit within the Configuration Register  
does not clear the interrupt.

Boxed Processor Specifications  
8 Boxed Processor Specifications  
8.1  
Introduction  
Intel boxed processors are intended for system integrators who build systems from  
components available through distribution channels. Future revisions may have  
solutions that differ from those discussed here.  
The thermal solution for the boxed Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series, for  
each processor frequency, includes an unattached passive heatsink. This solution is  
targeted at chassis which are 3U and above in height.  
This section documents baseboard and platform requirements for the thermal solution,  
supplied with the boxed Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series. This section is  
particularly important to companies that design and manufacture baseboards, chassis  
and complete systems. Figure 8-1 shows the conceptual drawing of the boxed  
processor thermal solution.  
Drawings in this section reflect only the specifications on the Intel boxed processor  
product. These dimensions should not be used as a generic keep-out zone for all  
cooling solutions. It is the system designer’s responsibility to consider their proprietary  
cooling solution when designing to the required keep-out zone on their system platform  
and chassis.

Mechanical Specifications  
This section documents the mechanical specifications of the boxed processor passive  
heatsink.  
8.2.1  
Boxed Processor Heatsink Dimensions  
The boxed processor is shipped with an unattached passive heatsink. Clearance is  
required around the heatsink to ensure unimpeded airflow for proper cooling. The  
physical space requirements and dimensions for the boxed processor and assembled  
heatsink are shown in the following figures.

8.2.3  
Boxed Processor Heatsink Weight  
The boxed processor heatsink weight is approximately 530 grams. See Section 3 of this  
document for details on the processor weight and the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon®  
Processor 7100 Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines for the enabled heatsink  
requirements.  
Boxed Processor Retention Mechanism and Heatsink  
Supports  
Baseboards and chassis’s designed for use by system integrators should include holes  
that are in proper alignment with each other to support the boxed processor. See  
Figure 8-7 for example of processor pitch and layout.  
Figure 8-1 illustrates the retention solution. This is designed to extend air-cooling  
capability through the use of larger heatsinks with minimal airflow blockage and  
minimal bypass. These retention mechanisms can allow the use of much heavier  
heatsink masses compared to legacy solution limitations by using a load path attached  
to the chassis pan. The CEK spring on the under 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 heatsink are transferred  
to the chassis pan via the heatsink screws and heatsink standoffs. This reduces the risk  
of package pullout and solder joint failures in a shock and vibe situation.  
The assembly requires larger diameter holes to compensate for the CEK spring  
embosses. See Figure 8-2 and Figure 8-3 for processor mounting thru holes. For  
further details on the solution, refer to the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100  
Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines.  
8.3  
Thermal Specifications  
This section describes the cooling requirements of the heatsink solution utilized by the  
boxed processor.  
8.3.1  
Boxed Processor Cooling Requirements  
The boxed processor will be cooled by forcing ducted chassis fan airflow through the  
passive heat sink solution. Meeting the processor’s temperature specifications is a  
function of the thermal design of the entire system, and ultimately the responsibility of  
the system integrator. The processor temperature specification is found in Section 6 of  
this document. For the boxed processor passive heatsink to operate properly, chassis  
air movement devices are required. Necessary airflow and associated flow impedance is  
29 cfm at 0.14” H2O.  
In addition, the processor pitch should be 3.25 inches, or slightly more, when placed in  
side by side orientation. Figure 8-7 illustrates the side by side orientation and pitch.  
Note that the heatsinks are interleaved to reduce air bypass.  
It is also recommended that the ambient air temperature outside of the chassis be kept  
at or below 35 °C. The air passing directly over the processor heatsink should not be  
preheated by other system components (such as another processor), and should be  
kept at or below 40 °C. Again, meeting the processor’s temperature specification is the  
responsibility of the system integrator.

Please refer to the eXtended Debug Port: Debug Port Design Guide for MP Platforms,  
and the appropriate platform design guide for more detailed information regarding  
debug tools specifications.  
9.1  
Logic Analyzer Interface (LAI)  
Intel is working with two logic analyzer vendors to provide logic analyzer interfaces  
(LAIs) for use in debugging Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100 Series processor  
systems. Tektronix and Agilent should be contacted to get 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 Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100 Series processor-  
based multiprocessor systems, the LAI is critical in providing the ability to probe and  
capture front side bus signals. There are two sets of considerations to keep in mind  
when designing a Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100 Series processor-based  
system that can make use of an LAI: mechanical and electrical.  
9.1.1  
Mechanical Considerations  
The LAI is installed between the processor socket and the processor. The LAI pins plug  
into the socket, while the processor pins plug 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 differ from the space normally occupied by the Dual-  
Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7100 Series processor heatsink. If this is the case, the  
logic analyzer vendor will provide a cooling solution as part of the LAI.  
9.1.2  
Electrical Considerations  
The LAI will also affect the electrical performance of the front side bus; 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.
