5.1.2Thermal Calibration and Controls

It is recommended that full and routine calibration of temperature measurement equipment be performed before attempting to perform temperature case measurement of the Intel 5000 Series chipset MCH. Intel recommends checking the meter probe set against known standards. This should be done at 0ºC (using ice bath or other stable temperature source) and at an elevated temperature, around 80ºC (using an appropriate temperature source).

Wire gauge and length also should be considered as some less expensive measurement systems are heavily impacted by impedance. There are numerous resources available throughout the industry to assist with implementation of proper controls for thermal measurements.

Note:

1.It is recommended to follow company standard procedures and wear safety items like glasses for cutting the IHS and gloves for chemical handling.

2.Ask your Intel field sales representative if you need assistance to groove and/or install a thermocouple according to the reference process.
