1U Thermal Solution

91U Thermal Solution

Note: The thermal mechanical solution information shown in this document represents the current state of the data and may be subject to modification.The information represents design targets, not commitments by Intel.

This section describes the overall requirements for enabled thermal solutions designed to cool the Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1200 product family including critical to function dimensions, operating environment and validation criteria in 1U server system. Intel has developed two different collaboration/reference 1U thermal solutions to meet the cooling needs in this document.

9.1Performance Targets

Table 9-1provides boundary conditions and performance targets for a 1U heatsink to cool processor in 1U server. These values are used to provide guidance for heatsink design.

Notes:

1.The values in Table 9-1are from preliminary design review.

2.Max target (mean + 3 sigma) for thermal characterization parameter.

3.Airflow through the heatsink fins with zero bypass.

4.Max target for pressure drop (dP) measured in inches H2O.
