2.2.1 Low Voltage Intel® Xeon™ Processor

The MPCBL0010 SBC supports a single Low Voltage Intel® Xeon™ processor. This LV

Xeon processor with 800 MHz system bus is designed for high-performance. Based on

the Intel® NetBurst™ microarchitecture and Hyper-Threading Technology† (HT

Technology), it is binary-compatible with previous Intel® Architecture (IA-32)

processors.

Low Voltage Xeon processors require their package case temperatures to be operated

below an absolute maximum specification. If the chassis ambient temperature exceeds

a level whereby the processor thermal cooling subsystem can no longer maintain the

specified case temperature, the processor will automatically enter a mode called

Thermal Monitor to reduce its case temperature. Thermal Monitor controls the

processor temperature by modulating the internal processor core clocks and reducing

internal power dissipation and it does not require any interaction by the operating

system or application. Once the case temperature has reached a safe operating level,

the processor will return to its non-modulated operating frequency.

See the Low Voltage Xeon processor datasheet, referenced in AppendixA, “Reference

Documents”, for further details.
