2.2.1Low 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 Appendix A, “Reference Documents”, for further details.

2.2.2Chipset

The MPCBL0010 SBC uses the Intel® E7520 chipset, which consists of the following major components:

Intel® E7520 Memory Controller Hub (MCH)

Intel® 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub (ICH)

Intel NetStructure® MPCBL0010 Single Board Computer
