9. Design and Environmental Specifications

The operation of the server board at conditions beyond those shown in the following table may

cause permanent damage to the system. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for

extended periods may affect system reliability.

1 Chassis design must provide proper airflow to avoid exceeding the Intel® Xeon® processor maximum case

temperature.

Disclaimer Note: Intel Corporation server boards contain a number of high-density VLSI and

power delivery components that need adequate airflow to cool. Intel ensures through its own

chassis development and testing that when Intel server building blocks are used together, the

fully integrated system will meet the intended thermal requirements of these components. It is

the responsibility of the system integrator who chooses not to use Intel developed server

building blocks to consult vendor datasheets and operating parameters to determine the amount

of airflow required for their specific application and environmental conditions. Intel Corporation

cannot be held responsible, if components fail or the server board does not operate correctly

when used outside any of their published operating or non-operating limits.

This section provides results of MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) testing done by a third

party testing facility. MTBF is a standard measure for the reliability and performance of the

board under extreme working conditions. The MTBF was measured at 20000 hours at 35

degrees Celsius.

The following table shows the MTBF for the server boards as configured from the factory;
