2.2.1 Processor Support
Intel
®
boards that use the Intel
®
5000 MCH support one or two Intel
®
Xeon
®
5000 sequence
processors that utilize a 667, 1066, or 1333 MHz system bus with frequencies starting at 3.67
GHz. Previous generations of the Intel
®
Xeon
®
processors are not supported on these boards.
2.2.2 Processor Population Rules
When two processors are installed, both must be of identical revision, core voltage, and
bus/core speed. When only one processor is installed, it must be in the socket labeled CPU1.
The other socket must be empty.
Processors must be populated in sequential order. Processor socket 1 (CPU1) must be
populated before processor socket 2 (CPU2). No terminator is required in the second processor
socket when using a single processor configuration.
The board is designed to provide up to 130 A of current per processor. Processors with higher
current requirements are not supported.
2.2.3 Processor EVRD
EVRD11.0, Enterprise Voltage Regulator Down, is a DC-to-DC converter that meets the
processor power requirements server platform. Processors supported by this VR are: Intel
®
5000 sequence processors and future processor technologies
EVRD11.0 incorporates functional changes from prior EVRD design guidelines.
2.2.4 GTL2007
The GTL2007 is a customized translator between dual Intel
®
Xeon
®
5000 sequence processors,
system health management, Intel
®
631xESB / 632xESB I/O Controller Hub, and power supply
LVTTL and GTL signals. The GTL2007 is a 12-bit translator to interface between the 3.3-V
LVTTL chipset I/O and the Dual-Core Intel
®
Xeon
®
5000 processor sequence processor GTL- /
GTL / GTL+ I/O. The device is designed for platform health management in dual-processor
applications.
2.2.5 Common Enabling Kit (CEK) Design Support
The Intel
®
board complies with the Intel
®
Common Enabling Kit (CEK) processor mounting and
thermal solution. The server board ships from Intel’s factory with a CEK spring snapped onto the
underside of the board beneath each processor socket. The CEK spring is removable to allow
the use of non-Intel heat sink retention solutions.
