Quality and Reliability Requirements
82 Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide
Note: In the case of a discrepancy, information in the most recent LGA771 Socket Mechanical Design
Guidelines supersedes that in the Table D-1 above.
D.1.2.2 Recommended Test Sequence
Each test sequence should start with components (that is, baseboard,
heatsink assembly, and so forth) that have not been previously submitted to any
reliability testing.
The test sequence should always start with a visual inspection after assembly, and
BIOS/Processor/memory test. The stress test should be then followed by a visual
inspection and then BIOS/Processor/memory test.
D.1.2.3 Post-Test Pass Criteria
The post-test pass criteria are:
1. No significant physical damage to the heatsink and retention hardware.
