Introduction
1.1 Terminology
A ‘#’ symbol after a signal name refers to an active low signal, indicating a signal is in
the asserted state when driven to a low level. For example, when RESET# is low, a
reset has been requested. Conversely, when NMI is high, a nonmaskable interrupt has
occurred. In the case of signals where the name does not imply an active state but
describes part of a binary sequence (such as address or data), the ‘#’ symbol implies
that the signal is inverted. For example, D[3:0] = ‘HLHL’ refers to a hex ‘A’, and
D[3:0]# = ‘LHLH’ also refers to a hex ‘A’ (H= High logic level, L= Low logic level).
Commonly used terms are explained here for clarification:
• Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series – Intel 64-bit microprocessor
intended for dual processor servers and workstations. The Quad-Core Intel®
Xeon® Processor 5300 Series is based on Intel’s 65 nanometer process, in the
FC-LGA6 package with four processor cores. For this document, “processor” is used
as the generic term for the “Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series”. The
term ‘processors’ and “Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series” are
inclusive of Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor E5300 Series, Quad-Core Intel®
Xeon® Processor X5300 Series and Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor L5300
Series.

intended for dual processor server blades and embedded servers
requiring higher
case temperatures. The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor L5318 is a lower
voltage, lower power version of the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300
Series. For this document “Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor L5318” is used to
call out specifications that are unique to the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor
L5318 SKU.
• FC-LGA6 (Flip Chip Land Grid Array) Package – The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon®
Processor 5300 Series package is a Land Grid Array, consisting of a processor core
mounted on a pinless substrate with 771 lands, and includes an integrated heat
spreader (IHS).
