  • Intel® Xeon® Processor 3000 Series Thermal and Mechanical Design Guidelines

    The objective of thermal management is to ensure that the temperatures of all components in a system are maintained within their functional temperature range. Operation outside the functional temperature range can degrade system performance, cause logic errors or cause component and/or system damage. Temperatures exceeding the maximum operating limit of a component may result in irreversible changes in the operating characteristics of this component.
