Intel has tested the following motherboard/chassis combinations for minimum thermal performance compatibility with boxed Intel® Xeon® processors and their accompanying heat solutions. This listing is not intended to be all inclusive; it only represents motherboards Intel has tested. Users of this list are reminded to check with the motherboard and chassis manufacturer to ensure that a particular motherboard or chassis model is adequate for the intended purpose.
This list has been provided as an aid to in the system integration process. Intel has deemed the server board/chassis combinations listed below, when used with their included power supply units, meet MINIMUM thermal compatibility requirements to properly support the boxed Intel® Xeon® processors and their accompanying thermal solutions. These server board/chassis combinations were tested at an ambient room temperature of 35°C with the following components installed:
- 2 Boxed Intel® Xeon® Processor 5080
- 2 Boxed Intel® thermal solutions - either 1U passive, 2U passive or active, depending on chassis form factor
- Intel® Xeon® processors based Customer Reference Board (CRB) part No. C97294-204
- Intel® reference rear air duct
- 4 or 8 DDR2 FBDIMM 667MHz with Intel® Fully DIMM Heat Sink(FDHS) Rev.003 using PCM-45F TIM depending on configuration
- 4 Western Digital* 7200rpm 36.7GB WD360GD Raptor SATA or Seagate* Cheetah 120GB 7200rpm U320 SATA, depending on boards configuration
- Integrated ATI* graphic card
- LiteOn* CD-RW 52x CD/DVD Drive
- 3.5" Floppy Drive
