Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide 13 LGA1366 Socket 2 LGA1366 Socket This chapter describes a surface mount, L G A (Land Grid Array) socket intended for processors in the Intel® X eon® 5500 Platfo rm. The socket provides I/O, power and ground contacts.
LGA1366 Socket 14 Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide Figure 2-2. LGA1366 Socket C ontact Numbering (Top View of Socket) 31 29 27 25 23 21 19 17 15 13 11 9 7 5 32 30 28 26 24 22 20 18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 BA.
Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide 15 LGA1366 Socket 2.1 Board Layout The land pattern for the LGA1366 socket is 40 m ils X 40 mils (X by Y), and the pad size is 18 mils. Note that there is no round- off (conversion) error between socket pitch (1.016 mm) and board pitch (40 mil) as these values are equivalent.
LGA1366 Socket 16 Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide 2.2 Attachment to Motherboard The socket is attached to the motherboard by 1366 solder balls. There are no additional external methods (that is, screw , extra solder , adhesive, and so on) to attach the socket.
Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide 17 LGA1366 Socket The co-planarity (prof ile) and true position requirements are defined in Appendix C . 2.3.3 Contacts Base material for the contacts is high strength copper allo y . For the area o n socket contacts where processor lands will mate, there is a 0.
LGA1366 Socket 18 Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide 2.4 Package Installation / Removal As indicated in Figure 2-6 , access is provided to facilitate manual installation and removal of the package.
Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide 19 LGA1366 Socket 2.5 Durability The socket must withstand 30 cycles of processor insertion and remov al. The max chain contact resistance from Ta b l e 4 - 4 must be met when mated in the 1st and 30th cycles. The socket Pick and Place cover must withstand 15 cycles of insertion and remov al.
LGA1366 Socket 20 Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide 2.9 LGA1366 Socket NCTF Solder Joints Intel has defined selected solder joints of th e sock et as non-critical to function (NCTF) for post environmental testing.
Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide 21 Independent Loading Mechanism (ILM ) 3 Independent Loading Mechanism (ILM) The Independent Loading Mechanism (ILM) pr ovides the force needed to se at the 1366-LGA land package onto the socket contacts. The ILM is physically separ ate from the socket body .
Independ ent Loading Mechan ism (ILM) 22 Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide 3.1.2 ILM Back Plate Design Overview The unified back plate for 2-socket server and 2-socket W orkstation products consists of a flat steel back plate with threaded st uds for ILM attach, and internally threaded nuts for heatsink attach.
Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide 23 Independent Loading Mechanism (ILM ) 3.2 Assembly of ILM to a Motherboard The ILM design allows a bottoms up assemb ly of the components to the board. In step 1, (see Figure 3 -3 ), the back plate is placed in a fixture.
Independ ent Loading Mechan ism (ILM) 24 Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide . Figure 3-3. ILM Assembly Step 1: W i th so cket bo dy reflow ed on board, and back plate in f ixt ure, align board hol es to back plate studs. Step 2: With back plat e against bottom of board, ali gn ILM cover assem bly to back plate studs.
Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide 25 Independent Loading Mechanism (ILM ) As indicated in Figure 3-4 , socket protrusion and ILM key features prev ent 180-degree rotation of ILM cover assembly with respect to the socket. The result is a specific Pin 1 orientation with respect to the ILM lever .

Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide 31 Thermal Solutions 5 Thermal Solutions This section describes a 1U reference heatsink, design targets for 2U and T ower heatsinks, performance expectations for a 25.5 mm tall heatsink, and thermal design guidelines for Intel® Xeon® Processor 5 500 Series and the follow-on processors.
Thermal Solutions 32 Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide For 1U reference heatsink, see Ap pendix B for detailed drawings. Ta b l e 5 - 1 specifie s Ψ CA and pressure drop targets at 9.7 CFM. Figure 5-1 shows Ψ CA and pressure drop for the 1U heatsink versus the airflow provided.
Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide 33 Thermal Solutions 5.1.1 25.5 mm Tall Heatsink For the 25.5 mm tall heatsink, Ta b l e 5 - 2 provides guidance regarding performance expectations. Th ese v alues are not used to gener ate processor thermal specifications.
Thermal Solutions 34 Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide 5.2 Heat Pipe Considerations Figure 5-2 shows the orientation and position of the T TV die. The TTV die is sized and positioned similarly to the processor die.
Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide 35 Thermal Solutions 5.3 Assembly The assembly process for the 1U reference heatsink begins with application of Honeywell PCM45F thermal interface material to improve conduction from the IHS. T ape and roll format is recommended.
Thermal Solutions 36 Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide 5.3.1 Thermal Interf ace Material (TIM) TIM should be verified to be within its recommended shelf life before use. Surfaces should be free of fore ign materials prior to application of TIM. Use isopropyl alcohol and a lint free cloth to remove old TIM before applying new TIM.
Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide 37 Thermal Solutions 5.5.2 Dual Thermal Profile Processors that offer dual thermal profile are specified in the appropriate Datasheet. Dual thermal profile helps mitigate limitations in volumetrically constr ained form factors and allows trade-offs between heatsink cost and T CC activation risk.
Thermal Solutions 38 Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide Compliance to Profile A ensures that no measurable performance loss will occur due to TCC activation. It is expected that T CC would only be activated for very brief periods of time when running a worst -case real wo rld application in a worst -case thermal condition.
Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide 39 Thermal Solutions 5.6.1 Fan Speed Control There are many wa ys to implement fan speed control. Using processor ambient temperature (in addition to Digital Thermal Sensor) to scale fan speed can improve acoustics when DTS > T CONTROL .
Thermal Solutions 40 Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide 5.6.2 PECI Averaging and Catastrophic Thermal Manag ement By aver aging D TS over PECI, thermal solution failure can be detected and a soft shutdown can be initiated to help prevent loss of data.
Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide 41 Thermal Solutions compliance by ensuring that the processor T c ase value, as measured on th e T TV , does not exceed T case_max_B at the anomalous po wer level for the en vironmental condition of interest. This anomalous power level is equal to 75% of the TDP limit.
