Designers must not rely on the absence or characteristics of any features or instructions marked "reserved" or "undefined." Intel reserves these for future definition and shall have no responsibility whatsoever for conflicts or incompatibilities arising from future changes to them. The Intel® Server Board S3420GP may contain design defects or errors known as errata which may cause the product to deviate from published specifications. Current characterized errata are available on request. Intel Corporation server boards contain a number of high-density VLSI and power delivery components that need adequate airflow to cool. Intel’s own chassis are designed and tested to meet the intended thermal requirements of these components when the fully integrated system is used together. It is the responsibility of the system integrator that chooses not to use Intel developed server building blocks to consult vendor datasheets and operating parameters to determine the amount of airflow required for their specific application and environmental conditions. Intel Corporation cannot be held responsible if components fail or the server board does not operate correctly when used outside any of their published operating or non-operating limits.

  • The Motherboard ‐ Chapter #5
    The Motherboard ‐ Chapter #5 Amy Hissom Key Terms Advanced Transfer Cache (ATC)— A type of L2 cache contained within the Pentium processor housing that is embedded on the same core processor die as the CPU itself. Audio/modem riser (AMR) — A specification for a small slot on a motherboard to accommodate an audio or modem riser card. A controller on the motherboard contains some of the logic for the audio or modem functionality. Back side bus — The bus between the CPU and the L2 cache inside the CPU housing. Bus speed — The speed, or frequency, at which the data on the motherboard is moving. Communication and networking riser (CNR) — A specification for a small expansion slot on a motherboard that accommodates a small audio, modem, or network riser card. CISC (complex instruction set computing) — Earlier CPU type of instruction set. Cooler — A combination cooling fan and heat sink mounted on the top or side of a processor to keep it cool. Discrete L2 cache — A type of L2 cache contained within the Pentium processor housing, but on a different die, with a cache bus between the processor and the cache. Dual-voltage CPU — A CPU that requires two different voltages, one for internal processing and the other for I/O processing. Execution Trace Cache — A type of Level 1 cache used by some CPUs to hold decoded operations waiting to be executed. Expansion bus — A bus that does not run in sync with the system clock. EPIC (explicitly parallel instruction computing) — The CPU architecture used by the Intel Itanium chip that bundles programming instructions with instructions on how to use multiprocessing abilities to do two instructions in parallel.
