Introduction

This Design Guide provides motherboard implementation recommendations for a
platform based on the Intel
X1000 Platform Design Guide has been developed to ensure maximum flexibility for
board designers while reducing the risk of board related issues. Design
recommendations are based on Intel's simulations and lab experience and are strongly
recommended, if not necessary, to meet the timing and signal quality specifications.
Design recommendations are based on the reference platforms designed by Intel. They
should be used as an example but may not be applicable to particular designs.
The guidelines recommended in this document are based on experience, simulation,
and preliminary validation work done at Intel while developing the Intel
X1000-based platform. This work is ongoing, and these recommendations are subject
to change. Metric units are used in some sections in addition to the standard use of
U.S. customary system of units (USCS). If there is a discrepancy between the metric
and USCS units, assume the USCS unit is most accurate. The conversion factor used is
1 inch (1000 mils) = 25.4 mm.
