The socket has the following solder ball material: • Lead free SAC (SnAgCu) solder alloy with a silver (Ag) content between 3% and 4% and a melting temperature of approximately 217 °C. The alloy must be Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2400 Product Family Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide...
2-5, a Pin1 indicator on the Pick and Place cover provides a visual reference for proper orientation with the socket. Figure 2-5. Pick and Place Cover ILM cover ILM Installation Pin 1 Pick and Place Cover Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2400 Product Family Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide...
• The socket has alignment walls at the four corners to provide final alignment of the package. Appendix D for information regarding a tool designed to provide mechanical assistance during processor installation and removal. Figure 2-6.

All markings must withstand 260 °C for 40 seconds (typical reflow/rework profile) without degrading, and must be visible after the socket is mounted on the motherboard. LGA1356 and the manufacturer's insignia are molded or laser marked on the side wall. Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2400 Product Family Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide...
LGA1356 Socket NCTF Solder Joints Intel has defined selected solder joints of the socket as non-critical to function (NCTF) for post environmental testing. The processor signals at NCTF locations are typically redundant ground or non-critical reserved, so the loss of the solder joint continuity at end of life conditions will not affect the overall product functionality.
ILM as a system. These studies directly impact the design of the ILM. The Intel reference ILM will be “build to print” from Intel controlled drawings. Intel recommends using the Intel Reference ILM. Custom non-Intel ILM designs do not benefit from Intel's detailed studies and may not incorporate critical design parameters.

3-3), the back plate is placed in a fixture. Holes in the motherboard provide alignment to the threaded studs. In step 2, the ILM assembly is placed over the socket and threaded studs. The Intel Reference Design ILM cover is not designed to nest over the Pick and Place cover. This feature helps prevent reinstallation of the Pick and Place cover, a step that can lead to socket bent contacts.

The ILM cover is designed to be interchangeable between different suppliers validated by Intel. Performance of the pop off feature may decline if the ILM cover supplier is different than the ILM supplier. The ILM cover can be removed manually if the pop off feature is not desirable, or not functional.

The power dissipated within the socket is a function of the current at the pin level and the effective pin resistance. To ensure socket long term reliability, Intel defines socket maximum temperature using a via on the underside of the motherboard. Exceeding the...
This is the minimum and maximum static force that can be applied by the heatsink and it’s retention solution to maintain the heatsink to IHS interface. This does not imply the Intel reference TIM is validated to these limits. TIM load range is documented in Section 5.2...
A simplified process flow of this methodology can be seen in Figure 4-1. Since the LGA1356 socket is very similar to the LGA1366 socket, the LGA1356 socket is expected to perform similarly and full validation for the LGA1356 socket is avoided.

Section 5.8.3 Section 5.8.6 can be ignored. As compared to cooling to Tcontrol Relief, overcooling to Tcontrol_FSC: • May increase frequency benefit from Intel TBT as defined in Section 5.6.3. • Will increase acoustics • May result in lower wall power Customers must characterize a Tcontrol_offset value for their system to meet their goals for frequency, acoustics and wall power.
, as temperature is not typically the limiter for these workloads. With Intel TBT enabled, the processor may run more consistently at higher power levels (but still within TDP), and be more likely to operate above T , as compared to CONTROL when Intel TBT is disabled.
When all cores are active, a properly sized heatsink will be able to meet the DTS based thermal specification. When all cores are not active or when Intel Turbo Boost Technology is active, attempting to comply with the DTS based thermal specification may drive system fans to maximum speed.
DTS command info is given in Section 5.6.1.1. 5.8.4 Power Calculation for the Intel® Xeon® Processor E5- 2400 Product Family To implement DTS based thermal specification, average power over time must be calculated: P = (E2 - E1) / (t2 - t1)
