Thermal Calibration and Controls

It is recommended that full and routine calibration of temperature measurement

equipment be performed before attempting to perform case temperature

measurements. Intel recommends checking the meter probe set against known

standards. This should be done at 0 ºC (using ice bath or other stable temperature

source) and at an elevated temperature, around 80 ºC (using an appropriate

temperature source).

Wire gauge and length also should be considered as some less expensive

measurement systems are heavily impacted by impedance. There are numerous

resources available throughout the industry to assist with implementation of proper

controls for thermal measurements.

NOTES:

1. It is recommended to follow company standard procedures and wear safety

items like glasses for cutting the IHS and gloves for chemical handling.

2. Ask your Intel field sales representative if you need assistance to groove

and/or install a thermocouple according to the reference process.

D.4

Cut a groove in the package IHS according to the drawing given in Figure 32.
