Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series Datasheet
Notes:
1.
Individual processors operate only at or below the frequency marked on the package.
2.
Listed frequencies are not necessarily committed production frequencies.
3.
For valid processor core frequencies, refer to the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series
Specification Update.
4.
The lowest bus ratio supported is 1/6.
2.4.1
Front Side Bus Frequency Select Signals (BSEL[2:0])
Upon power up, the FSB frequency is set to the maximum supported by the individual
processor. BSEL[2:0] are CMOS outputs which must be pulled up to V
TT
, and are used
to select the FSB frequency. Please refer to
Table 2-17
for DC specifications.
Table 2-2
defines the possible combinations of the signals and the frequency associated with each
combination. The frequency is determined by the processor(s), chipset, and clock
synthesizer. All FSB agents must operate at the same core and FSB frequency. See the
appropriate platform design guidelines for further details.
