Thermal Considerations
The Intel
®
EP80579 Development Board is included with a heatsink thermal solution
that is to be installed on the EP80579 Processor. This thermal solution has been tested
in an open air environment at room temperature and is sufficient for evaluation
purposes. The THERMTRIP# and PROCHOT# signals are connected to LEDs on the
Intel
®
EP80579 Development Board. Pre-boot Firmware on the Intel
®
EP80579
Development Board will enable thermal throttling at 50% duty cycle when PROCHOT#
is activated, and the processor will shut down automatically if THERMTRIP# is
activated.
Warning:
There is NO thermal protection circuitry implemented on the Intel
®
EP80579
Development Board. The system designer must ensure that adequate thermal
management or thermal protection circuitry are provided for any customer-derived
designs.
