Thermal rules for server with 9004 series processors

This topic provides thermal rules for the server with 9004 series processors.

Abbreviations used in tables below are defined as following:
  • TDP: Thermal Design Power

  • S/S: SAS/SATA

  • Max.Temp.: Maximum ambient temperature at sea level

  • Any: AnyBay

  • S: standard

  • P: performance

  • A: advanced

  • NA: none

  • Y: yes

  • N: no

  • DWCM: Direct Water Cooling Module

Processor groups are defined as follows:
  • Group B: 200 W ≤ TDP ≤ 240 W

  • Group A: 260 W < TDP ≤ 300 W
