Preface
This document is an update to the specifications contained in the Intel® Modular Server System
MFSYS25/MFSYS35 Technical Product Specification and the Intel® Compute Module
MFS5000SI Technical Product Specification. It is intended for hardware system manufacturers
and software developers of applications, operating systems, or tools. It will contain specification
changes, specification clarifications, errata, and document changes.
Refer to the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series and Intel® Xeon® Processor 5200 Series and
Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series and Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series Specification
Update for specification updates on processors. Items contained in the Intel® Xeon® Processor
5100 Series and Intel® Xeon® Processor 5200 Series and Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series
and Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series Specification Update and Intel® Xeon® Processor
5500 Series Specification Update and Intel® Xeon® Processor 5600 Series Specification
Update that either do not apply to the product or have been worked around are noted in this
document. Otherwise, it should be assumed that any processor errata for a given stepping are
applicable to the Printed Board Assembly (PBA) revisions(s) associated with that stepping.
This documentation communicates the following types of changes:
Specification Changes are modifications to the current published specifications for
Intel®server boards. These changes will be incorporated in the next release of the
specifications. Specification changes include typos, errors, or omissions from the current
published specifications. These changes will be incorporated in the next release of the
documents.
Specification Clarifications describe a specification in greater detail or further highlight
a specification’s impact to a complex design situation. These clarifications will be
incorporated in the next release of the documents.
Errata are design defects or errors. Errata may cause the server board behavior to
deviate from published specifications. Hardware and software designed to be used with
any given processor stepping must assume that all errata documented for that processor
stepping are present on all devices.
