Introduction
• Retention mechanism (RM)—Since the LGA775 socket does not include any mechanical
features for heatsink attach, a retention mechanism is required. Component thermal solutions
should attach to the processor via a retention mechanism that is independent of the socket.
• Storage conditions—Refers to a non-operational state. The processor may be installed in a
platform, in a tray, or loose. Processors may be sealed in packaging or exposed to free air.
Under these conditions, processor lands should not be connected to any supply voltages, have
any I/Os biased, or receive any clocks. Upon exposure to “free air” (i.e., unsealed packaging or
a device removed from packaging material) the processor must be handled in accordance with
moisture sensitivity labeling (MSL) as indicated on the packaging material.
• Functional operation—Refers to normal operating conditions in which all processor
specifications, including DC, AC, system bus, signal quality, mechanical and thermal, are
satisfied.
