Processor Mezzanine Board

The base configuration of an OCPRF100 MP server system consists of a single processor mez-

zanine board. The processor mezzanine board is designed to support one to four Pentium

Xeon™ processors, providing power, ground and other connections to the processor(s) and to
the Profusion carrier. The processor mezzanine board incorporates integrated voltage regulator
modules (VRMs) to supply the internal voltage requirements to the processor cartridge.

Processor Retention Mechanism

The processors and termination cards are secured in their respective slots by means of the pro-
cessor retention mechanism. The processor retention mechanism holds up to eight processors
or termination cards. In the event the server is populated with only a single processor mezzanine
card, the processor retention mechanism will be populated with a total of four contiguous proces-
sors and/or terminators.
