VRM CLEARANCE AND AIRSPACE REQUIREMENTS
Refer to Figure 17-6 for a drawing of the various clearance and airspace requirements of the
OverDrive VRM. Nothing must intrude into the space envelope, including airspace region, de-
fined in Figure 17-6 with the exception of Header 8 itself.
17.6.5.
Functional Criteria
The OverDrive processor is intended to replace the original Pentium Pro processor. The system
must boot properly without error messages when the OverDrive processor is installed.
17.6.5.1.
SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY
System hardware and software that operates properly with the original Pentium Pro processor
must operate properly with the OverDrive processor.
17.6.5.2.
BIOS FUNCTIONALITY
The BIOS must continue to operate correctly with the OverDrive processor installed in the sys-
tem. Always use the CPU Signature and Feature flags to identify if an OverDrive processor is
installed. Please refer to the Pentium
®
Pro Processor Developer’s Manual: Volume 3, Program-
mer’s Reference Manual (Order Number 242691) for the BIOS recommendations.
