Introduction
Intel boxed processors are intended for system integrators who build systems from 
components available through distribution channels. The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® 
Processor 5300 Series will be offered as an Intel boxed processor.
Intel will offer the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series boxed processor 
with two heat sink configurations available for each processor frequency: 1U passive/
3U+ active combination solution and a 2U passive only solution. The 1U passive/3U+ 
active combination solution is based on a 1U passive heat sink with a removable fan 
that will be pre-attached at shipping. This heat sink solution is intended to be used as 
either a 1U passive heat sink, or a 3U+ active heat sink. Although the active 
combination solution with removable fan mechanically fits into a 2U keepout, its use is 
not recommended in that configuration.
The 1U passive/3U+ active combination solution in the active fan configuration is 
primarily designed to be used in a pedestal chassis where sufficient air inlet space is 
present and strong side directional airflow is not an issue. The 1U passive/3U+ active 
combination solution with the fan removed and the 2U passive thermal solution require 
the use of chassis ducting and are targeted for use in rack mount or pedestal servers. 
The retention solution used for these products is called the Common Enabling Kit, or 
CEK. The CEK base is compatible with both thermal solutions and uses the same hole 
locations as the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5100 series.
The 1U passive/3U+ active combination solution will utilize a removable fan capable of 
4-pin pulse width modulated (PWM) control. Use of a 4-pin PWM controlled active 
thermal solution helps customers meet acoustic targets in pedestal platforms through 
the motherboards’s ability to directly control the RPM of the processor heat sink fan. 
See

 for more on 
the PWM and PECI interface along with Digital Thermal Sensors (DTS).
