The processor is also offered as an Intel boxed processor. Intel boxed processors are 

intended for system integrators who build systems from baseboards and standard 

components. The boxed processor will be supplied with a cooling solution. This chapter 

documents baseboard and system requirements for the cooling solution that will be 

supplied with the boxed processor. This chapter is particularly important for OEMs that 

manufacture baseboards for system integrators. 

 shows a mechanical 

representation of a boxed processor.

Unless otherwise noted, all figures in this chapter are dimensioned in millimeters and 

inches [in brackets]. 

Drawings in this section reflect only the specifications on the Intel boxed processor 

product. These dimensions should not be used as a generic keep-out zone for all 

cooling solutions. It is the system designers’ responsibility to consider their proprietary 

cooling solution when designing to the required keep-out zone on their system 

platforms and chassis. Refer to the appropriate Thermal and Mechanical Design 

Guidelines (see 

) for further guidance. 

 

NOTE: The airflow of the fan heatsink is into the center and out of the sides of the fan heatsink.
