The boxed processor's fanheat sink requires a constant +12 V supplied to pin 2 and 

does not support variable voltage control or 3-pin PWM control. 

The power header on the baseboard must be positioned to allow the fan heatsink power 

cable to reach it. The power header identification and location should be documented in 

the platform documentation, or on the system board itself. 

 shows the 

location of the fan power connector relative to the processor socket. The baseboard 

power header should be positioned within 110 mm [4.33 inches] from the center of the 

processor socket.
