The boxed processor TMA requires an SRM assembly provided by the chassis 

manufacturer. The SRM provides the attach points for the TMA and provides structural 

support for the board by distributing the shock and vibration loads to the chassis base 

pan. The boxed processor TMA will ship with the heatsink attach clip assembly, duct 

and screws for attachment. The SRM must be supplied by the chassis hardware vendor. 

See the Support and Retention Module(SRM) External Design Requirements Document, 

Balanced Technology Extended (BTX) System Design Guide, and the appropriate 

Thermal and Mechanical Design Guidelines (see 

) for more detailed 

information regarding the support and retention module and chassis interface and 

keepout zones.
