Boxed Processor Specifications
The fan power header on the baseboard must be positioned to allow the fan heat sink
power cable to reach it. The fan power header identification and location must be
documented in the suppliers platform documentation, or on the baseboard itself. The
baseboard fan power header should be positioned within 177.8 mm [7 in.] from the
center of the processor socket.

Boxed Processor Cooling Requirements
As previously stated the boxed processor will have three cooling solutions available.
Each configuration will require unique design considerations. Meeting the processor’s
temperature specifications is also the function of the thermal design of the entire
system, and ultimately the responsibility of the system integrator. The processor
temperature specifications are found in
