Package Mechanical and Storage Specifications
2.1.3
Package Loading Specifications
 provides dynamic and static load specifications for the processor package. 
These mechanical maximum load limits should not be exceeded during heatsink 
assembly, shipping conditions, or standard use condition. Also, any mechanical system 
or component testing should not exceed the maximum limits. The processor package 
substrate should not be used as a mechanical reference or load-bearing surface for 
thermal and mechanical solution.
.
Notes:
1.
These specifications apply to uniform compressive loading in a direction normal to the processor IHS.
2.
This is the maximum static force that can be applied by the heatsink and retention solution to maintain the 
heatsink and processor interface.
3.
These specifications are based on limited testing for design characterization. Loading limits are for the 
package only and do not include the limits of the processor socket.
4.
Dynamic loading is defined as an 50g shock load, 2X Dynamic Acceleration Factor with a 500g maximum 
thermal solution.
2.1.4
Package Handling Guidelines
 includes a list of guidelines on package handling in terms of recommended 
maximum loading on the processor IHS relative to a fixed substrate. These package 
handling loads may be experienced during heatsink removal.
Notes:
1.
A shear load is defined as a load applied to the IHS in a direction parallel to the IHS top surface.
2.
A tensile load is defined as a pulling load applied to the IHS in a direction normal to the IHS surface.
3.
A torque load is defined as a twisting load applied to the IHS in an axis of rotation normal to the IHS top 
surface.
4.
These guidelines are based on limited testing for design characterization.
2.1.5
Package Insertion Specifications
The processor can be inserted into and removed from an LGA1156 socket 15 times. The 
socket should meet the LGA1156 socket requirements detailed in 
2.1.6
Processor Mass Specification
The typical mass of the processor is 21.5g (0.76 oz). This mass [weight] includes all 
the components that are included in the package.
