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 be available in two product
configurations. 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 Chapter 6, “Thermal Specifications”
of this document.
