Boxed Processor Specifications
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. Figure 22 shows the
location of the fan power connector relative to the processor socket. The baseboard
power header should be positioned within 4.33 inches from the center of the processor
socket.
