Balanced Technology Extended
(BTX) Boxed Processor
Specifications
The Intel Pentium 4 processors will be offered as an Intel boxed processor. Intel boxed
processors are intended for system integrators who build systems from largely
standard components. The boxed Intel Pentium 4 processor will be supplied with a
cooling solution known as the Thermal Module Assembly (TMA). Each processor will be
supplied with one of the two available types of TMAs – Type I or Type II. This chapter
documents motherboard and system requirements for both the TMAs that will be
supplied with the boxed Pentium 4 processor in the 775-land package. This chapter is
particularly important for OEMs that manufacture motherboards for system integrators.
Figure 25 shows a mechanical representation of a boxed Pentium 4 processor in the
775-land package with a Type I TMA. Figure 26 illustrates a mechanical representation
of a boxed Pentium 4 processor in the 775-land package with Type II TMA.

Note:
Unless otherwise noted, all figures in this chapter are dimensioned in millimeters and
inches [in brackets].
Drawings in this section reflect only the specifications on the Intel boxed processor
product. These dimensions should not be used as a generic keep-out zone for all
cooling solutions. It is the system designer’s responsibility to consider their proprietary
cooling solution when designing to the required keep-out zone on their system
platforms and chassis. Refer to the appropriate processor Thermal and Mechanical
Design Guidelines (see Section 1.2) for further guidance.

the basic shape and size will remain the same.
