Boxed Processor Specifications
66 Thermal/Mechanical Specifications and Design Guidelines
10.2 Mechanical Specifications
10.2.1 Boxed Processor Cooling Solution Dimensions
This section documents the mechanical specifications of the boxed processor. The
boxed processor will be shipped with an unattached fan heatsink. Figure 10-1 shows a
boxed processor fan heatsink.
Clearance is required around the fan heatsink to ensure unimpeded airflow for proper
cooling. The physical space requirements and dimensions for the boxed processor with
assembled fan heatsink are shown in Figure 10-2 (side view), and Figure 10-3 (top
view). The airspace requirements for the boxed processor fan heatsink must also be
incorporated into new baseboard and system designs. Airspace requirements are
shown in Figure 10-7 and Figure 10-8. Note that some figures have centerlines shown
(marked with alphabetic designations) to clarify relative dimensioning.
