9 Boxed Processor Specifications
9.1
Introduction
The 64-bit Intel^® Xeon™ processor MP with up to 8MB L3 cache processor may also be offered as
an Intel boxed processor. Intel boxed processors are intended for system integrators who build
systems from components available through distribution channels. The boxed thermal solution is
still under development and subject to change. This section is meant to provide some insight into
the current direction of the thermal solution. Future revisions may have solutions that differ from
those discussed here.
The current thermal solution plan for the boxed 64-bit Intel^® Xeon™ processor MP with up to
8MB L3 cache processor is to include an unattached passive heatsink. This solution is currently
targeted at chassis which are 3U and above in height.
This section documents baseboard and platform requirements for the thermal solution, supplied
with the boxed 64-bit Intel^® Xeon™ processor MP with up to 8MB L3 cache processor. This
section is particularly important to companies that design and manufacture baseboards, chassis and
complete systems. Figure 9-1 shows the conceptual drawing of the boxed processor thermal
solution.
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 platform and chassis.
