Thermal Design Guide for Socket F (1207) Processors

Chapter 5 Thermal Design of Custom 2U-4P Systems

This chapter describes the motherboard component-height restrictions, thermal-solution design requirements, sample heat sinks, and attachment methods for custom 2U-4P systems based on socket F (1207) processors.

Note: These keep-outs are defined for custom rack mount equipment to optimize thermal and acoustic performance in these systems. These keep-outs are not compliant with AMD Processor-In-a-Box (PIB) thermal solutions.

5.1Motherboard Component Height Restrictions

The mounting solution for the heat sink calls for a standard motherboard keep-out region and mounting holes for the processor. Figure 8 shows an overview of the motherboard component height restrictions for custom 2U-4P systems based on the thermal solution for socket F (1207) processors.
