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.
5.1 Motherboard 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.
