Assembly Overview of the Intel Reference Thermal

Mechanical Design

The reference design heatsinks that meet the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400
Series thermal performance targets are called the Common Enabling Kit (CEK)
heatsinks, and are available in 1U, 2U, & 2U+ form factors. Each CEK consists of the
following components:

• Heatsink (with captive standoff and screws)
• Thermal Interface Material (TIM)
• CEK Spring

Geometric Envelope

The baseboard keepout zones on the primary and secondary sides and height
restrictions under the enabling component region are shown in detail in

Appendix B

.

The overall volumetric keep in zone encapsulates the processor, socket, and the entire
thermal/mechanical enabling solution.
