Intel Corporation server boards support add-in peripherals and contain a number of high-density
Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) and power delivery components that need adequate airflow
to cool. Intel ensures through its own chassis development and testing that when Intel server
building blocks are used together, the fully integrated system will meet the intended thermal
requirements of these components. It is the responsibility of the system integrator who chooses
not to use Intel developed server building blocks to consult vendor datasheets and operating
parameters to determine the amount of airflow required for their specific application and
environmental conditions. Intel Corporation cannot be held responsible if components fail or the
server board does not operate correctly when used outside any of their published operating or
non-operating limits.

2. Overview
The Intel®Server Board S1200V3RPL, S1200V3RPS, S1200V3RPO, and S1200V3RPM are
monolithic printed circuit boards (PCBs) with features designed to support the pedestal or rack
server markets. These server boards are designed to support the Intel®Xeon®processor E3 -
1200 V3 product family. Previous generation Intel®Xeon®processors are not supported. Many
of the features and functions of these four server boards are common. A board will be identified
by name when a described feature or function is unique to it.
