available on request.
Intel Corporation server boards contain a number of high-density VLSI and power delivery components that need
adequate airflow to cool. Intel’s own chassis are designed and tested to meet the intended thermal requirements of
these components when the fully integrated system is used together. It is the responsibility of the system integrator
that 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.
