Intel server boards contain a number of high-density VLSI and power delivery components that need adequate

airflow for cooling. 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

can not 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.
