The power header on the baseboard must be positioned to allow the fan heatsink power 
cable to reach it. The power header identification and location should be documented in 
the platform documentation, or on the system board itself. Figure 22 shows the 
location of the fan power connector relative to the processor socket. The baseboard 
power header should be positioned within 4.33 inches from the center of the processor 
socket.
NOTES:
1. Baseboard should pull this pin up to 5 V with a resistor.
2. Open Drain Type, Pulse Width Modulated.
3. Fan will have a pull-up resistor to 4.75 V, maximum is 5.25 V.
