Server processors can often reach very high TDP values (thermal design power), which is why the choice of an appropriate cooler is an important parameter. It helps remove hot air from the surface of the processor and prevents overheating. Exceeding optimal temperatures could lead to a shutdown of the server.

Coolers are precisely manufactured and tested by Supermicro and are certified for certain processor sockets. It's also important to consider the chassis you're going to place the cooler into, as different server sizes can be incompatible with different coolers.
