Thermal design is an important step in the total design process which must not be overlooked.
Systems or cards designed without considering the thermal environment may experience
failures. Depending on the usage of the Intel740™ graphics accelerator, the thermal solution may
change. The following table lists the design considerations which must be made.
For a comprehensive guide to thermal design, please refer to Application Note 653, Thermal
Design Considerations.This application note is provided in Appendix B of this document.
