2.12 Thermal Considerations
CAUTION
An ambient temperature that exceeds the board’s maximum operating temperature by 10
o
C could
cause components to exceed their maximum case temperature and malfunction. For information
about the maximum operating temperature, see the environmental specifications in Section 2.14.
CAUTION
The processor voltage regulator area (item A in Figure 25) can reach a temperature of up to 85
o
C
in an open chassis. System integrators should ensure that proper airflow is maintained in the
voltage regulator circuit. Failure to do so may result in damage to the voltage regulator circuit.
Figure 25 shows the locations of the localized high temperature zones for the D815EEA2 and
D815EPEA2 boards.
