2.12 Thermal Considerations
CAUTION
An ambient temperature that exceeds the board’s maximum operating temperature by 5
o
C to 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 16) 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 16 shows the locations of the localized high temperature zones.
