Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration
1.7 Installing the CPU and Heatsink
The MIC-3392 supports Intel Core Duo/Solo and Core 2 Duo processors. Advantech
has designed a heat sink to meet the critical environmental conditions and size limita-
tions of the MIC-3392 (see figure 1.3). Advantech also provides larger heat sinks as
an option to support stricter operation environments. Application of such heat sinks
may lead to restrictions and/or unavailability of other features of the MIC3392. Con-
tact an Advantech local sales office or distributor for more information.
The MIC-3392 should be fastened to a heat sink supporting the Intel Core 2 Duo.
When the user installs the CPU, the following steps should be followed:
1. Remove the screws from the solder side cover. During this step, the front panel
should also loosen. Be careful not to damage the SBC during disassembly.
2. Remove the last four screws from the heat sink, and then loosen the heat sink
for CPU installation. Apply the silicone heat sink compound, found in the acces-
sory bag, to the CPU.
3. Follow the reverse procedure to replace the heat sink and solder side cover.

Note! If your product comes with a processor in a soldered µFCBGA package,
please add a different heat sink. You need to insert a heat pad between
the processor and the heat sink. The heat pad is provided in the acces-
sory bag. The heat pad should be positioned between the heat sink and
the CPU. The heat pad is fragile, so please be careful during disassem-
bly. If you are using a heat pad other than the one issued by Advantech,
be aware that it may not absorb a sufficient amount of heat.
