2.2.4 Thermal Solution
Important notice:
1. Please Note - the heat-spreader shipped with Advantech’s SOM product is not a
"COMPLETE" thermal solution. The function of this heat-spreader is for con-
ducting heat from SOM module to the customer's own heat-sink or cooler which
is added onto this heat-spreader.
2. An extra-efficient heat-sink or cooler is required to add onto this heat-spreader
to ensure the SOM module can work appropriately.
3. An inefficient heat-sink or cooler may damage the SOM module. This kind of
damage will invalidate the product warranty.
4. Advantech is able to provide optional heat-sinks or coolers for the SOM module,
please contact your sales representative for details.
5. Please make sure the heat spreader temperature for the CPU module stays
under 60° C.
