CAUTION
Failure to ensure appropriate airflow may result in reduced performance of both the
processor and/or voltage regulator or, in some instances, damage to the board.
All responsibility for determining the adequacy of any thermal or system design
remains solely with the reader. Intel makes no warranties or representations that
merely following the instructions presented in this document will result in a system
with adequate thermal performance.
CAUTION
Ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed the board’s maximum operating
temperature. Failure to do so could cause components to exceed their maximum case
temperature and malfunction. For information about the maximum operating
temperature, see the environmental specifications in the Intel Desktop Board Technical
Product Specification.
CAUTION
The board is designed to be passively cooled on a properly ventilated chassis. Chassis
venting locations are recommended over the processor, voltage regulator, and system
memory areas for maximum heat dissipation effectiveness.
Ensure that proper airflow is maintained around the processor, processor voltage
regulator circuit, and the DIMM. Failure to do so may result in damage to these
components.
CAUTION
A thermal rating of 85
o
C is required for the DIMMs used on this board.
