2.6.2 Operating Temperature and Temperature Control
The maximum and minimum operating temperatures for the ICE-945GSE are listed below.
Minimum Operating Temperature: 0ºC (32°F)
Maximum Operating Temperature: 60°C (140°F)
A cooling fan and heat sink must be installed on the CPU. Thermal paste must be
smeared on the lower side of the heat sink before it is mounted on the CPU. Heat sinks
are also mounted on the Northbridge and Southbridge chipsets to ensure the operating
temperature of these chips remain low.
WARNING:
Never run the embedded module without the heat sink. The
heatspreader plate shipped with the ICE-945GSE acts as a thermal
interface between the module and the heat sink. The heat sink must be
installed on the heatspreader plate to maintain proper operating
temperatures. Make sure to maintain the heatspreader plate
temperature under 60
°C in operation.
