Temperature and Power Considerations
Temperature Ranges
The values in the following table are ambient temperatures inside the computer case. The board
temperatures reflect the 80486 CPU Heat dissipation requirements because it is the hottest component.
Temperature specifications vary with the CPU frequency.
Humidity
The recommended humidity range for operation of the American Megatrends Enterprise-III EISA VL-Bus
motherboard is 20% to 80% non-condensing.
