2.11.4 Power Supply Considerations
CAUTION
The +5 V standby line for the power supply must be capable of providing adequate +5 V standby
current. Failure to do so can damage the power supply. The total amount of standby current
required depends on the wake devices supported and manufacturing options.
System integrators should refer to the power usage values listed in Table 35 when selecting a power
supply for use with the board. Additional power required will depend on configurations chosen by
the integrator.
2.12 Thermal Considerations
CAUTION
A chassis with a maximum internal ambient temperature of 38
requirement. Failure to provide this could result could result in damage to the board.
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 Section 2.14.
CAUTION
Ensure that proper airflow is maintained in the processor voltage regulator circuit. Failure to do
so may result in damage to the voltage regulator circuit.
