MXE-210 Series 182.40 2.9 Cooling Considerations Heat-generating components of the MXE-210 (such as CPU and PCH) are all situated on the left side of the system. These compo- nents directly contact the heat sink via thermal pads and dissipate heat generated by the components. To maximize efficiency of heat dissipation, maintain a minimum of 2 inches (5cm) clearance on the top of the MXE-210.
