7/ Thermal Considerations
7.1. Available Processors
Please refer to the chapter 16/ "Technical Specifications".
The list of processors is not complete and may be extended over the product lifetime.
7.2. Convection Cooling
The KBox C-102 is designed for convection cooling within the specified ambient air temperature ranges. Therefore it is
imperative that air flow to and from the unit is guaranteed.
In addition, implementers must empirically verify the cooling concept for the KBox C-102 including optionally installed
devices prior implementing the unit in the intended application.
7.3. Active Cooling via the optional Fan Tray
For applications where convection cooling is not sufficient, there is the possibility to use the optional fan tray
(externally mounted to the KBox C-102-4/-2/-1). The optional fan tray extension allows to operate the system at
higher ambient temperature conditions and provides a higher air flow through the chassis providing a better cooling
of the system internal components.
7.4. Minimum System Clearance
To provide a maximum of airflow through and around the box, minimum distances to surrounding parts must be
observed (please refer to the subsection 8.1 "Control Cabinet Mounting" and Figure 43 to Figure 49).
7.5. Maximum Temperatures
As the Intel
processors provide only certain settings for maximal power consumption some typically are used for the
®
following table. This table can be seen as a guideline.

The maximum system ambient temperature depends mostly on the power consumption of
the processor and the chipset.
