To ensure functionality at the max- imum temperature, the BIOS and the Module Management Controller support several temperature monitoring and control features.

    AM4011 System Airflow The AM4011 is equipped with a specifically designed heat sink to ensure the best possible ba- sis for operational stability and long-term reliability. Coupled together with system chassis, which provide variable configurations for forced airflow, controlled active thermal energy dissi- pation is guaranteed.

    6.2.2 Airflow Impedance In order to determine the cooling requirements of the AM4011, the airflow impedance of a Mid- size and a Full-size AM4011 module has been determined via simulation. No card guides or struts have been used for the simulations because the resulting airflow impedance depends on individual configuration of the AMC carrier or MicroTCA system.
