Clearance Requirements
Your CPU comes with a heatsink mounted on top. To maintain proper
airflow once the upgrade is installed on the system board, the CPU and
heatsink require certain space clearances. The clearance above the
CPU' s fan/heatsink must be at least 0.4 inches. The clearance on at
least 3 of 4 sides of the processor and heatsink must be at least 0.2
inches. All cables (for floppy drive, hard drive, CD-ROM, etc.) must be
routed clear of the CPU and its airspace.
Fan Exhaust
The CPU must be kept cool by using a fan with heatsink. The tempera-
o
o
ture of the air entering the fan/heatsink cannot exceed 45
C (113
F).
The ambient or room temperature must be below 37
o
C (99
o
F).
