Reference Core Components Layouts

These examples are intended for reference and do not cover every detail for a specific

complete chassis design. The chassis or system designer is ultimately responsible for

defining the locations of other components such and ODD, HDD, etc. as well as

venting. Such details are normally driven by the Industrial Design and are at the

discretion of the designer.

The following examples are based on a 65W CPU system and the reference thermal

solution design described in Chapter 6. No layout guidance is provided for Intel Atom

processor based systems because they are fundamentally easier to cool and often

require only a single system blower.
