Environmental Requirements; Module Operational Temperature And Humidity Specifications - Entrust nShield nToken v12.40 Installation Manual

Environmental requirements

When you install the module, ensure that there is good air flow around it. To maximize air flow, use a
PCIe slot with no neighboring modules if possible. If air flow is limited, consider fitting extra cooling
fans to your computer case.
Failure to provide adequate cooling can result in damage to the module or the computer into
which the module is fitted.
Always handle the module correctly. For more information, see
