Thermal Considerations; Localized High Temperature Zones - Intel D815EEA2 Technical Product Specification

Intel Desktop Board D815EEA2/D815EPEA2 Technical Product Specification

2.12 Thermal Considerations

CAUTION
An ambient temperature that exceeds the board's maximum operating temperature by 10
cause components to exceed their maximum case temperature and malfunction. For information
about the maximum operating temperature, see the environmental specifications in Section 2.14.
CAUTION
The processor voltage regulator area (item A in Figure 25) can reach a temperature of up to 85
in an open chassis. System integrators should ensure that proper airflow is maintained in the
voltage regulator circuit. Failure to do so may result in damage to the voltage regulator circuit.
Figure 25 shows the locations of the localized high temperature zones for the D815EEA2 and
D815EPEA2 boards.
