Quick Start
The following sections explain how to install the MAGNUM ETX Single Board PC.
First ensure that you are familiar with the contents of the section "Precautions". It contains important
information to avoid damage to the board.
If choosing your own cooling solution, then check the CPU application notes from the VIA website. This is to
ensure that your solution is capable of cooling the processor throughout the desired operating temperature range.
Note that the upper operating limit of 60°C is for the board operation in free air, which would equate to the air
temperature inside an enclosure with the lid closed. It is important to ensure that the operating temper inside the
system unit in the vicinity of the processor board does not exceed the 60°C limit.
Some higher powered CPU options may have a lower operating limit than 60°C, so refer to individual
datasheets for precise operating conditions
