Temperature and Cooling
Power Core is equipped with temperature-controlled fans for minimum noise emission. Ventilation holes are
provided on the left and right. There must be sufficient airflow around the device for cooling.
DO NOT
obstruct the side ventilation holes as to do so will prevent efficient cooling.
The current temperature of the device's internal components can be checked on the front panel
. The
recommended tolerances can be found in the
for the Power Core main frame. In particular, the
temperature of the FPGA chip must NOT exceed 85° C.
