Note: T56N and T40N are models enabled by AMD Turbo Core technology, up to

10% clock speed increase is planned.

3.3.1

Thermal Considerations

The operating temperature range of the BC50R depends on the system configuration
(CPU, PCIeMiniCards, Ethernet, USB, ...)

The power dissipation of the system also depends on the environmental conditions.
It has a typical power dissipation of 14.4 W in a configuration with a T48N CPU
with Windows 7 operating system and 1 Gb Ethernet connection.

The system is designed for a maximum operating temperature of +70°C(+85°C for
10 minutes). The minimum temperature is -40°C for all processors. 

As an option, a wider housing with additional cooling fins is available, enabling
permanent operation at +85°C.
