NI 9695 sbRIO Thermal Solution
The gap pad has clear liners on both sides that must be removed. The
individual pieces of gap pad should be removed from the liners and applied
to the heat spreader prior to assembling the heat spreader to sbRIO. When
applying the gap pad pieces to the heat spreader, the pink side of the gap
pad is to be placed on the heat spreader's raised protrusions, which will
align with sbRIO’s components when fully assembled.
