Preface 

 

„

 

Fix your SBC in System 

Caution : Suggest your S.I or vendor to use a metal bracket to hold/fix the desktop 

or server grade SBC to avoid the vibration damage during transportation. 

Heavy processor cooler may bend the SBC when systems are during 

transportation without any holder.   

 

 

        Example: 

z

 

4U chassis : 

 

Î

 Use L type mental or plastic or rubber bracket to hold SBC. 

 

 

 

z

 

2U or 1U chassis: a mental bracket on the bottom of chassis to balance and 
support SBC from bending.
