2.1.1 Provide Adequate Cooling
2.1.2 Configure Power
It may be necessary to configure the power settings for the operating system in use,
to configure the Power Button feature, and to either provide for, or avoid, the proces-
sor going into sleep mode. In either case, the user should check these settings to
determine if they are correct for the use intended. Themis recommends the follow-
ing settings.
2.1.2.1 Power Button
A Power Button feature provides for reboot/shutdown without removing all power
from the system. To configure this feature in Windows 7, find the Power Options
selection in Control Panel.
Caution: This product, physically small in form, has a very small surface area,
making it difficult to dissipate the heat generated when in operation for some mod-
els, without using a heat sink. Operating the NanoPAK
®
without adequate cooling
could result in exceeding temperature specifications, which may result in compo-
nent failure. The many different configurations and applications for our product
make it impracticable to supply one standard heat dissipating solution. The heat dis-
sipation method employed should suit the intended application. When operating in
temporary installations, such as a testing setup in a lab, avoid operation for more
than a few minutes without a heat sink attached. For a suggested testing setup, see
Appendix B, "Accessory Equipment".
