ONSIDERATIONS
Trenton has performed many hours of thermal testing on the motherboard under a variety of simulated
system conditions using different processor options. The system design using the NTM6900 or WTM7026
should provide a chassis airflow of 350LFM over the motherboard. The steady state operating temperature
range specification for the Trenton NTM6900 motherboard is 0° C to 50° C (32° F to 122° F).
Trenton’s thermal testing methodology is engineering driven, verifiable and conservative in order to ensure
long-lasting and reliable system operations under varying environmental conditions. We have validated
proper board operation with typical temperature excursions 10% above the motherboard’s stated maximum
operating temperature. Operating temperature excursions below 0° C have also been verified in Trenton’s
labs. The amount and duration of these extended temperature excursions are application dependent.
Contact Trenton to discuss your specific system’s environmental parameters should you need to exceed our
published operating temperature range specification.
