Power and Cooling Considerations
Refer to the specifications for loading and power requirements. Be sure that
the system power supplies are able to accommodate the power requirements
of the carrier board, plus the installed AcroPack modules within the voltage
tolerances specified.
IMPORTANT: Adequate air circulation must be provided to prevent a temperature rise above the maximum
operating temperature.
The lack of air circulation within some CPCI-S chassis could be a cause for
some concern. The dense packing of the AcroPack modules to the carrier
board alone results in elevated module and carrier board temperatures, and
the restricted air flow within the chassis aggravates this problem. Adequate
air circulation must be provided to prevent a temperature rise above the
maximum operating temperature and to prolong the life of the electronics. If
the installation is in an industrial environment and the board is exposed to
environmental air, careful consideration should be given to air-filtering.
