6.4 Environmental Considerations
6.4.1 Operating Temperature

Measured as Ambient Air Temperature. 300LFM minimum air-flow required. Designed to
meet this temperature specification. Tested under Windows 8.1 with Passmark BurnInTest
V7.1, running CPU, Memory, and 3D Graphics tests simultaneously. During application testing
The VPX6600 re3.3V and +5V from the VPX backplane. The +/- 12V
supplies are not used.
Additionally, the switch SW2 can be used to configure certain devices to use
the aux3.3V_AUX supply.
There is an optional 3.0V RTC 'coin cell' battery input voltage that is required
to keep the RTC running beyond the 80 minutes supplied by the supercap
when 3.3V is not powered. If no coin cell battery is used on the carrier this
input should remain unconnected. The allowable range for this input is 2.5 -
3.2V.
The amount of power required to properly operate the VPX6600 module will
vary depending on many variables, including the operating system,
application software, and the components that the module is integrated with.
See notes below for defined variables used to measure the following power
values:
5V:
S0 Idle
1
:
10.5W
S0 Max
2
:
55.5/72W
S0 Typ
3
:
52W
3.3V:
All Modes: 4.3W

S0 Idle was measured with module operating at 23°C ambient with 300LFM airflow,
using Windows 8.1 Operating System, idle at desktop with no active applications
running. 32GB RAM. One connected SATA device, one USB keyboard, one USB mouse,
VGA monitor.
2
S0 Max was measured with module operating at 23°C ambient with 600LFM airflow,
using Windows 8.1 Operating System. Prime95 Large FFT torture test stressing all CPU
cores at max. 32GB RAM. 1 connected SATA device, one USB keyboard, one USB
mouse, VGA monitor, DVI monitor.
Power is shown as PL1/PL2, where PL1 is the long-term power used, and PL2 is a short-
term (typically <30 sec) power draw during turbo bursts. If Turbo is not used the board
should not exceed the PL1 power, but performance may be impacted.
3
S0 Typ was measured with module operating at 23°C ambient with 300LFM airflow,
using Windows 8.1 Operating System. Passmark Burn-In test running the following
tests: CPU, Memory, 2D Graphics, 3D Graphics, Disk, and Network. 16GB RAM. 1
connected SATA device, one USB keyboard, one USB mouse, VGA monitor, DVI
monitor.
