Cooling Installation
Assembly Instruction:
•
Flip over the SBC and locate the position of the CPU
•
Place retention frame on the bottom side of the board with insulating foil facing the PCB & standoffs inserted to mounting holes in PCB.
•
Remove the protection pull tab foil from the phase changer and carefully place the cooling solution.
•
Insert assembling screws.
•
Slightly tighten each of the screws so that they hold the cooling solution in place. To do so, start with one screw and then slightly tighten the
other screws in a crossover pattern.
•
Now you can fully tighten the screws. Once again start with one and then continue to tighten the other screws in a crossover pattern.
•
Connect the fan’s power cable.
Caution
The congatec heatspreaders/cooling solutions are tested only within the commercial temperature range of 0° to 60°C. Therefore, if your
application that features a congatec heatspreader/cooling solution operates outside this temperature range, ensure the correct operating
temperature of the module is maintained at all times. This may require additional cooling components for your final application’s thermal
solution.
For adequate heat dissipation, follow the assembly instruction above. Apply thread-locking fluid on the screws if the CSP is used in a high
shock and/or vibration environment.
For applications that require vertically-mounted CSP, use only cooling solution that secure the thermal stacks with fixing post. Without the
fixing post feature, the thermal stacks may move.
Also, do not exceed the maximum torque specification for the cooling solution screws. Doing so may damage the SBC.
