NI 9695 sbRIO Thermal Solution
1.
Remove gap pad pieces from both liners and apply pink side to heat
raised protrusions.
2.
Fasten heat spreader to mounting surface using provided 16 mm
standoffs. Tighten completely.
Note
Thermal interface material can optionally be used between heat spreader and
mounting surface. Note that thermal interface material may affect system stack height and
levelness.
3.
When mounting the sbRIO-9623/9626/9633/9636, fasten provided
18 mm standoffs to mounting surface in sbRIO footprint holes not
used to fasten the heat spreader. Tighten completely.
4.
Align sbRIO device to standoff holes and fasten using provided
screws. Use caution when aligning the sbRIO device. Once it has been
placed separating the heat spreader and sbRIO device will be difficult
and could potentially damage components.
Caution
Do not
fasten screws using an automatic screwdriver. Gap pad is a viscoelastic
material and compressing it too fast will potentially break components by placing a large
amount of stress on them. It is recommended to fasten these screws at a rate below
10 in/min.
