NI 9695 sbRIO Thermal Solution
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.
Installing With an RMC
Note
An RMC can be used with the heat spreader in either mounting orientation.
However, the standoffs used to separate sbRIO and the RMC are not provided in this kit.
Figure 7 shows one example of an RMC being installed to a sbRIO-9626 with the flat face
of the heat spreader mated to the base mounting surface.
