3 Handling and Operating Instructions
ESD Protection
3.1
The PCI Express Mini Card module is sensitive to static electricity.
Packing, unpacking and all other module handling has to be done in
an ESD/EOS protected Area.
Height Restrictions
3.2
The I/O connector and the heatsink will exceed the available PCI
Express Mini Card components height. Check carefully if your
application provides enough spacing for a TMPE627.
Thermal Considerations
3.3
Due to its small size and high density, the TMPE627 can generate a
lot of heat.
Forced air cooling is recommended during operation. If forced air
cooling is not possible, another equivalent cooling mechanism must
be applied. Without adequate cooling, damage to the device can
occur.
