To guarantee reliable operation across the entire operating temperature range and longer lifetime, ensure an adequate cooling of the card:

□

The cooling is improved by a higher air flow circulating around the board. This air flow is increased, for example, by using computer case fans.

□

Avoid placing a card next to other heat dissipating boards.

□

□

PC3622-LH Coaxlink Duo CXP-12 LH requires a minimum of 250 LFM (Linear Feet per Minute) across the surface of the board.
