Cooling
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. |
