The evaluation board conforms to the ATX form factor. For extra protection in a 

development environment, you may want to install the evaluation board in an ATX 

chassis. Internal and rear panel system I/O connectors are described in 

. 

An overview of connector and slot locations is provided in 

The objective of thermal management is to ensure that the temperature of each 

component is maintained within specified functional limits. The functional temperature 

limit is the range within which the electrical circuits can be expected to meet their 

specified performance requirements. Operation outside the functional limit can degrade 

system performance and cause reliability problems.

The development kit is shipped with a fansink thermal solution for installation on the 

processor. This thermal solution has been tested in an open-air environment at room 

temperature and is sufficient for evaluation purposes. The designer must ensure that 

adequate thermal management is provided for any customer-derived designs.

The following sections provide a detailed view of system features and operation. Refer
