Thermal Management
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.

System Memory
The evaluation board supports DDR2 400/533 main memory. Two 200-pin SODIMM 
connectors (one per channel) on the board support unbuffered, non-ECC, single and 
double-sided DDR2 400/533 MHz SODIMMs. These SODIMMs provide the ability to use 
up to 1 Gbit technology for a maximum of 2 GBytes system memory.
