1.2 Thermal Considerations
All models of Altair are specified for a -40
o
C to +85
o
C operating range, the temperature being measured at the
outside surface of the heatspreader. Diamond Systems provides a heatspreader attached to the Altair single
board computer as a conductive cooled thermal layer. However, this heatspreader by itself does not constitute
the complete thermal solution necessary for any specific implementation, but provides a common interface
between the single board computer and
the customer’s implementation-specific thermal solution.
The outside surface of the Altair heatspreader must be kept at a temperature not to exceed +85
o
C. If your
environment causes the temperature on the outside surface of the heatspreader to exceed this temperature, you
are responsible for removing the additional heat from the system through either an additional passive thermal
solution or fan solution.
