more favorable thermal conditions, it may be possible to operate
the module reliably at higher than 55û C with increased airflow. It
is important to note that there are several factors, in addition to the
rated CFM of the air mover, which determine the actual volume
and speed of air flowing over a module.
Forced air cooling is required for the Atlas motherboard.
Additional cooling is required with the installation of the MPC604
RISC processor. A 3-pin header (J17) is provided on the
motherboard for powering a dedicated fan. Refer to the
