C.2 Temperature Monitoring Because reliable long-term operation of the ETX-LX15 depends on maintaining proper temperature, DTI strongly recommends verifying the operating temperature of the processor module and processor core in the final system configuration. The Pentium M processor incorporates an on-die thermal diode that can be used to monitor the processor's die temperature. The ETX-LX15 includes an LM87 Hardware Monitor to check the die temperature of the processor for thermal management purposes. When checking airflow conditions, let the Processor Core Temperature Test dwell for at least 30 minutes and verify that the core temperature does not exceed 65°C. The processor "core" temperature must never exceed 100°C under any condition of ambient temperature or usage. WARNING: Temperatures over 100°C may result in permanent damage to the processor. Refer to the "Thermal Requirements" table for more information. 75
