Thermal Considerations

Heat-generating components of the MXE-5300 (such as CPU and
PCH) are all situated on the left side of the system. These compo-
nents directly contact the heat sink via thermal pads and dissipate
heat generated by the components. To maximize efficiency of heat
dissipation, a minimum of 2 inches (5 cm) clearance should be
maintained on the top of the chassis.
