Without modification it does not automatically power up. You can hovewer solder a short over the start switch "SW-TACT1" so it's always "pressed". After that modification it will power up automatically. > > - Does it ship with a heatsink on the CPU? How warm does the CPU package > get? Unfortunately a CPU cooler is not included in the package. If you the CPU is near 100%, the board begins to act unstable. So there are two options, throttle down the CPU or mount a headsink. I have glued an old passive heatsink from a nordbridge with arctic silver adhesive to the CPU. Now the package is completely stable. > > I am considering putting one in a 1U rack case in a warmish server room for a > few years... I don't know if this is the right board for the purpose. It is powerfull for sure, but I think it was put together in a hurry with engineers in mind. But honestly, I don't know how it will perform in the long therm. > > > Cheers, Phil. > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
