◼Fix your SBC in System

Caution: Suggest your S.I or vendor to use a metal bracket to hold/fix the desktop or server grade SBC to avoid the vibration damage during transportation. Heavy processor

cooler may bend the SBC when systems are during transportation without any holder.

Example:

⚫4U chassis :

➔Use L type mental or plastic or rubber bracket to hold SBC.
