Fan: This evaluation module includes components that can get hot to the touch, because this EVM is not enclosed to allow probing of circuit nodes, a small fan capable of 200-400 lfm is recommended to reduce component surface temperatures to prevent user injury. The EVM should not be left unattended while powered. The EVM should not be probed while the fan is not running.
