Abstract:
1. A method of arranging a plurality of components of a circuit board having an air inlet unit and an air outlet unit for optimal heat dissipation, the method comprising: arranging a predetermined number of the plurality of components in a heat dissipation area having a predetermined width on a virtual straight line connecting the air inlet unit and the air outlet unit, wherein the components arranged in the heat dissipation area are relatively larger than the components located outside of the heat dissipation area on the circuit board, wherein the plurality of components arranged in the heat dissipation area are spaced apart from the air inlet unit or the air outlet unit by more than 5 times an inverse number of a size of one of the air inlet unit or the air outlet unit, and wherein the size of one of the air inlet unit or the air outlet unit is a length of the air inlet unit or the air outlet unit into which the air inlets or outlets, measured in centimeters.
