Due to the nature of the ZBOX PI225 design utilizing a metal ribbed body which also acts like a
heatsink to help dissipate heat on the passively cooled unit, the exterior surface temperature may
rise up to 57°C during continuous video playback / digital signage use. We highly recommend
not to make physical contact with the unit while the system is running as it may cause severe
discomfort or burning sensation.
