SPCIE-3600AM2 PICMG 1.3 CPU Card

Page 78

The SPCIE-3600AM2 must be installed in a chassis with ventilation holes on the sides

allowing airflow to travel through the heat sink surface. In a system with an individual

power supply unit, the cooling fan of a power supply can also help generate airflow

through the board surface.

NOTE:

IEI has a wide range of backplanes available. Please contact your

SPCIE-3600AM2 vendor, reseller or an IEI sales representative at

[email protected] or visit the IEI website (http://www.ieiworld.com.tw)

to find out more about the available chassis.

5.6.2 Backplane Installation

Before the SPCIE-3600AM2 can be installed into the chassis, a backplane must first be

installed. Please refer to the installation instructions that came with the backplane and the

chassis to see how to install the backplane into the chassis.

NOTE:

IEI has a wide range of backplanes available. Please contact your

SPCIE-3600AM2 vendor, reseller or an IEI sales representative at

[email protected] or visit the IEI website (http://www.ieiworld.com.tw)

to find out more about the available chassis.

5.6.3 CPU Card Installation

To install the SPCIE-3600AM2 CPU card onto the backplane, carefully align the CPU card

interface connectors with the corresponding socket on the backplane. To do this, please

refer to the reference material that came with the backplane. Next, secure the CPU card to

the chassis. To do this, please refer to the reference material that came with the chassis.
