Note ...
The Full-size AM4100 module has an airflow rate deviation of max. ± 1.8% of
the average value of the four thermal zones (max. ± 25% is allowed).
Positive deviation means increased airflow.
Negative deviation means decreased airflow.
Note ...
The Full-size AM4100 module provides an open area of 56%. According to the
PICMG AMC.0 Specification, an open area of 20 to 70% perpendicular to the
airflow path is recommended.
