4.2 Mechanical

The Advance e720 accelerator board is compliant with with 

PCI Express Specification 

Revision (1.1)

 and the HP BladeSystem c-Class Mezzanine card Common Specification.

The Advance e720 is a Type II mezzanine card format.

4.3 Electrical

The power requirements for the Advance e720 accelerator board are outlined in 

Table 2

.

          

4.4 Thermal

To keep the CSX700 cool, the Advance e720 accelerator card is fitted with a passive 
heatsink. The passive heatsink is an aluminium finned radiator that dissipates heat through 
convection. For the passive heatsinks to work, they require airflow moving across the fins.

To ensure that the Advance e720 accelerator board is operating within the published limits, 
the BladeSystem’s ambient operating temperature should be as specified in
