5.6 Chassis Installation
5.6.1 Airflow
WARNING:
Airflow is critical to the cooling of the CPU and other onboard
components. The chassis in which the PCIE-Q350 must have air vents
to allow cool air to move into the system and hot air to move out.
The PCIE-Q350 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
PCIE-Q350 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 PCIE-Q350 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.
