5.5 Chassis Installation
5.5.1 Airflow
WARNING:
Airflow is critical to the cooling of the CPU and other onboard
components. The chassis in which the PCISA-9652 must have air
vents to allow cool air to move into the system and hot air to move out.
The PCISA-9652 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
PCISA-9652 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.
5.5.2 Backplane Installation
Before the PCISA-9652 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.
