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 PICOe-945GSE must have air
vents to allow cool air to move into the system and hot air to move out.
The PICOe-945GSE 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.
5.6.2 Backplane Installation
Before the PICOe-945GSE 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.
