4.6 Chassis Installation

4.6.1 Airflow

WARNING:

Airflow is critical to the cooling of the CPU and other on-board

components. The chassis in which the SPCIE-5100DX must have air

vents to allow cool air to move into the system and hot air to move out.

The SPCIE-5100DX 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

SPCIE-5100DX 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.

4.6.2 Backplane Installation

Before the SPCIE-5100DX 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.
