2.4 Optional Blower

Because it is possible for generic PC chassis to not provide sufficient airflow to cool the FPGA, the
ADM-PCIE-9V3 is shipped with an uninstalled blower. The blower is optional and can be easily installed with a
Philips screw driver at the discretion of the user. Ensure the opening is facing the heatsink fins. The blower
hangs off the back of the PCB outside of the PCIe card envelope. After screwing the blower into the heatsink,
plug in the small power connector into the connector in the corner of the board. It is possible to alternatively ship
a fan that fits in the adjacent PCIe card slot if required for mechanical fit, contact sales@alpha-data.com for
details.

2.5 Full Height Heat Sink

For customers with full height chassis that would like better thermal performance, and to baffle the empty space
above the card, Alpha Data sells a full height heat sink variant. The thermal performance boost is documented in
