Installing Handles

If the controller is to be installed in an enclosure or cabinet:
• Install the handle brackets on the sides with the 2x3 provided screws
The handles can be mounted on both the front or the rear sides.
3.4.2

Installing Driver Cards

Due to the high power of the XPS controller (250 W for the CPU and 750 W for the
drives), ventilation is very important.
To ensure a good level of heat dissipation, the following rules must be followed:
1.
It is strictly forbidden to use the XPS controller without the cover properly mounted
on the chassis.
2.
Driver boards must be inserted from right (driver 1) to left (driver 8) when looking at
the rear of the controller.
3.
If less than eight are used, the remaining slots must be disabled with the appropriate
slot covers that were delivered with the controller.
4.
The surrounding ventilation holes at the sides and back of the XPS unit must be free
from obstructions that prevent the free flow of air.
