  • Page 26: Power Requirements

    2.3.2 Power Requirements The PCIE-6001 payload card accepts single and double-sided modules up to a power consumption of 10W per module. The module interface must comply with the NVMe (NVM Express) standard. In case of MaxCore platforms, the MaxCore system reads the thermal sensors and provides sufficient cooling.

  • Page 27: Precautions

    Avoid moving as much as possible. Movement gathers static electricity around you.  Do not touch the solder point, pin, or bare circuit.  Do not leave the device in the place where others can operate it. PCIE-6001 Installation and Use (6806800U73B)
