WAFER-EHL SBC Figure 4-6: Heat Sink Retention Screws IEI also provides two thermal solutions for customers to choose. IEI has developed a highly efficient thermal solution for the 3.5" motherboard - IEI Heat Conduction Casing (IHCC). With its well-design structure, the IHCC can effectively improve heat transfer performance and cut time-to-market.
WAFER-EHL SBC 4.4.2 Motherboard Installation IEI recommend you to choose the DRPC-W-EHL for the WAFER-EHL installation. The DRPC-W-EHL is a compact embedded chassis designed for 3.5" single board computers. With its two-dimensional heat conduction and low wind resistance design on the surfaced, no extra thermal solution is needed to form the heat dissipation part.
WAFER-EHL SBC Figure 4-11: Motherboard Installation Example 4.5 Riser Card Installation The WAFER-EHL features a PCIe x4 (x2 signal) slot, which is a new design of the WAFER motherboard to expand functionality.
