The card supports bidirectional airflow which includes normal (forward) airflow direction from retainer bracket to I/O bracket and reverse airflow, as illustrated in the following figure.

CAUTION:
Passive cards should not be powered without a forced airflow mechanism in place. Ensure that the minimum airflow requirements are sufficiently met.
