Alveo™ cards are available in both active and passive cooling configurations, as shown in the following figures. The passive cooling card is designed to be installed into a data center server, where controlled air flow provides direct cooling. The active cooling card is designed to be installed into a PC environment where the air flow is uncontrolled; consequently, this configuration includes a heat sink and fan enclosure cover to provide appropriate cooling.
For card specifications, dimensions, list of card features, and block diagram see Alveo U200 and U250 Data Center Accelerator Cards Data Sheet (DS962) and Alveo U280 Data Center Accelerator Cards Data Sheet (DS963).
