CAUTION:
Alveo data center accelerator cards are designed to be installed into
a data center server, where controlled air flow provides direct cooling. If the
cooling enclosure is removed from the card and the card is powered-up, external fan
cooling airflow MUST be applied to prevent over-temperature shut-down and possible
damage to the card electronics. Removing the cooling enclosure voids the board
warranty.
For card specifications, dimensions, list of card features, airflow requirements, and block diagram, see Alveo U55C Data Center Accelerator Cards Data Sheet (DS978).
