A.16. Board Thermal Requirements

A thermal solution is designed to cool up to 250W total power of the board. An active cooling design is used. The heatsink is designed to meet the height constraints of a 2-slot PCIe* card form-factor as defined by the PCIe* CEM specification revision 3.0.

The heatsink is securely mounted to the board using screws for easy assembly and removal. A thermal material is also used between the FPGA and heatsink to ensure good thermal contact.
