Passive And Active Cooling Cards - Xilinx Alveo U200 Getting Started

Passive and Active Cooling Cards

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).
