Summary:
PCIBPMCX2 is a two slot PMC carrier for the PCI / PCI-X bus. One or two PMC´s can be installed in a single PCI slot configuration. Dynamic Engineering has updated the PCIBPMCX2 design to include the use of “Zero Slot” fans for cooling high wattage PMC designs. “Zero Slot” fans are designed to stay within the PCI and PMC height restrictions. Up to 4 fans can be installed without adding PCI slots to your design.

Full Text:
Zero Slot fans were invented by Dynamic Engineering at the suggestion of our clients to solve the problem of requiring two PCI slots when fans are required for cooling PMC´s.

Dynamic Engineering introduced Zero Slot fans on the PCIBPMCX1 product and is now in the process of updating all carriers in the Dynamic Engineering product line to have this capability.

PCIBPMCX2 is now shipping with the Zero Slot fan capability. PCIBPMCX2 is a two slot PMC carrier for the PCI / PCI-X bus. The concept is to use low profile fans specifically modified to Dynamic Engineering requirements, and to use the height above and below the board to reduce the effective height of the fan(s). The PMC specification allows 4.7 mm on the carrier component side in the non-connector area. Fans require some added space for the air to flow. The fans are set to 3.5 mm above the surface to allow 2.1 mm minimum clearance to the PMC component surface. Each fan produces 5.2 CFM for a steady stream of air to the PMC. Up to 4 fans can be installed per PCIBPMCX2.
