What is the maximum number of E-IPA cards I can have in my EHX matrix?
How many E-IPA cards can fit in a Eclipse Matrix
From v12.1 it appears EHX allows | ||
Delta | Median | Omega |
PS=N/A | PS=720379Z | PS=720379Z |
3 | 4 | 5 (requires forced air cooling) |
Other EHX versions might have smaller limits
You will also need to know what other cards are being used and then check the latest HX power calculator( from Eclipse HX System Power Calculator )
We recommend forced air cooling for all matrices but for the OMEGA frame forced air cooling is mandatary when using 5 IPA cards in the Omega frame
Tip: To spread the heat map load some customers ensure there is 1 card slot gap between IPA cards.
example #1 IPA <empty slot > IPA <empty slot>
example #2 IPA <MVX > IPA <MVX>
The maximum card limit for an Omega frame is 5x EIPA and or IVC/EQUE cards
