Double-wide PCIe video cards require special attention when being 
installed into the EB2 chassis. Not only do they require proper cooling, 
but we must also ensure adequate power for them to operate optimally. 
After verifying that the built-in power supply can adequately power the 
video card, connect it into the lower PCIe slot and be sure to connect 
the appropriate auxiliary power connector to the card as follows:  

 

Double-wide video cards require 
proper air circulation in order to 
remain cool. For that purpose 
the chassis has a special 
ventilation cutout behind the 
cards’ fan. Blocking it from the 
outside should therefore be 
avoided whenever possible.

Connect the auxiliary power 
connector here.                           
In any case of discrepancies 
between the sample card 
shown here and the one to be 
installed, please follow the 
card vendors’ installation 
instructions.
