⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: ENTERPRISE HARDWARE COOLING ⚠️This is enterprise-grade hardware designed to operate in server chassis with continuous, high-CFM forced airflow. It does not have active cooling. * If you are installing this card in a standard desktop PC case, workstation, or home lab environment, it is highly recommended for you toadd a dedicated fan directly blowing across the card's heatsink. * Standard case airflow is not sufficient. Running this card without active, directed cooling in a desktop environment may cause it to overheat, drop drives, and ultimately suffer permanent hardware failure.
Note: The photos provided are representative of the exact model, firmware, and overall condition you will receive, but the specific serial number, SAS address, and minor cosmetic marks on the heatsink may vary slightly.
