[casper] Virtex 6 Heat Sink and SFP+ BOM

[Joe Greenberg]

Thanks Dan, that was very helpful.  I found Radian makes a passive heat 
sink that can be a snap on replacement for the fansink.
See:  http://www.radianheatsinks.com/Products/INL42.5001-13/1.7_479.aspx
On another topic, is there a Bill of Materials available for the SFP+ 
Mezzanine Card?
We are looking into making a similar card as part of the PAPER project.

Thanks,
Joe

    We are planning to rack mount Roach 2 Cards with forced air
    cooling in the ALMA Correlator.

    In this configuration, a passive heat sink on the Virtex 6 seems
    more appropriate than the Fan based Vantec heat sinks.

    Does this seem an appropriate way to go?

    Has anyone operated Roach 2 boards with passive heat sinks before?

    Does anyone have any specific heat sinks to recommend?  Vantec
    does not seem to make passive heat sinks.

    Thanks,
