Hi Jay, I've RMA'ed at least one board and could suspect other boards with the same flaw, so I believe this might be either a design fault or simply a faulty batch.

The fins are supposed to be tethered by a spring hooked into a small wire loop which seems to be soldered onto the circuit board. In the case at hand the wire loop pulls out of the board & the heat fin then flops around free & in 1 case the wire loop was rattling around on the card. Not good. I'm trying to determine if this is a systemic problem or just a fluke. It seems like a design flaw, with the spring being too much for the soldered wire loop. Has anybody else seen this? If so, with how many cards & of what types? ________________________________________________________________________ Jay Ford, Network Engineering Group, Information Technology Services University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242 email: [email protected], phone: 319-335-5555, fax: 319-335-2951 _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
