* this is the new standard DAQ PC replacing the socket 2011 DAQ PC. Improvement: no need for external video card - this permits mounting in 2U and 3U chassis, on board support for 3 large LCD monitors, use latest Intel CPUs. Drawback: 32GB RAM max instead of 64GB RAM, dual-channel ram instead of quad-channel RAM.

* Instructions for mounting cooling fans: remove stock short-life-time fans, mount replacement fans for air flow from back to front of the case: 1 rear case fan, 1 front mounted fan blowing on the hard drives. Remove front air filter, duct-tape shut all rear, side and bottom air holes - air flow should be: rear fan pushes air into computer, front fan pushes air into hard disk enclosure, out of computer through the front of the case where the air filter used to be.

* (to be updated) Cooling fans note: ASUS Z87 WS motherboard requires use of non-PWM fans. The 4-pin fan headers do not provide PWM fan control - see mobo manual - pwm pin is hardwired to +5V. Only the 4-pin fan header CPU_OPT has PWM control - connect a PWM fan (4-pin connector) - but it will run at same speed as the main CPU fan.
