It's not in there... yet. The max is 1A/pin, but that's not necessarily
realistic (too high). So, consider that whatever your power
dissipation, you will probably have to specify an air flow and pressure
drop within the operating confines of your card (how many slots does it
need - including space for air circulation) so that the systems guys can
be sure it won't overheat in their chassis.
