We study the roles of type Ia (SNIa) and type II supernovae (SNII) in enrichment of the intra-cluster medium (ICM). Considering stellar [Fe/H] of ellipticals, iron mass in ICM to luminosity ratios, and [α/Fe] of ICM, we show that ~ 53% of iron in ICM comes from SNIa. While clusters keep all of ejecta from ellipticals, we obtain the observational evidence for that groups of galaxies lose parts of the gas by supernovae-driven winds. This ‘group wind’ scenario is confirmed by an 1D hydrodynamical model.
