Power 

2.1  Input Supply 

The NetFPGA-SUME receives power via a 2 x 4 pin PCI Express Auxiliary Power Connector. The 2x4 pin PCI Express 
Auxiliary Power receptacle (header J14) can accept both 2x3 and 2x4 pin PCI Express Auxiliary Power Plugs found 
on a standard ATX power supply. When installed on a PC motherboard, you can plug the 2x3 or 2x4 pin PCI Express 
power supply connector directly into header J14. When used in standalone mode (without a PC motherboard),
