EB64H16 Installation
This chapter discusses the steps required to configure and install the EB64H16 evaluation board. All
available DIP switches and jumper configurations are explained in detail. The primary installation steps are:
1. Configure jumper/switch options suitable for the evaluation or application requirements.
2. Connect PCI Express endpoint cards to the downstream port PCIe slots on the evaluation board.
3. Connect a PCI Express adapter card in an upstream port with a cable to another PCI Express
adaptor card in the root complex or host system, as shown in Figure 2.1.
4. Turn the power switch on the eval board (located at S3) to ON.
5. Apply power to the host system.
The EB64H16 board is shipped with all jumpers and switches configured to their default settings. In
most cases, the board does not require further modification or setup.
PCI Express Adapter Card
The PCI Express adapter card contains eight PCI Express lanes (see Figure 2.1). The lower four lanes
are routed to an Infiniband connector J2 and the upper four lanes to J3. The differential REFCLKp and
REFCLKn pins are routed to J5 and J6, respectively. The JTAG interface and PERST# pins are routed to J4
although only PERST# pin is actually used. Two PCI Express Adapter cards are required to connect the
EB64H16 evaluation board to the host PC and remember to match the connector connection between two
cards.
