3. Development Board Setup
This chapter describes how to apply power to the development board and provides
default switch and jumper settings.
3.1. Applying Power to the Development Board
This development kit is designed to operate in two modes:
As a PCIe Add-In Card
When operating the card as a PCIe system, insert the card into an available PCIe slot
and connect a 2x4 pin PCIe power cable from the system to power connectors at J11
of the board.
Note:
When operating as a PCIe add-in card, the board will not power on unless power is
supplied to J11.
In Bench-Top Mode
In bench-top mode, you must supply the board with the provided power 240 W power
supply connected to the power connector J11. The following describes the operation in
bench-top mode.
This development board ships with its switches preconfigured to support the design
examples in the kit.
If you suspect that your board may not be correctly configured with the default
settings, follow the instructions in the
Default Switch and Jumper Settings
11.
1. Connect the supplied power supply to an outlet and the DC Power Jack (J11) on
the FPGA board.
Note: Use only the supplied power supply. Power regulation circuits on the board
can be damaged by power supplies with greater voltage.
2. Set the power switch (SW6) to the ON position.
When the board powers up, the blue power LED illuminates and the board is ready
for use.
The blue LED (D6) illuminates to indicate that all the power rails on the board are
good. If the POWER GOOD LED (D6) is not illuminated, it indicates that the power
supply malfunctioned, and the board will not power up.
Caution:
The standby powers are always present as soon as the Aux power is applied to J11.
Use power switch SW6 to start the board.
