Board Diagnostic
The reference design can be used as a board diagnostic to verify the board interfaces. The external
board interfaces are verified through and external loopback method. To populate the external
loopbacks a specific fixtures are required. Some of the fixtures are proprietary to KAYA
Instruments. Please contact KAYA Instruments representative for availability of the fixtures.
For SFP+ loopback, optical SFP+ loopback fixtures are required. Figure 13 shows the optical SFP+
loopback fixture.
