Make sure the card is plugged into a PCIe slot or connected to the 12 V input supply. If the card is plugged into the PCIe
slot, external power is provided by the system, and SW2 should be in the up position to receive power from the PCIe
slot. If external 12 V power is provided, then SW2 should be in the down position to receive power from the external
12 V connection. Connect the board to the PC running the Lattice Radiant software with the Mini USB Type A Cable as
shown in
Figure 3.4 .
