1.4 Quick-Start Guide
1. Check that the shunts are at the following default positions as shown in Figure 1-1 .
• J8: Shunt installed across pins 2-3: PERST# signal routed to B12 pin of SlimSAS connector P2.
• J10: Shunt installed across pins 2-3: PERST# signal routed to B30 pin of SlimSAS connector P2.
• J9: Shunt installed across pins 2-3: PERST# signal routed to B12 pin of SlimSAS connector P3.
• J11: Shunt installed across pins 2-3: PERST# signal routed to B30 pin of SlimSAS connector P3.
• J16: Shunts installed across pins 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8: PRSNT1 signal routed to PRSNT2_1,
PRSNT2_2, PRSNT2_3, and PRSNT2_4 pins on the CEM connector.
• JMP2: Shunt installed across pins 2-3: LMK00334 outputs enabled.
• JMP1: Shunt installed across pins 2-3: PCIe system clock selected as an input to the LMK00334.
• JMP3: Shunt installed across pins 2-3: LMK00334 reference output disabled.
2. Plug DS320PR810-RSC-EVM, or other riser card style TI evaluation board into a PCIe x16 CEM slot on a
motherboard. Ensure that the motherboard is powered down prior to installing the riser card.
3. Install DS320-SLIMSAS-EVM into the straddle connector on the riser card selected in the prior step.
4. Connect a SlimSAS (SFF-8654) to U.2 (SFF-8639) cable assembly (not included) into the SlimSAS
connector P2 of the DS320-SLIMSAS-EVM. Alternatively, connect the second cable assembly into the
SlimSAS connector P3 of the DS320-SLIMSAS-EVM.
5. Attached an endpoint or endpoints on the other side of the cable. Ensure that the power is also provided to
one or more of the endpoints prior to powering up the motherboard.
6. Power-up the motherboard.
7. Observe a successful linkup of one or more of the endpoints using system BIOS or other available system
utility.
2 Typical Test Setup
Figure 2-1 shows a typical system test setup with the DS3200PR810-RSC-EVM and DS320-SLIMSAS-EVM
placed between a CPU on a server motherboard and PCIe 5.0 endpoints. The endpoints are SSDs with M.2
form factor mounted on U.2 to M.2 adapters.
