For Arria II devices, the RCLK networks only pertain to the quadrant they drive into.
RCLK networks provide the lowest clock delay and skew for logic contained in a
single device quadrant. Arria II IOEs and internal logic in a given quadrant can also
drive RCLKs to create internally generated RCLKs and other high fan-out control
signals; for example, synchronous or asynchronous clears and clock enables.
show CLK pins and PLLs that can drive RCLK networks in
Arria II devices.
