EB16NT2 Installation
This chapter discusses the steps required to configure and install the EB16NT2 evaluation board. All
available DIP switches and jumper configurations are explained in detail.
The primary installation steps are:
1. Configure jumper/switch options suitable for the evaluation or application requirements.
2. Insert the evaluation board into the host system (motherboard with root complex chipset).
3. Connect the NTB port to a remote system via a PCI Express® cable. An PCI Express adapter card
to PCI Express Cable connector can be used on a remote system.
4. Apply power to the host system.
The EB16NT2 board is shipped with all jumpers and switches configured to their default settings. In
most cases, the board does not require further modification or setup.
PCI Express Adapter Card
The PCI Express adapter card is an x8 link PCI Express card. It can be installed in a remote system. A
(x8 lane) PCIe® cable is used to connect a remote system to EB16NT2 NTB port. See Figure 2.1 for the
graphical presentation of this connection.
