2.3. Inspect the Board

To inspect the board, perform the following steps:

  1. Place the board on an anti-static surface and inspect it to ensure that it has not been damaged during shipment. Without proper anti-static handling, you can damage the board.
  2. Verify that all components are on the board and appear intact.
  3. The Intel® Arria® 10 GX transceiver signal integrity development kit shall have a Fan/Heatsink assembly installed on the top of the FPGA device. If this assembly needs to be installed, refer to the instructions on the documentation package and reference assembly drawing.

    For more information about power consumption and thermal modeling, refer to AN 358: Thermal Management for FPGAs.
