3.1. Applying Power to the Development Kit

This development kit is designed to operate in two modes:

As a PCIe* add-in card

When operating the card as a PCIe* system, insert the card into an available PCIe* slot and connect a 2x4 pin PCIe* power cable from the system to the power connectors at Aux power connector J11 of the board.

Note: When operating as a PCIe* add-in card, the board does not power on unless power is supplied to J11.

In bench-top mode

In bench-top mode, you must supply the board with the provided 240 W power supply connected to the Aux power connector J11, as follows

Note: This development board ships with its switches preconfigured to support the design examples in the kit. If you suspect that your board may not be correctly configured with the default settings, follow the instructions in the Default Switch and Jumper Settings of this chapter.
  1. Connect the provided power supply to an outlet and the DC Power Jack (J11) on the FPGA board.
    Note: Use only the supplied power supply. Power regulation circuits on the board can be damaged by power supplies with greater voltage.
  2. Set the power switch (SW3) to the ON position.

When the board powers up, the blue power LED illuminates and the board is ready for use.
