Setting Up The Vcu1287 Board - Xilinx Virtex UltraScale FPGA VCU1287 Getting Started Manual

Setting Up the VCU1287 Board

This section describes how to set up the VCU1287 board.
The VCU1287 board can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Follow
CAUTION!
standard ESD prevention measures when handling the board, such as using a grounding
strap and static dissipative mat.
When the VCU1287 board ships from the factory, it is configured for the support of both
GTH and GTY IBERT demonstrations described in this document. If the board has been
re-configured, it must be returned to the default setup before running the IBERT
demonstrations.
1. Move all jumpers and switches to their default positions. The default jumper and switch
positions are listed in the VCU1287 Characterization Board User Guide (UG1121)
2. Install the UltraScale transceiver power module by plugging it into connectors J124–J46
and J138.
3. Install the SuperClock-2 module:
a. Align the three metal standoffs on the bottom side of the module with the three
mounting holes in the SUPERCLOCK-2 MODULE interface of the VCU1287 board.
b. Using three 4-40 x 0.25 inch screws, firmly screw down the module from the bottom
of the VCU1287 board.
c. On the SuperClock-2 module, place a jumper across pins 2–3 (2V5) of the CONTROL
VOLTAGE header, J18, and place another jumper across Si570 INH header J11.
d. Screw down a 50Ω SMA terminator onto each of the six unused Si5368 clock output
SMA connectors: J7, J8, J12, J15, J16, and J17.
