Setting Up the KC724 Board
This section describes how to set up the KC724 board.
Caution!
ESD prevention measures when handling the board.
When the KC724 board ships from the factory, it is configured for the GTX IBERT
demonstrations described in this document. If the board has been re-configured it must be
returned to the default set-up before running the IBERT demonstrations.

The KC724 board can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Follow standard
Move all jumpers and switches to their default positions. The default jumper and
switch positions are listed in UG932, KC724 Kintex-7 FPGA GTX Transceiver
Characterization Board User Guide.
Install the GTX transceiver power module by plugging it into connectors J66 and J97.
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 KC724 board.
b. Using three 4-40 x 0.25 inch screws, firmly screw down the module from the
bottom of the KC724 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.
