Setting Up the VC7222 Board for GTH and GTZ IBERT Testing

Caution!
ESD prevention measures when handling the board.
When the VC7222 board ships from the factory, it is already configured for the GTH IBERT
demonstration described in this chapter. If the board has been re-configured, it must be
returned to the default setup before running the IBERT demonstrations.

The VC7222 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 Virtex-7 FPGA VC7222 GTH and GTZ Transceiver
Characterization Board User Guide (UG965)
Install the GTH and GTZ transceiver power modules into connectors J29 – J102, and J5
and J71, respectively.
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 VC7222 board.
b. Using three 4-40 x 0.25 inch screws, firmly screw down the module from the
bottom of the VC7222 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.
