VPK180 Evaluation Board User Guide UG1582 (v1.0) February 21, 2023 Xilinx is creating an environment where employees, customers, and partners feel welcome and included. To that end, we’re removing non- inclusive language from our products and related collateral. We’ve launched an internal initiative to remove language that could exclude people or reinforce historical biases, including terms embedded in our software and IPs.

Chapter 3: Board Component Descriptions The VPK180 cooling fan connector is shown in the following figure. The VPK180 uses the system controller to autonomously control the fan speed by controlling the pulse width modulation (PWM) signal to the fan. The fan rotates slowly (acoustically quiet) when ACAP U1 is cool and rotates faster as the ACAP heats up (acoustically noisy).
