The KC724 board can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Follow standardESD prevention measures when handling the board.When the KC724 board ships from the factory, it is configured for the GTX IBERTdemonstrations described in this document. If the board has been re-configured it must bereturned to the default set-up before running the IBERT demonstrations.1. Move all jumpers and switches to their default positions. The default jumper andswitch positions are listed in UG932, KC724 Kintex-7 FPGA GTX TransceiverCharacterization Board User Guide.2. Install the GTX transceiver power module by plugging it into connectors J66 and J97.3. Install the SuperClock-2 module:a. Align the three metal standoffs on the bottom side of the module with the threemounting 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 thebottom of the KC724 board.c. On the SuperClock-2 module, place a jumper across pins 2–3 (2V5) of theCONTROL VOLTAGE header, J18, and place another jumper across Si570 INHheader J11.
