18, ADM-PCIE-9V5 User Manual 3.4 QSFP-DD Four QSFP-DD cages are available at the front panel. These cages are capable of housing either QSFP28 or QSFP-DD cables (backwards compatible). Both active optical and passive copper QSFP-DD/QSFP28 compatible models are fully compliant. The communication inte…

9, ADM-PCIE-9V5 User Manual 2.3.1 Active VS Passive Thermal Management The ADM-PCIE-9V5 ships with a small optional blower for active cooling in systems with poor airflow. If the ADM-PCIE-9V5 will be installed in a server with controlled airflow, the card may be ordered without th…

8, Alpha Data ADM-PCIE-9V5 ADM-PCIE-9V5 User Manual 2.3 Thermal Performance If the FPGA core temperature exceeds 105 degrees Celsius, the FPGA design will be cleared to prevent the card from over-heating. The ADM-PCIE-9V5 comes with a heat sink to help avoid thermal overstress of FPGA, since it is typically the hottest …

22, ADM-PCIE-9V5 User Manual 3.7 USB Interface The FPGA can be configured directly from the USB connection on either the front panel or the rear card edge. The ADM-PCIE-9V5 utilizes the Digilent USB-JTAG converter box which is supported by the Xilinx software tool suite. Simply connect a micro…

23, ADM-PCIE-9V5 User Manual when system resets and power cycles are not an option. The Alpha Data System Monitor is also capable of reconfiguring the flash memory and reprograming the FPGA. This provides a useful failsafe mechanism to re-program the FPGA even if it drops off the PCIe bus. The sys…
