A.13.1. Power Guidelines

The Agilex™ 7 FPGA I-Series Development Kit has two modes of operation as described below.

In a Standard PCIe* -Compliant System

In this mode, plug the board into an available PCI Express* slot and connect the standard 2x4 power cords available from the PC's ATX power supply to J11 on the board. The PCIe* slot together with the auxiliary PCIe* power cords are required to power the entire board. If you do not connect the 2x4 auxiliary power connection, it prevents the board from powering on.

As a Standalone Evaluation Board Powered by Included Power Supply

In this mode, plug the included power supply into the 2x4 pin connector (J11) and the AC power cord of the power supply into a power outlet. This power supply provides the entire power to the board without the need to obtain power from the PCIe* slot. The power switch SW6 controls powering of the board.
