VC709 Evaluation Board www.xilinx.com 47
UG887 (v1.0) February 4, 2013
Feature Descriptions
Switches
[Figure 1-2, callout 21, 19]
The VC709 board includes a power and a configuration switch:
• Power on/off slide switch SW12 (callout 21)
• FPGA_PROG_B SW9, active-Low (callout 19)
Power On/Off Slide Switch SW12
[Figure 1-2, callout 21]
The VC709 board power switch is SW12. Sliding the switch actuator from the Off to On
position applies 12V power from J18, a 6-pin mini-fit connector. Green LED DS16
illuminates when the VC709 board 12V power is on. See Power Management, page 54 for
details on the onboard power system.
Caution!
Do NOT plug a PC ATX power supply 6-pin connector into J18 on the VC709 board.
The ATX 6-pin connector has a different pinout than J18. Connecting an ATX 6-pin connector into
J18 damages the VC709 board and voids the board warranty.
The VC709 evaluation kit provides the adapter cable shown in Figure 1-20 for powering
the VC709 board from the ATX power supply 4-pin peripheral connector. The Xilinx part
number for this cable is 2600304, and is equivalent to Sourcegate Technologies part number
AZCBL-WH-1109-RA4.
