Installaon of the VCU128 board inside a computer chassis is required when developing or
tesng PCI Express
®
funconality. When the VCU128 board is used inside a computer chassis
(i.e., plugged in to a PCIe
®
slot), power is provided by choosing one of two mutually exclusive
ATX power supply cables as described in this secon (use one cable or the other).
• The ATX power supply 4-pin (1x4) peripheral connector, which requires using the ATX
adapter cable (see the following gure) to connect to J16 on the VCU128 board. The Xilinx
®
part number for this cable is 2600304. See ATX Power Supply Adapter Cable.
