Before using the kit or installing the software, check the kit contents and inspect the
board to verify that you received all of the items listed in
If any of the items are missing, contact Altera before you proceed.
To inspect the board, perform the following steps:
1. Place the board on an anti-static surface and inspect it to ensure that it has not been
2. Verify that all components are on the board and appear intact.
In typical applications with the Arria II GX FPGA development board, a heat sink is
not necessary. However, under extreme conditions or for engineering sample silicon
the board might require additional cooling to stay within operating temperature
guidelines. You can perform power consumption and thermal modeling to determine
whether your application requires additional cooling. The board has two holes near
the FPGA that accommodate many different heat sinks, including the Dynatron V31G.
For more information about power consumption and thermal modeling, refer to
AN 358: Thermal Management for
To avoid damage to the board, always have the board POWER switch (SW1) in the
OFF position before inserting the DC power jack (J4).
