1. Switch / Jumper Settings
Default Switch and Jumper Settings for the KCU105 are:
Start from a known safe scenario by verifying the default Switch and Jumper settings. You can then set switches / jumpers for your application.
a. DIP Switch Default Settings:
b. DIP Switch SW15 Mode Settings:
Mode settings switches M2:0] are wired to SW15 pins 4-6. The default settings for SW15 (Mode Settings) is listed below.
c. Default Jumper Settings:
Power-ON LEDs: Initial power testing is performed on the bench using the AC-to-DC power adapter provided in the KCU105 Evaluation Kit.
The status of the Power-ON LEDs is an indication of board health.
a. Check the status of the following LEDs at Power-ON:
b. Ethernet PHY status LEDs
These LEDs are visible on the left edge of the KCU105 board when it is installed into a PCIe slot in a PC chassis.
The two PHY status LEDs are integrated into the metal frame of the P3 RJ-45 connector, as shown below:
c. Voltage and current monitoring and control for the Maxim Integrated power system is available through either the KCU105 system controller or via the Maxim Integrated PowerTool software graphical user interface.
The KCU105 system controller is the simplest and most convenient way to monitor the voltage and current values for the power rails on the board. More information on the System Controller can be found in (UG917) The KCU105 Board User Guide.
http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/boards_and_kits/kcu105/ug917-kcu105-eval-bd.pdf
The Maxim Integrated InTune power controllers can also be accessed through the PMBus connector J39.
Using this connector requires the Maxim PowerTool USB cable (Maxim part number MAXPOWERTOOL002#).
If the Power ON LEDs are not lit at power on, you may need to reprogram the Maxim Integrated Power Controllers on your KCU105.
This can be done using the Maxim Integrated PowerTool software package, and the Maxim Integrated Dongle.
Information on the Maxim Integrated Power Solution on the KCU105 can be found in (Xilinx Answer 65236), together with information on how to order a Maxim Integrated USB cable free of charge.
The Maxim Integrated Power Controllers on the KCU105 can be reprogrammed. This is the first debug that should be taken if power issues are discovered on your KCU105.
Step-by-step instructions, together with the script to be used to reprogram the Maxim parts can be found in (Xilinx Answer 65218).
d. If the 12V Power LED (DS26 on the KCU105) is not Green upon power up, then 12VDC is not being delivered to the KCU105 power input connector.
Follow these steps:
