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, 6G edition, 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. The board has two holes near the FPGA that accommodate
many different heat sinks, including the Dynatron V31G. You can perform power
consumption and thermal modeling to determine whether your application requires
additional cooling. For information about measuring board and FPGA temperature in
real time, refer to
