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 Stratix IV GX transceiver signal integrity board, a heat
sink is not necessary. However, under extreme conditions the board may require
additional cooling to stay within operating temperature guidelines. You may wish to
perform power consumption and thermal modeling to determine whether your
application requires additional cooling.
