Introduction
This document provides hardware installaon procedures for the Alveo™ U30 Data Center
accelerator card.
The Xilinx® Alveo U30 data center accelerator card, shown in the following gure, is a single slot,
half-height, half-length, low prole form factor passively-cooled card operang up to a 25W total
dissipated power (TDP). It has a bifurcated Gen3 x8 to form two independent Gen3 x4
PCI Express® (PCIe) compliant interfaces. It features two Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoCs to
accelerate HD video transcoding and analycs. It targets high density video transcoding
applicaon, capable of decoding, scaling, and encoding up to eight 1080p60 streams. The U30
card provides superb power and cost performance for such video applicaons.

Electrostatic Discharge Caution
Electrostac discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components when they are improperly
handled, and can result in total or intermient failures. Always follow ESD-prevenon procedures
when removing and replacing components.
To prevent ESD damage:
• Use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes skin contact. Connect the equipment
end of the strap to an unpainted metal surface on the chassis.
• Avoid touching the card against your clothing. The wrist strap protects components from ESD
on the body only.
• Handle the card by its bracket or edges only. Avoid touching the printed circuit board or the
connectors.
• Put the card down only on an anstac surface such as the bag supplied in your kit.
• If you are returning the card to Xilinx Product Support, place it back in its anstac bag
immediately.
Attention aux Décharge Électrostatique (ESD)
L'ESD peut endommager les composants électroniques lorsqu'ils sont mal manipulés, et peut
entraîner des défaillances totales ou intermientes. Suivez toujours les procédures de prévenon
contre les ESD lors du retrait et remplacement des composants.
Pour prévenir les dommages dus aux ESD:
•Ulisez une sangle de poignet ou de cheville an-ESD et assurez-vous qu'elle est en contact
avec la peau. Branchez l'extrémité du cable de la sangle à une surface métallique non peinte
du châssis et a la masse.
• Évitez de mere en contact la carte de circuit imprimé ou les connecteurs avec vos vêtements.
La sangle de poignet protège la carte ou connecteurs contre les ESD du corps seulement.
• Manipulez la carte uniquement par son support ou par ses bords. Évitez de toucher la carte de
circuit imprimé ou les connecteurs.
• Ne posez la carte de circuit imprimé ou les connecteurs que sur une surface anstaque telle
que le sac an-staque fourni avec la carte.
• Si vous retournez la carte a Xilinx, remeez-la dans son sac anstaque immédiatement.
Vorsicht Elektrostatische Entladung
Elektrostasche Entladung (ESD) kann elektronische Bauteile beschädigen, wenn sie
unsachgemäß behandelt werden, und es kann zu totalen oder zeitweiligen Ausfällen kommen.
Befolgen sie beim Enernen und Austauschen von Komponenten stets die ESD-
Schutzmaßnahmen.

So verhindern sie ESD-Schäden:
• Verwenden sie einen ESD-Handgelenk-oder Knöchelriemen und stellen sie sicher, dass er
Hautkontakt hat. Verbinden sie das Ende des Riemens mit einer unlackierten Metalloberäche
am Gehäuse.
• Berühren sie die Karte nicht mit ihrer Kleidung. Der Riemen schützt Komponenten nur vor
ESD am Körper.
• Fassen sie die Karte nur an der Halterung oder an den Kanten an. Berühren sie nicht die
Leiterplae oder die Anschlüsse.
• Legen sie die Karte nur auf einer anstaschen Oberäche ab, z.B. dem anstaschen Beutel
der mit dem Kit mitgeliefert wurde.
• Wenn sie die Karte an den Xilinx Product Support zurücksenden, legen Sie sie bie sofort
wieder in den anstaschen Beutel.
