Introduction
This document provides hardware and soware installaon procedures for the U200, U250, and
U280 Alveo™ Data Center accelerator cards and applies to Vis™ release 2019.2 and later. If you
are using an earlier SDAccel™ release, follow the instrucons in v1.3 of Geng Started with Alveo
Data Center Accelerator Cards (UG1301).
The Xilinx® Alveo™ U200/U250/U280 Data Center accelerator cards are peripheral component
interconnect express (PCIe®) Gen3 x16 compliant cards featuring the Xilinx Virtex® UltraScale+™
technology. These cards accelerate compute-intensive applicaons such as machine learning,
data analycs, video processing, and more. The Alveo U200/U250/U280 Data Center
accelerator cards are available in passive and acve cooling conguraons.
Dierent system conguraons are available for running, developing, and debugging applicaons
on your Alveo accelerator cards:
•Running Applicaons: To run accelerated applicaons, install an Alveo card into a system as
described in Chapter 3: Card Installaon Procedures along with the required deployment
soware to support running applicaons as described in Chapter 4: Installing the Deployment
Soware.
•Developing Applicaons: To develop FPGA accelerated applicaons, it is necessary to install
both the deployment soware and the development soware. Development soware
installaon, described in Chapter 6: Next Steps, installs both a development target plaorm
and the Vis environment. This conguraon does not have an Alveo card installed and is
used for development along with debugging in emulaon modes.
•Running, Developing, and Debugging Applicaons: By installing the Alveo card along with
both the deployment and development soware on a single machine, you can congure a
system for developing and running accelerated applicaons. With the card installed,
developers can debug applicaons in both emulaon modes and on the hardware.

Accelerator Card Overview
Card Interfaces and Details
Alveo™ cards are available in both passive and acve cooling conguraons; see Passive and
Acve Cooling Cards. The interfaces of each are idencal, except the fan included on acve
cooled cards. The card includes the following interfaces, and are shown in the following gure:
1. A PCI Express® card connector.
2. A PCI Express Auxiliary Power Connector. This connector is shown in Figure 4. Connector is
not compable with an ATX12V/EPS12V power source.
3. Two QSFP interfaces. Currently these interfaces are not supported by the deployment
plaorm.
4. A Micro-USB connector for maintenance purposes.
5. A fan for the acve cooled card conguraon.
WARNING! Hazardous moving parts. Keep away from fan blades.
ATTENTION! Pièces mobiles peuvent etre dangereuses. Éloignez-vous des lames du venlateur.
WARNUNG! Gefährliche bewegliche Teile. Halten sie sich von Lüerügeln fern.

Note: On the Alveo U280 card, the Micro-USB is located on the opposite end of the card between the PCB
board and the enclosure.
Passive and Active Cooling Cards
Alveo™ cards are available in both acve and passive cooling conguraons, as shown in the
following gures. The passive cooling card is designed to be installed into a data center server,
where controlled air ow provides direct cooling. The acve cooling card is designed to be
installed into a PC environment where the air ow is uncontrolled; consequently, this
conguraon includes a heat sink and fan enclosure cover to provide appropriate cooling.

U250 Data Center Accelerator Cards Data Sheet (DS962) and Alveo U280 Data Center Accelerator
Cards Data Sheet (DS963).
