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 Stratix IV GX FPGA development board, 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. 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
