ML510 Board

3.3V and 5V PCI Slots
The ML510 has both
3.3V and 5V PCI Slots
A 3.3V Slot can be
identified by the board
silkscreen (1) or by the
3.3V Key (2)
A 5V Slot can be
identified by the board
silkscreen (3) or by the
5V Key (4)

Caution
You will short-circuit and damage your ML510
board if
– You plug in a non-compliant Universal PCI add-in card - one
that has its 5V power pins connected to the VI/O special power pins -
into a 3.3V PCI slot
You are responsible for ensuring that your Universal PCI add-
in card is compliant with the PCI Local Bus Specification
version 2.3 (PCI v2.3), section 4.4.1.
Xilinx is not responsible for any damage due to the use of
non-compliant add-in cards.
Note: Presentation applies to the ML510

Caution
The ML510 board has both 3.3V and 5V PCI
slots and can accept a Universal PCI add-in
card into any slot
To prevent damage to your ML510 board,
the add-in card must comply with the PCI
Specification and drive its I/O buffers from
the VI/O special power pins and not from
3.3V or 5V power pins
If your Universal PCI add-in card is powered
by non-compliant power connections instead of VI/O connections,
do not plug it into a PCI slot on the ML510 board
You must test your Universal PCI add-in card for PCI v2.3
compliance before using it with the ML510 board
Note: Presentation applies to the ML510

Testing Universal PCI Cards
As seen in the drawing below, red pins are 5V; yellow pins are 3.3V;
and blue pins are the VI/O special power pins.
Use an ohmmeter to measure the impedance from VI/O to a 5V pin,
and from VI/O to a 3.3V pin. If you find VI/O shorted to either 3.3V or
5V, do not use this add-in card with the ML510 board.
