When you first plug in the module, it will then be found and the driver should be installed for the module. The standard driver
resides in the \Innovative\drivers directory after software installation.
The XMC module may be used an any PCI Express slot supporting 1 or more lanes. Innovative offers a line of adapters for
use with the X5 series which allow the module to be used in PCI and cPCI environments. These adapters may limit the
number of lanes available to the X5 for host communication, depending on their design.
Power Considerations
Each XMC should be reviewed for its specific power, cooling and any special mechanical considerations. For each module
the power consumption and required power supplies are shown in the specific discussion for that module.
For desktop applications, you MUST provide forced air cooling with 5-10 CFM capability. The air must blow directly
on the Virtex5 device.
The X5 XMCs are designed to operate over the typical commercial temperature range of 0 to 70 C, but this relies on
sufficient forced air cooling for most installations and modules. At the lower temperatures, it is also required that the
environment be non-condensing for the standard commercial modules. Extended temperature versions of many modules are
available with conformal coating if the environment is more demanding.
During operation, the module temperature should be monitored to prevent unexpected shutdown. If the module temperature
exceeds 85C, the module will deactivate on-board power supplies to avoid overheating. Please refer to the section on thermal
properties for more details.
PCI Express slots are rated for their power capability. Each installation should be reviewed to verify that the host card plus
the module do not exceed the rated power of the slot. The power consumption for each module is provided in the specific
discussion of that module. Most slots support 15W in desktop systems and provide 3.3V and 12V. Some XMC modules
require -12V, which must be provided by the host card.
