To bring up the EVM board in a typical system, follow these steps:
- Remove the power plug from the PC power supply.
- Make sure the Jumper Shunts are populated on J26 and J40.
- Insert the EVM board into a PCI Express slot. TI recommends to use a PCI Express Gen2 slot if one is available.
- Insert an IDE Power Connector into J5 of the EVM board.
- Insert the power plug into the PC power supply.
- Turn the PC on and check to see if all of the green LEDs are ON. If LED D5 is not active, check to make sure the jumper shunt on J40 is populated. If none of the green LEDs (D1 through D4) for each USB Port are active, check to make sure the Jumper Shunt on J26 is populated and an IDE Power connector is plugged into J5.
- When the PC has booted into Windows system, the user may need to install the TI xHCI driver. If the Windows xHCI driver has already been installed on the PC, then proceed step 8. Otherwise, the user must install the xHCI driver by running the TI xHCI driver setup utility.
- The user can now insert devices into the USB ports.
