Fan stopped on FPGA

Hi, :confused: I have downloaded a programming file into my DSP Stratix EP2S180 and the fan above the stratix stopped. Any idea ? thanks

I don't know if there are issues related to what I did, but since I can program the device from distance (another machine with JTAG Server), I have hardwired the fan wires to GND and VCC.

The black wire is now connected to the nearest GND pin on the Dev Board, and

the red wire is connected to the nearest 5V pin on the Dev Board.

So, it doesn't matter, what I program to the Stratix II component, the fan will never stop.

Gabriel,

PS: I really don't know if there are related issues with this procedure, but I'm using it since 2007.
