Extra Power adaptor for Agilex™ 7 FPGA M-Series HBM2e Development Kit

Hi,

To start using the Ethernet (except loop-back), the documentation writes: "All the QSFPDD and QSFPDD800 ports can support up to class 8, meaning each port consumes 18 W. Two power supplies are needed to provide sufficient power for peak performance." (section 3.2).

I have looked to buy an identical one that is supplied with the kit, but they seem hard to find, and alternative power adapters that are 12V/250W (like the one supplied with the kit) with a PCIe (Molex Mini-Fit Jr.) connector is hard to find.

Could you kindly advise on where to find such power adapters?

Thanks in advance.

    Hello APod,


    Good day. To use Ethernet, it can work fine with just one power supply. Kindly use the existing adapter to run ethernet.
