OverviewZedBoard is a low cost development platform for the
Zynq-7000 AllProgrammable System on Chip. ZedBoard now ships with a
heat sink installedon the Zynq device. In some circumstances where
the device is being heavilyutilized, for example the Software
Defined Radio (SDR) Kit, additional thermalrelief is required to
keep the device below the maximum operating junctiontemperature of
85C specified by the Zynq-7000 All Programmable datasheet.This
document defines the procedure for adding the fan to the
ZedBoard.

- That will insure that air flows across the Zynq device. If you
arent surewhich way is correct, plug into the PMOD connector and
put your hand infront of the fan to determine which way the air
flows.
- Plug the connector into the top pins of the PMOD connector as
illustrated
in the picture
- The Red wire should connect to VCC, which is labeled in silk
screen onthe board, and the Black wire connects to Ground which is
also indicatedon the silkscreen. Once plugged in, no further action
is required. When the
