Inspect the Board
Place the board on an anti-static surface and inspect it to ensure that it has
not been damaged during shipment.

Express development board can be damaged.
Verify that all components are on the board and appear intact.

In typical applications with the PCI Express development board,
a heatsink is not necessary. However under extreme conditions
the board may require the use of additional cooling to stay
within operating temperature guidelines. Power consumption
and thermal modeling should be done to determine whether
additional cooling is necessary. In the event that it is, a
heatsink/fan combination has been provided for your
convenience.
