Power and Reset Push Button with LED indicator:
Normal press: Power On or shut down the unit.
Long press: If the button is pressed for at least 4 seconds, the unit will shut down.
Integrated LED
Green: The unit is On
Black (unlit): The unit is Off
Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module connectors: Provide high-speed communication links between other FPGA simulators or third-party devices.
Each socket controls one communication link.
CH00 through CH03 are reserved to expand an OPAL-RT’s simulator I/O capability using OPAL-RT’s Multi-System Expansion link (MuSE). NOTE: Feature available in Q1-2025.
CH04 through CH11 are compatible with the legacy generic Aurora link.
SFP transceivers and fiber-optic cables must be selected (and purchased separately) according to the type and speed of the communication protocol.
Note: MuSE link requires specific SFP transceivers and optical fiber cables:SFP: Avago AFBR-57R5APZ
Cable: LC-LC multimode 850 nm optical fiber

TX/RX Fiber-Optic Connectors (square connectors):
Synchronizes time steps between systems and includes high-speed FPGA pulses
Compatible with OPAL-RT XG series of real-time simulators: OP4610XG, OP5033XG, OP5705XG, and OP5707XG.
IRIG-B or 1PPS (future use)
USB port for JTAG programming
FPGA status LED indicators:
POWER: Unit is On and all internal power are correct
STATUS: FPGA status
Solid green: User bitstream FPGA is programmed
Blink green: Safe bitstream FPGA is programmed
Off: FPGA programming error
SYNC: Synchronization status
Solid green: RX and TX synchronization are OK
Blink green: RX and TX synchronization are OK, but timestep is very long
Off: No synchronization
USER: User-defined LED
Can be programmed to solid green, blinking green or off
