If I got it right those are custom build elink cables.

Posted: Fri Sep 06, 2013 9:01 pmConsider adding HDD/SSD solution. Either powered USB (user will need to buy SATA adapters), SATA interface with USB to SATA controller (this will spare some money comparing to buying adapters separately) or SATA interface connected to FPGA directly (full implementation may take about 5652 LUTs: http://www.xilinx.com/products/intellec ... 3RM31R.htm and possibly whould require sacrificing HDMI controller on z7010, but who needs HDMI on each cluster node?)

Posted: Tue Mar 18, 2014 8:32 pm@9600, this is an amazing idea and the suggestions have been wonderful, truly shows the potential of this forum. It is actually needed by a lot of people where I work and we use a lot of connectors that are grouped together which forms a badly formed cluster. This is definitely going to change that. One tiny suggestion though, please keep some space in the board for future modifications so that in case anyone has issues, the PCB could be modified a little without much change in mechanical measurements.
