IBTracer 4X Protocol Analyzer User’s Manual CATC SW Version 2.3
2. Quick Installation
IBTracer 4X is a factory-installed hardware module that is sold as part of
the CATC Universal Protocol Analyzer System 10000 (UPAS).
The UPAS 10000 together with the IBTracer 4X module and associated
software are easily installed on most Windows-based personal computer
systems. You can begin making InfiniBand™ recordings after following
these initial steps. However, if you are unsure about what to do after reading
the Quick Installation instructions, or if your analyzer does not work after
you follow these instructions, read through the sections in this manual.
2.1 PC Requirements
IBTracer 4X is administered by a PC. This PC needs to have the following
features in order to be able to communicate with the Analyzer:
• A USB port (USB 2.0 recommended). All communications between the
PC and the analyzer pass across a USB cable. If the PC is being used only
as a trace viewer, then the USB port is not necessary.
• Microsoft Windows 98SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, or
Windows XP for recording and viewing traffic.
• Physical RAM should be a minimum of 128 MB. The amount you use
should be at least equal to the amount of your largest recording. For
example, if you plan to make 2-Gbyte recordings, then your PC should
have 2048 MB of RAM.
2.2 Setting Up the Analyzer
Step 1 Remove the IBTracer 4X/UPAS from its shipping container.
The IBTracer 4X module will already be installed in the UPAS.
Step 2
Connect the AC power cable to the rear of the UPAS.
Step 3
Connect the USB cable between the USB port on the back of the
Analyzer and a USB port on the PC.
Step 4
Turn on the power switch located on the rear of the Analyzer.
Step 5
Insert the IBTracer 4X CD into the PC that will be controlling the
analyzer.
Step 6 Follow on-screen Plug-and-Play instructions for the automatic
installation of the IBTracer Analyzer as a USB device on your PC
(the IBTracer CD includes the required USB files).
