Installing the Interposer
To install the Interposer, perform the following steps.
Step 1 If not already powered off, power off the UPAS 100K Analyzer and the
DUTs.
Step 2 Insert the gold male connector on the Interposer probe into a x16
PCI Express slot in the motherboard.
Step 3 Insert the PCI Express DUT into the Interposer’s black female device
connector.
Step 4 The slot Interposer is shipped from LeCroy with a metal face plate for
attachment to a PC case. If you are working with a motherboard that is
not in a PC case, you may prefer to remove the metal face plate so the
Interposer can sit flat with the motherboard. To remove the face plate,
unscrew the two screws that hold it onto the Interposer.
Connecting the Probe Data Cable and USB Cable
To connect the Interposer data cable:
Step 1 Connect the two probe data cables to the Interposer card and to the
Analyzer. It does not matter which slot you plug the cables into on the
Analyzer as the direction of the data is determined automatically by the
software.
Step 2 Connect the provided USB cable between the UPAS 100K Analyzer and
the PC host system that runs the PETracer software.
Power On Analyzer and DUT
Step 1 Power on the UPAS 100K. The Analyzer's green Power LED lights, and
the red Status LED turns on for approximately 20 seconds while the
Analyzer performs self-diagnostics.
Step 2 After the Analyzer's red status LED turns off, power on the PCI Express
system under test.
Step 3 Open the PETracer EML software on the PC host system. The Analyzer
is now ready for PCI Express traffic recording.
