Installing the Gen2 Active Interposer
To install the Interposer, perform the following steps.
Step 1 Insert the gold male connector on the Interposer probe into a
x16 PCI Express slot in the motherboard. Use edge adapters for x1, x4,
and x8 slots.
Step 2 Insert the PCI Express DUT into the Interposer’s black female device
connector.
Step 3 The slot Interposer is shipped from Teledyne 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
x8 recordings require one cable. To connect a single Interposer data cable, connect the
probe data cable to the Interposer card at [7:0]. Connect Side A of the probe cable to the
Upstream [7:0] port on the Analyzer, and connect Side B of the probe cable to the
Downstream [7:0] port.
x16 recordings require two cables. Connect the second probe data cable to the
Interposer card at [15:8]. Connect Side A of the second probe cable to the Upstream
[15:8] port on the Analyzer, and connect Side B of the second probe cable to the
Downstream [15:8] port.
Power On Analyzer and then DUT
Important: Power on the Analyzer before you power on the DUT.
Step 1 Power on the Summit T2-16 Analyzer.
Step 2 Power on the DUT.
Step 3 Open the PETracer software on the host machine. The Analyzer is now
ready for PCI Express traffic recording.
