Summit T28 Components
Summit T28 components used in the installation are:
 iPass Y‐Cable: The cable supports eight lanes from two directions. Side A of the
probe cable connects to the Upstream port on the Analyzer (on the left in the
photo above), and Side B of the probe cable connects to the Downstream port
(on the right).
 Summit T28 x16 Slot Gen2 Active Interposer: The slot Interposer provides the
point of attachment for the Analyzer to the Device Under Test (DUT). The Inter‐
poser is designed to fit between a motherboard and one of its device cards ‐ for
example, a LAN card. The Interposer has three sets of connectors: a gold male
connector that fits into a standard x8 PCI Express slot on a motherboard, a PCIe
female connector that accepts a x8 PCI Express device, and two Interposer cable
connectors that connect the Interposer to the Analyzer.
Note: Edge reducers are required for lane widths less than x8.
