Using Interposers Teledyne LeCroy
Installing the Gen2 Active Interposer
To install the Interposer, perform the following steps.
1. Insert the gold male connector on the Interposer probe into a x8 PCI Express slot in
the motherboard. Use edge adaptors for x1 and x4 slots.
2. Insert the PCI Express DUT into the Interposer’s PCIe female device connector.
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.
Power On Analyzer and then DUT
1. Power on the Summit T28 Analyzer.
2. Power on the DUT.
3. Open the PETracer software on the host machine. The Analyzer is now ready for
PCI Express traffic recording.
