Test 7.5.1.4 - Connections through Expanders – OPEN SMP Initiator

Purpose: To determine that the DUT, an SMP Initiator, can properly open a connection through an expander to
transmit an SMP Request.

References:

7.12.1 SAS Standard

Resource Requirements: SAS Protocol Analyzer and Generator

Revision History: September 13, 2004

Test Setup: The DUT and the Testing Station are physically connected.

Test Procedure (SMP Initiator):

• The Testing Station should start and complete a Phy Reset sequence followed by an Identify sequence

with the DUT. Since the DUT is an initiator the Testing Station should transmit an Identify Address
frame indicating that it is an Fanout Expander.

• Wait for the DUT to open an SMP Connection to the Testing Station. Allow the DUT to transmit a

REPORT_GENERAL SMP Request. The Testing Station should respond on the same connection with
a REPORT_GENERAL SMP Response indicating that there is 1 attached Phy. Close the connection.

• Wait for the DUT to open an SMP Connection to the Testing Station. Allow the DUT to transmit a

DISCOVER SMP Request. The Testing Station should respond on the same connection with a
DISCOVER SMP Response providing a SAS address of one attached SMP Phy. Close the connection.

• Wait for the DUT to open an SMP connection to the Testing Station to the same address that was

provided by the Testing Station in the DISCOVER

• Before transmitting OPEN_ACCEPT the DUT should transmit AIP(NORMAL) followed by

AIP(WAITING ON DEVICE)

• Allow the DUT to transmit an SMP Request to the Testing Station.

• When the DUT transmits CLOSE (NORMAL) to close the connection, the Testing Station should

transmit CLOSE (NORMAL) in response.

Observable Results: Verify that the DUT successfully transmitted the SMP Request frame.
