Analyzer Hardware Description
Avalanche
System
The LeCroy Avalanche system is a compact package that provides ports on the front to
connect to SAS or SATA initiators and targets, and rear connections including power and
USB (to host PC). The front panel also contains arrays of indicator LEDs, both for the
status of the four initiators and four targets, and also for the analyzer functions.
The SAS/SATA ports are "MiniSAS" connectors that can use either MiniSAS-to-MiniSAS
cables or can use an "octopus" cable that breaks out the MiniSAS connector to individual
device connectors. Up to four links are supported between targets and initiators.
