Actions Pane
The Actions pane in the Transition Editor defines the actions that will be performed during a
transition. When a transition is highlighted, the action and its parameter are listed. For example,
Transition To State1 .
The icons in the Actions pane are only available for 6G SAS/SATA, 12G SAS, and PCIe ports.
The icons are active when a transition is highlighted. If an action does not apply to the selected
transition, the icon for that action is grayed out. The following action icons are available.
Remove Action This button deletes the selected item from the Actions pane.
Trigger
This button designates the selected transition as the trigger.
Transition To This button allows you to select another state to transition to or create a new
state to transition to.
Pulse Intra Chassis Signal Selecting Intra Chassis Signal #1 or #2 in a link sends a signal
that can be picked up by the ports in another link when this transition occurs. To use this option,
select a transition bubble, click the
Pulse Intra Chassis Signal button in the Actions pane, and
select either #1 or #2. When the transition occurs in the first link, a signal is sent out and picked up
by the second link, and the two links transition in sync.
When the Pulse Intra Chassis Signal option is selected for a transition, the Action in the
Actions
pane will read “Pulse Intra Chassis Signal”.

• Stop When Stop Button is Clicked (no trigger condition)

• Arm, Trigger or Rollback (three-state triggering)
• Advanced (multi-state triggering)
Note: The Advanced menu item is only available for 6G SAS/SATA, 12G SAS, and PCIe
ports. This menu item is not visible for domains with mixed ports. All ports in a domain must
be 6G SAS/SATA, 12G SAS, or PCIe for this menu item to be visible.
