Exerciser Card - Front
Power Socket
: For the 12 V DC Power Adapter
USB Type B Host Machine Connector
: Links an Exerciser to the
host machine for the purpose of downloading scripts and
controlling the behavior of the Exerciser.
Note
: Use either USB or
Ethernet, not both.
Ethernet Port
: GIGE Connectivity allows connection to an
Ethernet network and sharing of Analyzer/Exerciser resources by
multiple engineers. Note: Use either USB or Ethernet, not both.
x16 PCIe Edge Connector
: Use the Edge Adapters to connect to
x8, x4, or x1 slots.

PCIe Gen1/2/3 Test Platform
AC Power Connector
: Operates at 100-240 V, 50-60 Hz, 500 W.
Power Switch:
On/Off switch.
DUT PCIe x16 Connector
: Supplies 3.3 V up to 3 A and 12 V up
to 5.5 A.
Summit Z3-16 Exerciser Power Connector
: 2-pin DC power
connector to provide power for Summit Z3
Reference Clock In Connector:
Connects external reference
clock source, selectable by an external clock selection switch.
Clock is delivered to both PCIe slots.
Reference Clock Out Connector
: Provides external reference
clock output.
Summit Z3-16 Slot Connector
: Powered by PCIe Gen1/2/3 Test
Platform. Can be used with other equipment.
DUT Slot Connector
: The DUT Power switch controls power to
this slot and to auxiliary power.
DUT Power Connector
: 6-pin power connector supplies 12 V up
to 6.25 A for graphics cards (cable provided). 8-pin power
connector supplies 12 V up to 12.5 A for graphics cards (cable
provided).
Output Connectors
: 2 output iPass connectors for use with
Protocol Analyzer
To Analyzer (15:8) Connector
: Connects to Summit T3-16
Analyzer (lanes 15:8). This is an optional connection for users
adding a Summit T3-16 Analyzer to their setup.
To Analyzer (7:0) Connector
: Connects to Summit T3-16
Analyzer (lanes 7:0). This is an optional connection for users
adding a Summit T3-16 Analyzer to their setup.
DUT PRSN LEDs
: 4 LEDs indicate whether x1, x4, x8, or x16
signals are present.
Power Monitor LEDs
: 2 LEDs monitor power to lower PCIe slot:
3.3 V or 12 V.
Auxiliary DUT Power LEDs
: 2 LEDs monitor power to the DUT:
3.3 V or 12 V.
System Power On/Off Switch
: Powers the PCIe Gen1/2/3 Test
Platform on or off.
SSC Switch
: When using the internal reference clock, turns
Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) on or off. If using external
reference clock, switch has no effect.
Reference Clock Switch
: Selects the internal or external clock.
Clock is delivered to both PCIe slots.
DUT Power Switch
: Switches both auxiliary and slot DUT power
on or off.
Reset Bus Button
: Emulates PE reset.
