Connecting to the DUT and Generating Traffic
The Summit Z3-16 Exerciser Card can test both the host and device sides of a PCI Express link using the card alone or with the
Test Platform.
For Motherboards and Host Controllers
1.
If not already powered off, power off the Summit Z3-16 Exerciser Card and the DUT.
2.
Insert the edge connector into a PCI Express slot in the DUT. To connect to a x1, x4, or x8 slot, use an Edge Adapter.
For PCI Express Add-on Cards
1.
If not already powered off, power off the Summit Z3-16 Exerciser Card, PCIe Gen1/2/3 Test Platform, and the DUT.
2.
Insert the Exerciser Card into the PCIe Gen1/2/3 Test Platform.
3.
Insert the male edge connector of the DUT into the PCI Express slot.
Power on the Exerciser and then DUT
Important
: Power on the Exerciser Card before you power on the DUT.
1. Power on the Exerciser Card.
2. If testing a motherboard, power on the motherboard.
3. Open the PCIe Protocol Analysis application on the host machine. The Exerciser is now ready for traffic generation.
Generating Traffic
1.
Use the default settings or set options in the Generation Options dialog box (see
Summit Z3-16 User Manual
).
2.
Start the PCIe Protocol Analysis
™
software, if necessary, and open an existing script file or create a new script.
3.
Start generation by clicking the
Start Traffic Generation
button on the Status bar. This action causes the software to download the
script to the device. After download completes, the device starts executing the script. As the script executes, the Status bar displays
script progress.
Note
: Script execution can be terminated at any time by clicking the
Stop Generation
button on the toolbar.
Using a USB Connection
To set up the Exerciser using a USB connection:
1.
Install PCIe Protocol Analysis on the host machine.
2.
Connect the Exerciser to a 100-volt to 240-volt, 50 Hz to
60 Hz, 120 W power outlet using the provided power cord.
3.
Connect the USB port to a USB port on the host machine
using a USB cable.
4.
Power on the Exerciser by plugging the 12-V DC power cable
into the Exerciser Card and then into the PCIe Gen1/2/3 Test
Platform.
Note:
At power-on, the Exerciser initializes and performs a
self-diagnostic.
5.
Summit Z3 will be recognized by the host machine as a USB
device.
Follow the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
on-screen Plug-and-Play
instructions for the automatic installation of the Exerciser as a
USB device on your analyzing host machine. (The required
USB drivers are included on the Installation DVD and were
installed on your system when you installed the software.)
Click
Finish
when you see the message that says “Windows
has finished installing the software that your new hardware
requires” and the file has been installed in your host machine.
6.
Start the PCIe Protocol Analysis, so you can start working
with Summit Z3.
