Connecting to the DUT and Generating Traffic
The Summit Z58 PCI Express Protocol Exerciser can test both the host and device sides as well as performing analysis of a PCI Express link as explained
below:
For Motherboards and Host Controllers
1.
If not already powered off, power off the Summit Z58 and the DUT.
2.
Insert the Main Board portion of the Summit Z58 into a PCI Express slot in the DUT. (Skip the next set of steps and go to Power on).
For PCI Express Add-on Cards
1.
If not already powered off, power off the Summit Z58 and the PXP500 or Gen5 capable Test Platform and the DUT. For details of the operation of the
PXP500 refer to the PXP500 PCI Express Test Platform Quick Start Guide and User Manual.
2.
Insert the Main Board portion of the Summit Z58 into the PXP500 or Gen5 capable PCI Express Test Platform.
3.
Assemble completely the Summit Z58 according to above instructions (see See
).
4.
Insert the edge connector of the DUT into the remaining PXP500 or Gen5 capable PCI Express Test Platform slot.
Power on the Summit Z58 and then the DUT
Important
: Power on the Summit Z58 before you power on the DUT.
1.
Power on the Summit Z58.
2.
Open the PCIe Protocol Analysis application on the host machine. Configure the Summit Z58 to start proper traffic generation. See
Summit Z58 User
Manual
for details
.
3.
If testing a motherboard, power on the motherboard. If testing a DUT, power on the DUT.
Generating Traffic
(see
Summit Z58 User Manual for details)
1.
Use the default settings or set options in the Generation Options dialog box.
2.
Start the PCIe Protocol Analysis, 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 the 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 Summit Z58 using a USB connection:
1.
Install PCIe Protocol Analysis on the host machine.
2.
Connect the Power Adapter to a 100-volt to 240-volt, 50 Hz to 60 Hz,
220 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 Summit Z58 by plugging the 24-V DC power cable into
the Controller Card
and then pressing the power button
.
Note 1:
At power-on, the Summit Z58 initializes and performs a
self-diagnostic.
Note 2:
Using the USB Connection will connect the host to the Summit
Z58 automatically without using the Device Manager.
5.
The Summit Z58 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 Summit Z58 as a
USB device on your analyzing host machine. (The required USB
drivers are included with the software download 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 Z58.
