Chapter 4, Xgig TraceControl Capture Configuration

Xgig Analyzer User’s Guide

97

  

The Xgig1000 systems with 16G FC functionality support a link speed of 4.2500, 8.5000, or 
14.0250 Gbps. It also includes an Auto option for ports used in Analog Passthrough. This is the 
default setting. The auto-detect option automatically detects the link speed when the analyzer is 
idle. Once a capture is started, the auto-detect feature does not change the current analyzer speed if 
the link does change. The data rate will be fixed by the analyzer during capture. 

SAS/SATA Link Speeds

For 3G SAS/SATA blades, the link speed can be set to 

1.5000 Gbps

, 

3.0000 Gbps

, or 

Auto

. For 

example, select the 

3.0000 Gbps

 option from the pull-down menu to set the link speed to 3.0000 

Gbps. 

For 6G SAS/SATA blades and systems, the link speed can be set to the highest rate supported by 
the blade containing the ports, a supported lower rate, or one of the 

Auto

 selections. The Xgig 6G 

SAS/SATA Wide-Port/4x Blade, the 6G SAS/SATA Narrow blade, and the LX and LXP fixed-port 
systems support 1.5000 Gbps, 3.0000 Gbps, and 6.0000 Gbps. For example, select the 

3.0000 

Gbps SAS

 option from the 

Link Speed

 pull-down menu to set the link speed to 3.0000 Gbps. 

These blades and systems also have an auto-detect option, which will automatically detect the idle 
link speed between 1.5000 Gbps, 3.0000 Gbps, and 6.0000 Gbps. 

The Auto options available for 6G SAS/SATA blades and systems are 

SAS 6/3/1.5G & SATA 3/

1.5G 

and 

SATA 6/3G.

 For the 

Auto

 options, no actual negotiation or handshake takes place 

between the analyzer and any external device – the blade ports merely detect the data speed from 
the speed negotiation sequence happening on the idle link. The 

Auto

 options can automatically 

determine the idle link speed only if the Xgig ports see the link initialization activities that take 
place (for example, OOB and speed negotiation events). If link initialization sequence does not 
happen while an 

Auto

 option is set, the blade will retain its existing speed. For example, select the 

1.5000 Gbps option for the Link Speed in the TraceControl Configuration window to set the link 
speed to 1.5000 Gbps. Then select the 

Auto (SAS 6/3/1.5G & SATA 3/1.5G) 

option for the Link 

Speed. If no link initialization happens, the speed of the blade will still be 1.5000 Gbps. The 
auto-detect option automatically detects the link speed when the analyzer is idle. Once a capture is 
started, the auto-detect feature does not change the current analyzer speed if the link does change. 
The data rate will be fixed by the analyzer during capture. 

For 12G SAS blades, the link speed can be set to the highest rate supported by the blade containing 
the ports, a supported lower rate, or one of the 

Auto

 selections. The Xgig5000 12G SAS Wide Port 

blade and the Xgig1000 12G SAS blade support a link speed 3.0000, 6.0000, or 12.0000 Gbps. 
These blades and systems also have an auto-detect option, which will automatically detect the idle 
link speed between 3.0000 Gbps, 6.0000 Gbps, and 12.0000 Gbps.

The Auto options available for 12G SAS blades are 

Auto (SAS 12/6G)

, 

Auto (SAS 12/6/3G)

, and

 

Auto (SAS 6/3G)

.
