Introduction
Use this document for quick installation and setup.
Teledyne LeCroy’s SFF-8639 dual-port interposer card provides a quick and simple means for protocol analysis of Solid
State Drives (SSDs) based on PCI Express (PCIe®) protocols. The SFF-8639 Interposer dual-port Card, used with a Summit
Protocol Analyzer, enables PCIe bus traffic between a host backplane and SSD device to be monitored, captured, and
recorded for protocol analysis. The card is compatible with the Summit T3-16, Summit T3-8, Summit T28 and Summit T24
Protocol Analyzers and supports data rates of 2.5 GT/s, 5 GT/s and 8 GT/s.

Perform to the following steps to connect the Interposer (see the image below):
1. Set the SW1 DIP switches to the desired clock selection.
Note: “REF_CLK_A” should be the default setting unless you are using an external clock reference source.
2. Install the SFF-8639 device under test (DUT) into the connector on the interposer as shown (fits 2.5" or 3" drives).
3. Connect the Summit T3-8 Analyzers (or other compatible Teledyne LeCroy analyzers) to the interposer using the system iPass cables. One analyzer
should be connected to the port marked "SCSI Express/NMVe Port A" and the second analyzer should be connected to the port marked SCSI
Express/NVMe Port B. If using Summit T24 analyzers, use the x4-to-x8 straight iPass cable (PE013UCA-X). For all other Summit analyzers, use the
iPass Y-Cable (PE010UCA-X).
4. Connect the analyzers to a host computer system using the USB ports on the Summit analyzers.
5. If not already done, install the PETracer software on the host machine.
6. Connect 12V DC using the AC adapter supplied with the interposer. (Make sure that the AC adapter is powered on).
7. Power on the analyzers.
8. Power on the host machine.
9. Launch the Teledyne LeCroy software application to monitor, record and view PCI Express traffic passing through the SFF-8639 Interposer.
10. Install the Interposer into the host system connector.
Note: The sequence of operations shown here is for "hot plug" operations where the host system powering the SFF-8639 host slot remains powered on.
For test applications where this is not required, assemble the components as indicated (including plugging the interposer into the host slot), then
power on all components (interposer, analyzers, and host machine for PETracer software) before powering on the SFF-8639 host slot.
