Teledyne PXP-100B User manual

Introduction
Teledyne LeCroy's PCI Express PXP-100B Test
Platform 16x2.5GT/s / 16x5.0GT/s provides a convenient,
powerful and flexible test platform for PCI Express devices
at data rates up to 5.0 GT/s and lane widths up to x16.
The Test Platform allows the Summit Z3-16 Exerciser to act
as a host system, enabling extensive protocol-level testing
of PCIe® devices.
For use as a host emulator, the Summit Z3-16 Exerciser is
plugged into any slot and connected to an external power
source. The DUT is plugged into the remaining available
slot, the PXP-100B provides the necessary power up to
75W per slot.
In addition to using the Test Platform with the Teledyne
LeCroy Summit Z3-16, the user can connect two of their
own devices and use the Test Platform as a PCIe
backplane by adding an interposer or using the built in
midbus footprint and using a midbus probe will allow an
analyzer to capture protocol traffic between the devices. PXP-100B PCI Express Test Platform

Installation
Follow the procedure below when using an interposer to analyze the traffic between two PCIe devices:
1. Remove the large thumbscrews attached to the base and then position the lower bracket.
2. Screw in lower bracket using 4 large thumbscrews.
3. Plug an interposer in the available slot.
4. Add small thumbscrew to attach interposer to lower bracket.
5. Install a DUT into second slot on PXP-100B and add second small thumbscrew to attach to lower bracket. Traffic from
this DUT will show as downstream in the CATC Trace.
6. Install the second DUT into upper connector on the interposer. Traffic from this DUT will show as upstream in the CATC
Trace.
7. Position and screw in the bracket extension using 4 small thumbscrews.
8. Add small thumbscrew to attach DUT to bracket extension.
9. Plug in analyzer cable.
