Any discharge greater than this can damage or effectively destroy such a device while
going unnoticed by a technician. Common plastics (synthetic insulating materials),
clothing, and paper or cardboard are the most common source of static charges.

Xgig1000 Systems

Xgig1000 Systems
The Xgig1000 Distributed Systems for Monitoring, Analysis, andTesting are multi-purpose
systems designed for product development, field service, and network operations
personnel. These chassis are benchsetups but can be rack mounted. You can place them
at your data center or anywhere on your network. The Xgig1000 chassis can also be
directly connected to a PC to create a portable instrument for test or analysis.
The Xgig1000 systems can be accessed remotely using a LAN connection and software
to perform tasks. System administration and configuration can be performed over the
network.
Xgig1000 12G SAS Chassis
The Xgig1000 12G SAS is a fixed blade chassis that houses one Xgig 12G SAS blade with
8 ports (four links) that support the Analyzer, Generator, and Jammer functions in Analog
Passthrough mode only. The line rates supported are 3.0000, 6.0000, and 12.0000 Gbps.
This fixed-blade system does not require or accept Xgig or Xgig5000 blades. The 12G
SAS blade in the chassis is designed for use with the SAS-3 protocol. The 12G SAS blade
also supports the SATA protocol at 6.0000 Gbps and 3.0000 Gbps. Xgig provides the
necessary software tools running in a PC environment to perform the application task
using the blade fixed within the chassis.
The Xgig1000 12G SAS chassis is shown in Figure 1.
NOTE
There are two generations of Xgig1000 chassis.
– The first generation does not have a power switch on the back of the chassis.
– The second generation has a power switch on the back of the chassis and comes
with a USB System Recovery Drive. This guide assumes you are using a second
generation chassis. Early versions of the second generation chassis require that
the Front Panel Reset button be pressed when the chassis is initially powered up.
However, later versions do not require the Front Panel Reset button to be pressed
when initially powered up.
The primary difference in the instructions is in the start up and shutdown sequences.
The troubleshooting chapter in this guide is designed for the new generation chassis
and includes instructions for the use of the USB System Recovery Drive.
Troubleshooting information for first generation chassis is located in the appendix.

Management Port
The Management port provides a connection to the 10/100/1000 network or a direct
connection to a PC's 10/100/1000 Ethernet adapter. The Management port is used for the
following:
•Configuring the Xgig1000 chassis using the Xgig Web Utility
•Controlling the operation of Xgig application-specific blades
•Retrieving data collected by Xgig application-specific blades
Console Port
The Console port is a 9-pin serial port onthe back of the chassis. The Console port is used
for the following:
•Configuring the Xgig1000 chassis
•Minor troubleshooting
•Selecting the Xgig1000 boot image (this functionality is not available through the
Console port for second generation chassis. Instead, these chassis use the USB
system recovery drive.)
•Basic administration
The Console port can be used for all system configuration through a command line inter-
face. Configuration commands are passed to Xgig by connecting the Console port to a
terminal or to a PC with a terminal emulation program using a cross-over cable. However,
configuration is usually performed using the Xgig Web Utility over the internet through the
10/100/1000 Ethernet management port.
Trigger/TTL Ports
The TTL Input and TTL Output ports provide a means of sending or receiving an electrical
signal between the Xgig and other instruments for triggering purposes.
The trigger-out pulse is approximately 200ns wide, active-high, LVTTL (3.3V). The trigger-
in can handle 3.3V or 5.0V inputs, also active-high. Use 50 ohm cables with these ports.
Cascade Ports
The Cascade In and Cascade Out ports provide a means of time-synchronizing up to four
Xgig, Xgig5000, and/or Xgig1000 chassis. Cascade Ports are used to share domains and
send triggers between chassis.
