Test 7.5.1.3 - Connections through Expanders – OPEN STP Target
Purpose: To determine that the DUT, an STP Target, can properly open a connection through an expander to
transmit frames.

Revision History: April 12, 2005
Test Setup: The DUT and the Testing Station are physically connected. A SATA Target device is attached to the
DUT.
Test Procedure (STP Target):
• The Testing Station should start and complete a Phy Reset sequence and an Identify sequence with the
DUT. The Testing Station should indicate that it is an Edge Expander in the Identify sequence.
• The Testing Station should simulate an SMP Initiator attached to the Edge Expander and open an SMP
Connection to the DUT an transmit a REPORT_GENERAL SMP Request. The Testing Station should
transmit a REPORT_GENERAL SMP Response.
• The Testing Station should open an SMP Connection to the DUT and transmit a DISCOVER SMP
Request to the DUT Phy which is attached to the SATA Device Port. The Testing Station should
transmit a DISCOVER SMP Response with this information.
• The Testing Station should open an STP Connection to the DUT for the attached SATA Device Port
and transmit an IDENTIFY DEVICE command, then close the connection.
• The Testing Station should wait for the DUT to transmit an OpenAddress frame for an STP
connection. The Testing Station should respond to the OpenAddress frame with OPEN_ACCEPT.
Observable Results: Verify that the DUT successfully transmitted the response to the IDENTIFY DEVICE
command and completed with status OK.
