Resource Requirements: SAS Protocol Analyzer and Generator. SAS Target.
Revision History: September 21, 2004
Test Setup: The DUT and the Testing Station are physically connected.
Test Procedure (SAS Expander or SMP Initiator):
• The Testing Station should start and complete a Phy Reset sequence followed by an Identify sequence
with the DUT. Since the DUT is an expander with an attached target the Testing Station should
transmit an Identify Address frame indicating that it is an Edge Expander, with an SMP Target.
• The DUT should open an SMP Connection to the Testing Station and transmit a REPORT_GENERAL
SMP Request. The Testing Station should transmit a REPORT_GENERAL SMP Response.
Observable Results: Verify that if the DUT transmits an SMP Request, which is formatted properly and it not
waiting on an interlocked frame.
