Avalanche LED Descriptions
The Status and Speed LEDs indicate the status of each link, as follows:
•
The STATUS LED is green when receiving a frame, red when errors are
found, and mixed color (1/2 green, 1/2 red) during OOB. Otherwise, the LED
is off.
•
The SPEED LED is green for 6Gb/s traffic, mixed color (1/2 green, 1/2 yellow)
for 3 Gb/s traffic, and yellow for 1.5 Gb/s traffic (or off if no traffic is detected
on that link)
The System LEDs indicate the status of the protocol analyzer, as follows:
•
The TRIG/ERR RIGHT LED is green if the system is triggered, red if either
Link 1 or Link 2 have a system error; and off otherwise.
•
The REC/UPLOAD RIGHT LED is red if either Link 1 or 2 is recording, green
if either Link1 or Link 2 are uploading, and off otherwise.
•
The TRIG/ERR LEFT LED is green if the system is triggered, red if either Link
3 or Link 4 have a system error, and off otherwise.
•
The REC/UPLOAD LEFT LED is red if either Link 3 or Link 4 is recording,
green if either Link 3 or Link 4 are uploading, and off otherwise.
Note: In the descriptions above, "Link 1" refers to the link between Initiator
1 (I1) and Target 1 (T1), "Link 2" refers to the link between I2 and T2,
etc. The designation "Left" or "Right" is used since the Avalanche
system includes dual BusEngines, one of which (right side)
processes traffic from Link 1 and Link 2, while the other (left side)
processes traffic from Link 3 and Link 4.
Avalanche Rear Panel Connectors
The rear panel of the Avalanche System provides the following connectors:
•
POWER IN (to be supplied using the Adapter provided with the Avalanche
System)
•
USB (to provide a connection to the host PC system running the SASSuite
application software)
•
DATA IN/OUT (This connector links a 25 pin RS-232 cable to an external
breakout board. The breakout board allows signals to be sent from the
analyzer to an external device such as an oscilloscope or from an external
device to the analyzer for the purpose of triggering on an external input. You
configure input/output signalling through the Recording Options dialog box.
Breakout board use is described at the end of this chapter.)
•
SYNC OUT and SYNC IN (provides the capability to link up to 8 Avalanche
Systems together to form a single system supporting up to 32
time-synchronized links)
•
EXT OUT and EXT IN (SMA connectors which provide signal connections to
the Avalanche system from an external device, or to cause the Avalanche
system to signal an external device)
