Introduction

The FS2010 is a 32/64 bit, 0 to 133Mhz PCI-X State and Timing adapter probe for use with Agilent logic analyzers. This card has a universal card edge connector and a 3.3v extender card connector. The FS2010 PCI-X State/Timing adapter probe and extender card performs three functions.

• The first is to act as an extender card, physically extending a module up approximately 1.5 inches from the motherboard connector.

• The second is to provide a complete timing analysis interface between any PCI-X add-in slot and Agilent Logic Analyzers.

• The third is to provide a complete state analysis interface and software decode of the PCI-X traffic between any PCI-X add-in slot and Agilent Logic Analyzers.

The State/Timing Adapter Probe interface is a passive bus monitor which does not assert any signals on the PCI-X bus. Because the FS2010 interface does not actively buffer the PCI-X bus signals, negligible skew is introduced.

How to Use This Manual

The configuration software on the diskette sets up the format menu of the logic analyzer for compatibility with your PCI-X bus.

This manual is organized to help you quickly find the information you need.

• Analyzing the PCI-X Local Bus chapter introduces you to the FS2010 and lists the minimum equipment required and accessories supplied for PCI-X bus analysis.

• The State Analysis chapter explains how to configure the FS2010 to perform state analysis on your PCI-X bus.

• The Timing Analysis chapter explains how to configure the FS2010 to perform timing analysis on your PCI-X bus.

• The General Information chapter provides information on the operating characteristics, the test point and cable header pinout and the mechanical drawing for the FS2010 module.

Analyzing the PCI-X Local Bus

This chapter introduces you to the FS2010 and lists the minimum equipment required and accessories supplied for PCI-X Local Bus analysis. This chapter also contains information that is common to both state and timing analysis.

Accessories Supplied

Minimum Equipment Required

The FS2010 product consists of the following accessories:

• The FS2010 probe.

• 1 Diskette containing the configuration files and the FS2010 PCI-X

decoder for 167xx analyzer.

• A CD containing the setup file to install the configuration files and protocol decoder on the 1680/90/900 analyzer or to use as an offline viewer.

• This operating manual on CD, Quick Start sheet, and SW Entitlement certificates for the software.

The minimum equipment required for analysis of a PCI-X Local Bus consists of the following equipment:

• Agilent 16700 analysis frame with the 16715 analyzer card or better.

• Revision 2.80.00 or better of the Agilent Logic analysis frame

software.

• 1680/90/900 Logic analyzer or PC containing Agilent 1680/90/900 OS version 3.00.00 or better.

• The FS2010 Product

• A PCI-X target bus

Additional Equipment Required

The type of logic analyzer card used will determine the correct type of termination adapter needed. For analyzer cards that use the 40 pin header, 1671x, 1674x, 16750/1/2, 1691x you will need the E5385A (FuturePlus number is FS1015) termination adapter cables. For analyzer cards that use the 90 pin header, 16753/4/5/6, 1695x you will need the E5378A (FuturePlus number is FS1014) termination adapter. A total of 3 adapter cables are required for 64 bit data width capture.

Signal Naming Conventions

Determining which logic analyzer card is the Master

This operating manual uses the same signal notation as the PCI-X LOCAL BUS SPECIFICATION - REVISION 1.0 That is, a # symbol at the end of a signal name indicates that the signal’s active state occurs when it is at a low voltage. The absence of a # symbol indicates that the signal is active at a high voltage.

When connecting the logic analyzer cards to the FS2010 it is necessary to know which logic analyzer card in which slot has been configured as the Master and which one has been configured as the Expander. Refer to the SYSTEM view of your 1670x or 1690x mainframe to determine how the cards have been configured.

The following explains how to connect the logic analyzer to the FS2010 for either state or timing analysis:

1. Connect the logic analyzer PODs 3 adapter cables, either the

E5378A or E5385A depending on the logic analyzer cards used.

2. Plug the Adapter cables into the probe as shown in the table

How to install a PCI-X add-in card into the FS2010

System operation with the PCI-X add-in card

The card edge connector of the FS2010 module can accommodate one 64 or 32 bit 3.3V PCI-X add-in card. To install simply align the module with the connector and gently push the module in until it is seated in the connector. There is sufficient clearance for the add-in card front plate. The FS2010/PCI-X add-in card combination can then be installed in any slot of the PCI-X Local bus.

When removing the PCI-X add-in card from the card edge extender connector grasp the FS2010 with one hand and the PCI-X add-in card with the other. Gently rock the PCI-X add-in card until it is free from the connector.

The nature of an extender card is that it extends the etch length of the bus. Due to the sensitivity of some PCI-X designs, extending the etch length can interfere with the PCI-X add-in card operation. Operation of the PCI-X add-in card when installed in the card edge extender connector is not guaranteed.

Setting up the 167xx Analyzer

167xx Licensing

To install the FS2010 software, insert the diskette labeled 16700/702 Installation disk for the FS2010 into the Agilent 16700 diskette drive. From the SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION TOOLS select INSTALL under SOFTWARE. From the SOFTWARE INSTALL screen select the FLEXIBLE DISK and APPLY. Once the title appears select it and then select INSTALL.

This procedure does not need to be repeated. It only needs to be done the first time the PCI-X Analysis Probe is used.

When this has completed, load the appropriate configuration file from the /configs/FuturePlus/FS2010 directory. Refer to the table on the following pages for a list of analyzers and corresponding configuration files.

The FS2010 product is a licensed product, which is locked to a single Agilent 1670x frame. Complete instructions for licensing this software are detailed on the Entitlement Certificate that is enclosed with this product.

The licensing area for the 1670x mainframe is found under System Administration.
