Exerciser Card - Front

Power Socket: For the 12 V DC Power Adapter
USB Type B Host Machine Connector: Links an Exerciser to the

host machine for the purpose of downloading scripts and
controlling the behavior of the Exerciser. Note: Use either USB or
Ethernet, not both.

Ethernet Port: GIGE Connectivity allows connection to an
Ethernet network and sharing of Analyzer/Exerciser resources by
multiple engineers. Note: Use either USB or Ethernet, not both.

x16 PCIe Edge Connector: Use the Edge Adapters to connect to
x8, x4, or x1 slots.

Exerciser Card - Rear

Power LED: On/Off
Train LED: Indicates whether the link is TRAINED or not.
Transmitter and Receiver LEDs: 16 LEDs for Transmitting lanes

and 16 LEDs for Receiving lanes, with Green = no error and
Yellow = error.

Speed LEDs: 3 LEDs indicate operating speed: 8 GT/s for Gen3,
5 GT/s for Gen2, and 2.5 GT/s for Gen1.

PCIe Gen1/2/3 Test Platform

AC Power Connector: Operates at 100-240 V, 50-60 Hz, 500 W.
Power Switch: On/Off switch.
DUT PCIe x16 Connector: Supplies 3.3 V up to 3 A and 12 V up

to 5.5 A.
Summit Z3-16 Exerciser Power Connector: 2-pin DC power
connector to provide power for Summit Z3
Reference Clock In Connector: Connects external reference

clock source, selectable by an external clock selection switch.
Clock is delivered to both PCIe slots.

Reference Clock Out Connector: Provides external reference
clock output.
Summit Z3-16 Slot Connector: Powered by PCIe Gen1/2/3 Test
Platform. Can be used with other equipment.
DUT Slot Connector: The DUT Power switch controls power to
this slot and to auxiliary power.

DUT Power Connector: 6-pin power connector supplies 12 V up
to 6.25 A for graphics cards (cable provided). 8-pin power
connector supplies 12 V up to 12.5 A for graphics cards (cable
provided).

Output Connectors: 2 output iPass connectors for use with
Protocol Analyzer

To Analyzer (15:8) Connector: Connects to Summit T3-16
Analyzer (lanes 15:8). This is an optional connection for users
adding a Summit T3-16 Analyzer to their setup.

To Analyzer (7:0) Connector: Connects to Summit T3-16
Analyzer (lanes 7:0). This is an optional connection for users
adding a Summit T3-16 Analyzer to their setup.

DUT PRSN LEDs: 4 LEDs indicate whether x1, x4, x8, or x16
signals are present.
Power Monitor LEDs: 2 LEDs monitor power to lower PCIe slot:

3.3 V or 12 V.
Auxiliary DUT Power LEDs: 2 LEDs monitor power to the DUT:

3.3 V or 12 V.
System Power On/Off Switch: Powers the PCIe Gen1/2/3 Test
Platform on or off.
SSC Switch: When using the internal reference clock, turns

Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) on or off. If using external
reference clock, switch has no effect.

Reference Clock Switch: Selects the internal or external clock.
Clock is delivered to both PCIe slots.
DUT Power Switch: Switches both auxiliary and slot DUT power
on or off.

Reset Bus Button: Emulates PE reset.
