Chapter 1 Xgig1000 System Overview

Xgig1000 Systems

The Xgig1000 Distributed Systems for Monitoring, Analysis, and Testing are multi-purpose systems designed for product development, field service, and network operations personnel. These chassis are bench setups but can be rack mounted. You can place them at your data center or anywhere on your network. The Xgig1000 chassis can also be directly connected to a PC to create a portable instrument for test or analysis.

The Xgig1000 systems can be accessed remotely using a LAN connection and software to perform tasks. System administration and configuration can be performed over the network.

NOTE

There are two generations of Xgig1000 chassis.

– The first generation does not have a power switch on the back of the chassis. – The second generation has a power switch on the back of the chassis and comes

with a USB System Recovery Drive. This guide assumes you are using a second generation chassis. Early versions of the second generation chassis require that the Front Panel Reset button be pressed when the chassis is initially powered up. However, later versio ns do not require the Front Panel Reset button to be pressed when initially powered up.

The primary difference in the instructions is in the start up and shutdown sequences. The troubleshooting chapter in this guide is designed for the new generation chassis and includes instructions for the use of the USB System Recovery Drive. Troubleshooting information for first generation chassis is located in the appendix.

Xgig1000 12G SAS Chassis

The Xgig1000 12G SAS is a fixed blade chassis that houses one Xgig 12G SAS blade with 8 ports (four links) that support the Analyzer, Generator, and Jammer functions in Analog Passthrough mode only . Th e line rates supported are 3.0000, 6 .0000, and 12.0000 Gbp s. This fixed-blade system does not require or accept Xgig or Xgig5000 blades. The 12G SAS blade in the chassis is designed for use with the SAS-3 protocol. The 12G SAS blade also supports the SATA protocol at 6.0000 Gbps and 3.0000 Gbps. Xgig provides the necessary software tools running in a PC environment to perform the application task using the blade fixed within the chassis.

The Xgig1000 12G SAS chassis is shown in Figure 1.

Xgig1000 12G SAS Chassis

12G SAS System Ports/Connections/Front Panel Reset Button

Management Port

The Management port provides a connection to the 10/100/1000 network or a direct connection to a PC's 10/100/1000 Ethernet adapter . The Management port is used for the following:

• Configuring the Xgig1000 chassis using the Xgig Web Utility

• Controlling the operation of Xgig application-specific blades

• Retrieving data collected by Xgig application-specific blades

Console Port

The Console port is a 9-pin serial port on the back of the chassis. The Console port is used for the following:

• Configuring the Xgig1000 chassis

• Minor troubleshooting

• Selecting the Xgig1000 boot image (this functionality is not available through the

Console port for second generation chassis. Instead, these chassis use the USB system recovery drive.)

• Basic administration The Console port can be used for all system configuration through a command line inter-

face. Configuration commands are passed to Xgig by connecting the Console port to a terminal or to a PC with a terminal emulation program using a cross-over cable. However , configuration is usually performed using the Xgig Web Utility over the internet throug h the 10/100/1000 Ethernet management port.

Trigger/TTL Ports

The TTL Input and TTL Output ports provide a means of sending or receiving an electrical signal between the Xgig and other instruments for triggering purposes.

The trigger-out pulse is approximately 200ns wide, active-high, L VTTL (3. 3V). The triggerin can handle 3.3V or 5.0V inputs, also active-high. Use 50 ohm cables with these ports.

Cascade Ports

The Cascade In and Cascade Out ports provide a means of time-synchronizing up to four Xgig, Xgig5000, and/or Xgig1000 chassis. Cascade Ports are used to share domains and send triggers between chassis.

Page 4 Xgig1000 Hardware Guide March 2017

Chapter 1 Xgig1000 System Overview

Xgig1000 12G SAS Chassis

Cascade ports use standard RJ-45 connectors and straight through CAT5 cables to connect chassis, but use Viavi proprietary protocol to communicate between cascaded units.

USB Ports

St andard USB type A conne ctor may be used with any USB 2.0 device. This includes the USB system recovery drive for second generation Xgig1000 chassis.

3.0 USB type A connectors may be used with any USB 3.0 device.

3.0 USB type B connector may be used with an external host as a Management port for USB administration.

NOTE

A USB driver is installed as part of the installation package. If you choose to connect the chassis using a USB extension cable, you may be prompted to re-install the USB driver.

Clock Ports

The Clock Out port provides a means of using the clock out signal to measure the eye diagram of the output signal from the Analyzer. The Clock Out port accepts a SMA-type cable.

The Clock In port functionality is TBD. This port is reserved for future use.

Port Connectors

The Xgig1000 has two female mini-SAS HD connectors on the front. One connector is typically used for connection to the target, and the other is used for connection to the host. Either port can be used for the host or the target. St andard mini-SAS cables are supplied with the system.

The signals from a mini-SAS connector can be split into single-port outputs (or , single-port inputs can be consolidated into a mini-SAS connector) by using a “hydra” type cable. Using a hydra cable, the chassis can be configured to monitor between a single host and up to four drives.

Front Panel Reset Button

To safely shutdown the operating system and power off the chassis, press and hold the Front Panel Reset button for two seconds until the System LED starts blinking yellow. Stop pressing the button as soon as you see the System LED blink. This will allow the system to do a graceful shutdown.

March 2017 Xgig1000 Hardware Guide Page 5

Chapter 1 Xgig1000 System Overview

Xgig1000 12G SAS Chassis

• For Xgig 1000 units with the original motherboard (no rear power switch on the

back panel), the System LED will become steady yellow when the system has shutdown. This is the indication that you can remove the power cable.

• For Xgig 1000 units with the new motherboard (rea r power switch on back panel),

all LEDs will go dark and the motherboard will show no power when the system has completed the shutdown. At this point the power to both the protocol board and the motherboard has been removed. The only power going into the chassis at that point is into the Power Supply. This is the indication that you can switch the power switch to the off position.

If you press and hold the Front Panel Reset button down for six seconds or longer, it forces an abrupt termination and a graceful shutdown may not have completed.

• For Xgig 1000 units with the original motherboard (no rear power switch on the

back panel), holding the Front Panel Reset button for 6 seconds will force the System LED to a steady yellow.

• For Xgig 1000 units with the new motherboard (rea r power switch on back panel),

holding the Front Panel Reset button for 6 seconds will turn of f the power to both the protocol board and the motherboard.

NOTE

he six second shutdown is not recommended; it is meant to be a last resort option sim-

ilar to pulling the power plug.

Rear Power Switch

The power switch on the back of the chassis (the Rear Power switch) powers on the chassis, but it does not boot up the operating system. To boot up the operating system, turn on the Front Panel Reset button. When the operating system has booted up, the System LED changes to green. If the operating system does not boot up automatically, press the Front Panel Reset button.

Use the Rear Power switch to remove power from the chassis only when the LED on the Front Panel Reset button is solid yellow indicating the system has shut down, and it is safe to remove power from the chassis.

12G SAS System/Port Indicators

Power Indicator

This LED is green when the power is on. When the Power LED is off, there is no power to the system such as when the chassis power cable is unplugged and/or the power switch is turn off.

Page 6 Xgig1000 Hardware Guide March 2017

Chapter 1 Xgig1000 System Overview

Xgig1000 12G SAS Chassis

System Status Indicator

This LED is green when the power is on, and the system is in a normal state. When power is applied to the chassis, this LED will go from blue to green. Once the LED turns green, check the Cascade port LEDs to make sure they have stopped flashing indicating that Sync Discovery is complete. A yellow System LED indicates a warning, for example, a pending over temperature condition. A red LED indicates an alarm. This means that a fault exists, for example, an over temperature condition that could cause a system shutdown. The System LED is off when the system is running diagnostic tests, for example on the memory, or when the system is being upgraded.

Status Indicator (for the blade)

The Status LED is for the blade within the Xgig1000 chassis. A solid blue LED indicates the blade is ready to be used. A flashing green LED or a red/purple alternating LED indicates that firmware is being updated. Take care not to disturb the chassis during this process as it will corrupt the firmware. If this process fails, the S tatus LED is a steady red. If the Sta tus LED starts to blink red, you must power cycle the chassis to complete the firmware upgrade by turning the chassis off using the power switch on the back of the chassis or unplugging the chassis power cord, waiting for 10 seconds, then plugging the power cord back in or turning the chassis on using the power switch. Unpredictable behavior can result if the chassis is not properly power cycled.

If you use the Xgig client to update your chassis, the GUI message will indicate that the upgrade is complete even though there may be a subsequent Xgig1000 blade upgrade that could last for 15 more minutes. If this process fails, the Status LED is a steady red.

If you use the web initiated chassis upgrade, the user is directed to the Upgrade S tatus tab once the upgrade has started. The log displayed in this tab will also indicate the application install has completed, even though there may be a subsequent blade firmware upgrade that could last for 15 more minutes. If this process fails, the Status LED is a steady red.

In order to make sure the blade upgrade process is complete, check the S tatus LED on the blade, or open the Xgig1000 URL, and select the Status tab.

NOTE

n the case of a blade upgrade failure, contact the “Technical Assistance” team.

Power Mon Status Indicator

The functionality of this LED is TBD in a future release.

In Use Indicator

For each port, this LED is blue when the port is in use and off when it is not in use.
