7 1 Windows XP Link / Transaction 1.1 Link / Transaction test procedure This test procedure is should be followed whether testing PCIe 1.1 or PCIe 1.0a add-in cards Use the PCI SIG system designated for running the Link/Transaction PCIe card test. Power off system and remove AC power from power supply to remove V Aux power from system. Install vendor card on the top connector of the PTC installed in any Express slot and then power on system. Make sure that the PTC is configured for add-in card testing and external power is connected. The PTC should be secured in the system slot to avoid dislodging it when the vendor card is installed on top of it. After Windows loads if a "New Hardware Wizard" appears press "Cancel" - Do not install ANY device drivers. Figure 1.1 New Hardware Wizard 7 PCI Express Link/Transaction Test Methodology, Rev 1.1 <0003>

8 Start the PTC Test Suite - Start menu - Programs - Agilent E2969A Series for PCI Express - PTC Test Suite - Then click on PTC Test Suite The Application will come up to the default menu below Figure 1.2 Link / Transaction Test Suite Default Menu In the application menu click on Tests and Select DUT 8 PCI Express Link/Transaction Test Methodology, Rev 1.1 <0003>

9 In the menu below scroll down and select the DUT by clicking on it. Figure 1.3 Select DUT The menu will close. (If the PTC is not moved to a different slot, the DUT selection remains valid and the Select DUT does not have to be performed for a new DUT). 9 PCI Express Link/Transaction Test Methodology, Rev 1.1 <0003>

10 In the application menu click on Tests and Select all tests. All the tests will be selected as shown below with the Execute boxes checked. Figure 1.4 Test Selection Menu 10 PCI Express Link/Transaction Test Methodology, Rev 1.1 <0003>

11 Deselect the second test (CompletionTimeout_TXN_BFT_EP) and the seventh test (NegotiatedLinkWidth_TXN_BFT_EP) by clicking the Execute check mark boxes for these tests as shown in the menu below. Figure 1.5 Initiate Test Start the tests by clicking the green arrow on the application menu. The tests will execute in order from top to bottom. When the Transaction test (RequestCompletion_TXN_BFT_EP) starts to execute, the dialog box below will appear. Click the cancel button. 11 PCI Express Link/Transaction Test Methodology, Rev 1.1 <0003>

12 Figure 1.6 Message Dialog Box The dialog box will close and the tests continue running to completion. If the tests all pass, green PASSED boxes will be shown in the status for each of the tests as shown below. Figure 1.7 Test Results Window Test Passed Example 12 PCI Express Link/Transaction Test Methodology, Rev 1.1 <0003>

13 If any test fails, a red FAILED box will be shown in the Status for the failing test as shown below. Figure 1.8 Test Results Window Test Failed Example 13 PCI Express Link/Transaction Test Methodology, Rev 1.1 <0003>

14 To display the summary report for the tests run, click on View and Show Report summary in the application menu. The Report summary menu will appear as shown below. Figure 1.9 Test Results Report Summary 14 PCI Express Link/Transaction Test Methodology, Rev 1.1 <0003>

15 Click on Last Report to show a detailed log file for the test, as shown below. Figure 1.10 Test Result Detailed Log 15 PCI Express Link/Transaction Test Methodology, Rev 1.1 <0003>

16 Scroll down the Report summary menu to see all tests. If a test has failed the box color will be red, as shown below. Figure 1.11 Failed Test Summary Showing in Red Click on the Last Report on the failing test to display the detailed log file for this test. Scroll down to find the failures listed, as shown below. 16 PCI Express Link/Transaction Test Methodology, Rev 1.1 <0003>

17 Figure 1.12 Test Result Detailed Log - There are two tests that start with LinkRetrainOnRetryFail... One of these two tests must pass for the DUT to pass. - When testing a PCIe 1.1 add-in card it is not required to pass the RequestCompletion_TXN_BFT_EP test (this test is applicable when testing to PCIe 1.0a). In testing to PCIe 1.1 there are actually three additional Request Completion tests under the test name RequestCompletion11_TXN_BXT_EP. One test is to cover the case where Advanced Error Reporting (AER) is not supported, and the other two tests cover the cases where AER is supported. - When testing a PCIe 1.0a add-in card, it is necessary to pass either the RequestCompletion_TXN_BFT_EP test or the RequestCompletion11_TXN_BXT_EP test (RequestCompletion11_TXN_BXT_EP is a pass if either the first test (does not support AER) or the next two tests (does support AER) indicate a pass). Attempting to run the tests again without rebooting the system may result in undefined behavior (including hanging the system to the point that it will be necessary to pull the power plug on the test system). 17 PCI Express Link/Transaction Test Methodology, Rev 1.1 <0003>

18 To save the log files go to the following location and copy all the files to a directory of your choice. The log files will be deleted each time the PTC Test Suite application is launched. If the tests are run multiple times without closing the PTC Test Suite application, multiple copies of the test logs will be created.
