Configuration
Step 1
Order the U4301A analyzer module
Select the option for the number of lanes to be tested and software license for 5 Gbps or 8 Gbps
applications Refer to ordering information for details
Step 2
Step 3
Order a modular chassis
Recommended chassis is the Keysight M9502A 2-slot AXIe chassis or optionally the Keysight
M9505A 5-slot AXIe chassis
Select a PC controller—Keysight recommends the M9536A embedded controller—or select
an external PC that meets the performance requirements as specified in the
PXI and AXIe Modular Instrumentation, Tested Computer List Technical Note
(http://literature.cdn.keysight.com/litweb/pdf/5990-7632EN.pdf).
Step 4
Step 5
Order the probe for your measurement application
– U4321A solid slot interposer 3.0: Order the option for the number of lanes to be tested
– U4322A mid bus probe based on Keysight soft touch technology
– U4324A flying lead solder down probe: Order the option for the number of lanes to be tested
Add the exerciser for stimulus/response testing
– U4305 exerciser: Order the option for the number of lanes to be tested and software licenses
for number of lanes to be tested as well as applications such as end node or root complex
emulation, LTSSM. MR-IOV, or SR-IOV emulation
1. Note: The slot interposer and exerciser lane width is fixed and is not upgradable due to the connector size being a function of lane width. A smaller
lane width probe can be used in a wider lane application, but only those lower lanes will be tested. Keysight does not recommend or support the use
of lane converters.
