This document outlines the supported test configurations for monitoring SAS and SATA physical links using CATC’s SASTracer protocol analyzer platform. SASTracer Protocol Analyzer Configurations: This document outlines the supported test configurations for monitoring SAS and SATA physical links using the LeCroy SASTracer protocol analyzer platform. SASTracer 1 or 2 Port SAS Configurations a. SASTracer configured for single port operation with test setup to monitor traffic passing between SAS Initiator and SAS Device. This setup reflects early development SAS HDD prototypes that utilize SATA-I plug connectors only on the HDD. Standard SATA style internal receptacle connectors and cables may also be used to attach SAS initiator directly to analyzer. b. SASTracer configured for two port operation with cable attachment to monitor between dual ported connectors on a SAS HDD and two separate ports on a SAS initiator. This setup reflects fut……
