Chapter 3, Getting Started with Xgig TraceControl
Figure 28: Auto-Reboot Options Window
There are 4 options to automatically reboot a system:
Disable/enable lanes to simulate reboot
switches off/on all the interposer lanes for one second. Some host computers detect the
inadvertent Electrical Idle state and they re-initiate the full LTSSM state machine from the
Gen1 Configuration phase through the Gen3 Recovery.Equalization phase, which is what is
needed for tuning. This option is only useful for host computers capable of doing it, when L0s/
L1 power management is disabled and when the target drive is not the primary partition. You
can test if a host supports this by hitting the
panel. If TraceControl triggers within a few seconds and goes to "PostFilling" in the State
column" (look at TraceControl's main window for this), you can hit the

test three times in a row to confirm that it works. From there you can select this Auto-Reboot
option in the "Tuning Options" panel and then hit the

reboot the DUT. The wizard calls the batch file RemoteReboot.bat to do this. The file is
accessible by clicking the
RebootWin.bat, capable of rebooting any Microsoft Windows DUT, given that you provide the
IP address, login information and you carefully follow all the steps described at the top of
RebootWin.bat to enable this feature on the DUT. This option will not work if the target drive
is the primary partition as the tuning process will transition into states that will prevent the
DUT from booting, and the DUT will not be able to act upon the remote reboot requests. Once
you finished editing the RemoteReboot.bat/RemoteWin.bat files, double-click on them three
times in a row to make sure they work. Once this works, you can select this Auto-Reboot
option in the "Tuning Options" panel and then hit the
