Introduction
Use this document for quick installation and setup.
The Teledyne LeCroy PCI Express 4.0 Slot Interposer (MultiPort capable) plugs in to a PCIe
you to probe PCI Express traffic between a host and a PCIe expansion card. The interposer assures reliable data
transmission while providing 100% capture of all data traffic flowing through the PCIe slot interface. Connecting the
interposer to a Teledyne LeCroy analyzer allows decoding and display of data flowing in both directions and across all lanes,
and will display data traffic using the industry-standard CATC Trace™ data display, along with a wide range of traffic and
error reports. The Gen4 Interposer is for use with a Summit T4 Gen4 capable analyzer. The interposer uses Teledyne
LeCroy's T.A.P.4 technology to ensure complete data capture at Gen4 rates with minimal signal perturbation.
The Gen4 Interposer supports data rates of 2.5 GT/s, 5.0 GT/s, 8.0 GT/s and 16.0 GT/s, and link width up to x8. The PCIe
connector on the top of the card will support PCIe expansion cards up to x16. Versions of the interposer with lower link width
have a reduced PCIe edge connector at the bottom. A x16 DUT card can be inserted on the top connector and the
connection will automatically negotiate to the lesser link width.

Connecting the interposer to a Teledyne LeCroy analyzer allows decoding and display of data flowing in both directions and across all lanes, and will display data traffic using the industry-standard CATC Trace™ data display, along with a wide range of traffic and error reports.
- Page 2 Cables The Gen4 interposer is connected to the Summit T4 by means of propriety high speed serial cables. The Y cable allows the connection of a single interposer to a Summit T4 and leverages the full buffer for recording bus activity in a single bus, this cable can be used with x8 interposers.

- Page 5 Clock Configuration and Other Switch Settings The source for the reference clock used by the analyzer to record PCI Express traffic is configurable according to below table for SW2. Make sure clock source in Recording Options in the PCIe Protocol Analysis application is set to External. SW3 is a factory only switch.
- Page 6 DUT Retention Clamp The Gen4 Interposer comes with a DUT retention clamp installed. Use the DUT retention clamp to secure the bottom of the DUT’s metal flange. Fully insert the DUT in the top connector of the interposer. Then use the thumbscrew in the DUT retention clamp to secure the DUT. See the drawings below.
- Page 7 Swapping the Full Height Bracket for the Half Height Bracket Locate the two screws on the front of the Interposer securing the Full Height Bracket. Using a Phillips head screw driver, remove the two screws that secure the full height bracket. Save the screws for installation of the half height bracket.
