IDT™ EB-LOGAN-23 Evaluation Board Manual
●Introduction
■The 89H32NT24AG2 switch (also referred to as PES32NT24AG2 in this manual) is a member of the IDT PCI Express® Inter-Domain Switch family of products. It is a PCle® Base Specification 2.1 compliant (Gen2) 32-lane,24-port switch.The EB-LOGAN-23 Evaluation Board provides an evaluation platform for both the PES32NT24AG2 and PES32NT24BG2 switches and for several other members of this switch family including PES24NT24AG2, PES32NT8AG2, and PES24NT6AG2.
■Detailed information related to configuration of number of ports and lanes in the switch device can be found in the Device User Manual and the Device Data Sheet. The evaluation board, along with additional adapters and daughter boards provide by IDT, can be configured to test every possible combination of the number of lanes and ports offered by the switch. Advanced capabilities such as switch partitioning, NTB, DMA, and local port clocking can be evaluated with the evaluation board.
■The EB-LOGAN-23 brings out all 32 lanes of the device to 4 Mezzanine connectors (see Figure 1.1)located close to the device — one connector per stack of 8 lanes. Various types of daughter cards (provided by lDT) can then be plugged into these connectors to facilitate connectivity to one x8 or two x4 or four x2 or eight x1 link partners. Link partners may be plugged directly into these daughter cards, or they can be connected to these daughter cards via SAS or SATA cables and a different board with PCle slots known as the 12-PACK board(provided by IDT). Given that the majority of the hosts/servers offer PCle standard slots, IDT provides the necessary adapter cards that may be plugged into these host/server slots as well as the cables that connect such adapters to the daughter cards, which in turn are plugged into the main evaluation board on which the IDT PCle switch device is populated.
■The EB-LOGAN-23 is also used by IDT to reproduce system-level hardware or software issues reported by customers.Figure 1.1 illustrates the functional block diagram representing the main parts of the EB-LOGAN-23 board.
