Processor-Based Tests
R
PC running Hyper Terminal or similar terminal program.One 1.5 Gb/s rated serial
ATA cable
One 1.5 Gb/s rated serial ATA cable
This test begins when the “1” is selected from the Built-In Self-Test Main Menu displayed
on the terminal window. The board should already have a serial ATA cable connected in a
looped back configuration, between serial ATA 0 HOST and serial ATA 1 Target, or
between serial ATA 2 HOST and serial ATA 1 Target.
See Figure D-3 and Figure D-4.
Note:
While either test is running, all three of the MGTs connected to the serial ATA connectors are
active, but the test software is only monitoring one pair at a time. If you select the wrong loop pair to
test, the target can transmit and receive data/frames, but you would be monitoring the wrong loop pair
of transceivers. Thus, the test will fail.
