Data Sheet VIAVI Solutions Enables VIAVI Exerciser Chassis emulation of CEM PCIe 6.0 Endpoint VIAVI Solutions Xgig® 16-lane CEM Endpoint Exerciser Test Card provides connection between the VIAVI PCIe 6.0 Analyzer/Exerciser platform and a host system under test. The CEM Endpoint Exerciser Test Card installs into a PCIe CEM slot on the host system and allows the Exerciser to appear as an Endpoint to the host system. It operates up to 64GT/s, PCIe 6.0 rate, across up to 16-lanes (bi-directional). This Test Card uses high-speed linear signal redrivers to transmit PCIe 6.0 PAM-4 data signals between the Analyzer/Exerciser Chassis to the Host System under test. This design ensures a clean signal is delivered both to the Analyzer/Exerciser Chassis and Host DUT for reliable protocol capture and analysis with minimal tuning effort. • Supports link widths up to 16-lanes • Operates at 64GT/s PCIe 6.0 data rates, and is compatible with PCIe rates of 2.5, 5.0, 8.0, 16 and 32GT/s • Supplied with high-quality custom data cables for Analyzer/Exerciser chassis attachment • Provides consistent, repeatable generation and capture of link training, equalization negotiation and other data • Supports error injection for deep system analysis • Supports generation/monitoring of side-band signals • Test Card power is independent of host system. A 12V DC 5A power supply is included. • Custom, exchangeable brackets enable secure chassis and endpoint card installations • Works together with the VIAVI XGIG6P-PCIE6-X16-PF Analyzer/Exerciser chassis platform • Supported by Xgig tool suite including Trace Control, Expert™ and Serialytics

Data Sheet Applications Working together with the VIAVI PCIe 6.0 Analyzer/ Exerciser platform, the CEM Endpoint Exerciser Test Card enables debug and verification of new system hardware designs, validation of system BIOS and software, and supports manufacturing test. The Xgig 16-lane, CEM Test Card is inserted into a PCIe CEM slot in the host system. In this position the Exerciser appears as an endpoint card installed in the Host System. Cables connect the Test Card to the VIAVI Protocol Analyzer/Exerciser Platform Chassis. The diagram to the right shows the Test Card's connections to the Analyzer/Exerciser...
