Introduction

Overview

The Endace DAG 8.4I card provides the means to transfer data into the memory of the host

computer. Substantial buffering is provided to avoid packet loss in cases where data capture

is limited by the PCIe bus bandwidth. Further, unlike a Network Interface Card (NIC),

Endace products actively manage the movement of network data into memory while only

consuming a minimal amount of the host computer's resources. The full attention of the CPU

remains focused on the analysis of incoming data without a constant stream of interruptions

as new packets arrive from the network. For a busy network link, this feature has a turbo-

charging effect similar to that of adding a second CPU to the system.

The DAG 8.4I card is a two port, PCIe card that allows capture of data. It is designed for use

with the InfiniBand interface. It provides full-rate capture of SDRx4 2.5 Gigabits per second

(Single Data Rate) InfiniBand traffic with precision time stamping capability. The PCIe

interface enables a capture rate of up to 13 Gigabits per second.

Card Features

The following features are available on this DAG card. Note: Different firmware images

may be required. Not all features are available on each firmware image. For further

System Requirements

General

The minimum system requirements for the DAG 8.4I card are:

•A computer, with at least a Intel Xeon 1.8GHz or faster and a minimum of 1GB RAM.

•At least one free PCI-e slot supporting 8-lane operation.

•Software distribution requires 60MB free space.

•For details of the supported operating systems, see one of the following documents:

•EDM04-01 DAG Software Installation Guide

•Current release notes - See the Documentation CD or the Endace support website

at https://www.endace.com/support

•Requires 12V external power via 4.2mm Pitch Mini-Fit Jr , 6 way, (PCI Express Card

Power Connector).

Operating System

This document assumes you are installing the DAG 8.4I card in a computer which already

has an operating system installed. To install refer to EDM04-01 DAG Software Installation

Guide. All related documentation is included on the CD shipped with the DAG 8.4I card.

Other Systems

For advice on using an operating system that is substantially different from any of those

specified above, please contact Endace Customer Support at [email protected].

EDM01-25v4 DAG_8.4I_Card_User_Guide

Card Description

The Endace InfiniBand DAG 8.4I card is for use in InfiniBand networks running at 10

Gigabits per second over 4x copper cabling using single data rate (SDRx4, 2.5 Gigabits per

second). The interface to the computer is an 8-lane PCIe, which has a throughput (receive-

only) of 13 Gigabits per second.

The card has two inputs with InfiniBand 4x connectors. The DAG card can be used in:

•PORT mode, where each input is terminated at the DAG card, or

•TAP mode, where a single InfiniBand link passes through the card, and data is

sampled from both directions of the link.

The DAG 8.4I Card has an additional power supply socket. This must be connected to a 12 V

power supply using the supplied cable.

Note: For passive fail safe you required a NinjaITM. Please refer to EMD09-20 NinjaITM

User Guide.

The key features of the card are:

•User configurable dual channel network monitoring for InfiniBand networks.

•100% capture into host memory at up to 13 Gigabits per second

•Header only or variable length packet capture.

•SDRx4 InfiniBand network interface.

•Conditioned clock with one PPS input and local synchronization capability.

•8 Lane PCIe bus interface.

•A TCAM external to the FPGA for packet classification.

Battery removal – don’t do it!

Removing the battery from a DAG card voids your warranty.

Removing the battery from a DAG card will cause the loss of encryption key used to decode

the DAG card's firmware. Once the encryption key is lost the DAG card must be returned to

Endace for reprogramming.

The battery in this product is expected to last a minimum of 10 years.

EDM01-25v4 DAG_8.4I_Card_User_Guide

Caution

Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

Dispose of used batteries carefully.

Card Architecture

SDRx4 Infiniband data, received by the two Infiniband interfaces, flows directly in to the

Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA).

The FPGA contains the packet record processor and the DAG Universal Clock Kit (DUCK)

timestamp engine. The DUCK provides high resolution per-packet timestamps which can be

accurately synchronized.

Note: For further information on the DUCK and time synchronization see to

Synchronizing Clock Time 31(page ) later in this user guide.

Time stamped records are classified and can be optionally discarded without further

processing depending on classification results. Packets passing the classification process are

stored in an internal FIFO memory before transmission to the host.

The following diagram shows the card’s major components and the flow of data:

InfiniBand network input and output

InfiniBand I/O to and from the DAG card is through two InfiniBand 4x connectors mounted

on the bezel edge of the card. The two connectors are labeled A and B. Each input and

output consists of four signal pairs.

Pin assignment on the InfiniBand connectors follows the InfiniBand 4x standard. For further

details on the InfiniBand standard refer to the InfiniBand™ Architecture Release 1.2

(http://www.infinibandta.org

EDM01-25v4 DAG_8.4I_Card_User_Guide

Installation

Introduction

The DAG 8.4I card operates on an 8 lane PCIe bus and can be installed in any free 8 lane PCIe

slot. The PCIe bus allows multiple DAG cards to be installed without affecting the

bandwidth used by each DAG 8.4I card.

Best performance (13 Gigabits per second) can only be achieved using an 8-lane PCIe slot,

however the DAG card will function in a 4-lane PCIe slot.

DAG Software package

The latest DAG Software package must be installed before you install the DAG 8.4I card

itself. See EDM04-01 DAG Software Installation Guide, which is included on the CD shipped

with the DAG 8.4I card.

Inserting the DAG Card

Caution:

It is very important to protect both the computer and the DAG 8.4I card from

damage by electro-static discharge (ESD). Failure to do so could cause damage to

components and subsequently cause the card to partially or completely fail.

1. Turn power to the computer OFF.

2. Remove the PCIe bus slot screw and cover.

3. Using an approved ESD protection device attach the end with the strap to your wrist

and pull or clip firmly so there is firm contact with your wrist.

4. Securely attach the clip on the other end of the strap to a solid metal area on the

computer chassis as shown below.

5. Insert the DAG 8.4I card into PCIe bus slot ensuring it is firmly seated.

6. If this DAG card requires an external power supply, complete the following steps:

a. Connect the supplied (or equivalent) power cable to the external power connector

on the DAG card.

b. Connect the cable to the appropriate power connector on your server's power

supply unit.

7. Check the free end of the card fits securely into the card-end bracket that supports the

weight of the card.

8. Secure the card with the bus slot cover screw.

9. Turn power to the computer ON.

10. Ensure the blue (FPGA successfully programmed) LED on the DAG card illuminates.

EDM01-25v4 DAG_8.4I_Card_User_Guide

Port Connectors

The DAG 8.4I card is for use in InfiniBand networks running at 10 Gigabits per second over

4x copper cabling using single data rate (SDRx4, 2.5 Gigabits per second).

The card has two inputs with InfiniBand 4x connectors.

There is an 8-pin RJ-45 socket located near the InfiniBand connectors which is available for

connection to an external time synchronization source.

Caution:

Never connect an Ethernet network or telephone line to the RJ-45 sockets.

External power supply

The DAG 8.4I PCB has an additional power supply socket. This must be connected to a 12 V

power supply using the supplied cable.

Caution:

Prolonged operation of the DAG 8.4I card without this extra power supply

connected could damage parts of the card.

The current draw through this extra power connector is up to .

The external power supply connector is a 4.2mm Pitch Mini-Fit Jr , 6 way, (PCI Express Card

Power Connector).

Some modern PSU units have connectors on the power supply designed to fit directly to this.

Otherwise use the Endace supplied adapter cable to connects this input to a standard 5.25"

Drive power connector on the system power supply unit.
