Further, when 4 high-speed connectors of X4 are used with respect to the substrate to connect to the high-speed device slots of X16. Because PCIE is downward compatible, when X8 devices are used on the corresponding high-speed device slots, only two low-level X4 high-speed connectors are connected to the devices to be tested; similarly, when using X4 or X1 devices, only one X4 high-speed connector in the lower position needs to be connected to the device under test; the support of the corresponding equipment can be realized only by using the number of connectors and cables of the high-speed bus resources corresponding to the equipment bandwidth, so that the occupation of the high-speed resources and cable resources of the equipment to be tested is reduced. In addition, 4X 4 high-speed connectors are placed on the substrate and can be connected to the server to-be-tested equipment in a matched mode of different cables, so that support and verification of an OCP network card or a PCIe network card of Multi host (also called Dual host) or Quad host are realized.

After power-on, the CPLD automatically detects the type of the inserted device and automatically switches the PCIe MUX channel to the OCP slot to ensure the normal work of the OCP network card, and then inserts the auxiliary signal cable and connectors at the two ends of the high-speed signal cable into 4X 4 high-speed connectors corresponding to the OCP slot and 4X 4 high-speed connectors of the device to be tested to be verified; for example, the X4 high-speed connector HS CONN0 corresponding to the lower position [3:0] of the OCP slot is connected to the X4 high-speed connector of the CPU0, the X4 high-speed connector HS CONN1 corresponding to the lower position [7:4] of the OCP slot is connected to the X4 high-speed connector of the CPU1, the X4 high-speed connector HS CONN2 corresponding to the lower position [11:8] of the OCP slot is connected to the X4 high-speed connector of the CPU2, the X4 high-speed connector HS CONN3 corresponding to the lower position [15:12] of the OCP slot is connected to the X4 high-speed connector of the CPU3, and the verification of whether the processor and the auxiliary equipment work normally is started.

When the high-speed bus verification board in fig. 3 is used for verifying the high-speed bus of the device to be tested, since only the second high-speed connector is connected with the device to be tested and one second high-speed connector is connected with a plurality of interface slots through one high-speed connection chip, which is equivalent to the sharing of one second high-speed connector by a plurality of interface slots, since the high-speed connection chip is provided with the selection pins, after the high-speed bus of the device to be tested is verified by using the auxiliary equipment corresponding to one interface slot, if the high-speed bus of the device to be tested is verified by using the auxiliary equipment of the next target interface slot, the verification loop between the auxiliary equipment on the target interface slot and the device to be tested is conducted only by controlling the high-speed connection chip, and the verification by manually reconnecting the device to be tested to the first high-speed connector corresponding to the next target interface slot is not needed.
When the high-speed bus of the device to be tested is verified by using the high-speed verification board in fig. 4, because PCIE can be downward compatible, some interface slots may also connect a second high-speed connector by using a high-speed connection chip, but in an actual verification process, there may be some high-speed connectors that cannot connect the second high-speed connector by using the high-speed connection chip, and only connect by using a specific first high-speed connector, so that the requirement of fig. 1 can be satisfied by using the high-speed bus verification board in fig. 4, and the requirement of fig. 2 can also be satisfied.
