The purpose of the OpenPOWER Advanced Accelerator Adapter Compliance 25Gbps I/O Test Harness and Test Suite specification is to provide the test suite requirements to demonstrate OpenPOWER Advanced Accelerator Adapter 25G I/O compliance for POWER9™ systems.

The input to this specification is the following specification : OpenPOWER Advanced Accelerator Adapter Electro-Mechanical Specification which describes electro-mechanical specification for advanced accelerator adapters within the OpenPOWER ecosystem supported by IBM POWER9.

There are two accelerator approaches for the 25Gbit/sec interface and the compliance for each approach is defined in this document. The first approach is a Mezzanine Adapter Card which is attached to the system planar via two connectors. The Mezzanine Adapter Card for OpenPOWER systems based on the POWER9 processor attaches to the 25Gbit/sec interface native to the POWER9 and plugs into the mezzanine card connectors.

The second approach is a Cabled Interface Extension to an adapter card. It uses a PCIe card as an example but the cabled extension does not require the adapter card be PCIe. POWER9 platforms support the optional cabling of the 25Gbit/sec Advanced Accelerator Interface to the advanced accelerator adapter in a riser card plugged into a PCIe slot in the same system. In addition, the adapter could be located in different drawer of the rack.
