The GBIC Configuration requires a modification of the steering capacitors C23 through
C30. This requires removing C24, C26, C27, and C30 and soldering these capacitors in
locations C23, C25, C28, and C29 (see Figure 1).

Test Configuration and Results
The serial Bit Error-rate Ratio Test (BERT) is useful for evaluating device and board
characteristics. Using this test, we can determine the eye diagram characteristics of the
system, as shown in Figure 3. The test setup is illustrated in Figure 2.
The HP71603B 3-Gbps Serial BERT outputs a high-speed serial stream to the test board
where the data is converted by the TNETE part to a 10-bit parallel format.  The parallel
data is then looped back from the receiver to the transmitter.  The pulse generator
provides a clock input to the transmitter. The external clock source is necessary because
the receiver's recovered clock is half the frequency necessary for transmission.
