SYSTEM AND METHOD OF TESTING BRIDGE SAS CHANNELS

A system and a method of testing bridge SAS channels includes a control terminal, a hot-plug bridge interface, a first adaptor, an SAS back plate, and a second adaptor. The control terminal selects an SAS interface as a transmission path for sending a test signal. The hot-plug bridge interface receives and converts the test signal sent from the control terminal. The hot-plug bridge interface has a hot-plug function. The first adaptor is connected to the hot-plug bridge interface and the SAS back plate. The second adaptor is connected between the SAS back plate and a terminal unit. The control terminal sends the test signal and detects a signal under test sent back from the terminal unit, and compares whether they are consistent with each other or not. In this way, the control terminal determines whether the SAS interfaces in the SAS back plate run normally or not.
