Chapter 1 Getting Started PXI Express Peripheral Slots There are three PXI Express peripheral slots: slots 8–10. Slot 8 is directly connected to the system slot with a x4 PCI Express link. Slots 9 and 10 are connected to the system slot through a PCI Express switch. PXI Express peripheral slots can accept the following modules: •...

Chapter 1 Getting Started PXIe_SYNC_CTRL PXIe_SYNC100 is by default a 10 ns pulse synchronous to PXI_CLK10. The frequency of PXIe_SYNC100 is 10/n MHz, where n is a positive integer. The default for n is 1, giving PXIe_SYNC100 a 100 ns period. However, the backplane allows n to be programmed to other integers.
Part Replacement—Only service this equipment with parts that are exact replacements, both electrically and mechanically. Contact National Instruments for replacement part information. Installation of parts with those that are not direct replacements may cause harm to personnel operating the chassis. Furthermore, damage or fire may occur if replacement parts are unsuitable.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration 1 Primary Air Exhaust Vent 2 Primary Air Intake Vent Chassis Ambient Temperature Definition The chassis fan control system uses intake air temperature as the input for controlling fan speeds when in Auto Fan Speed mode. Because of this, the chassis ambient temperature is defined as the temperature that exists just outside of the fan intake vents on the rear of the chassis.
Refer to Rack Mounting Rack mount applications require the optional rack mount kits available from National Instruments. Refer to the instructions supplied with the rack mount kits to install your NI PXIe-1065 chassis in an instrument rack. Refer to Figure A-3,...
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration If your power outlet does not have an appropriate ground connection, you must connect the premise safety ground to the chassis grounding screw located on the rear panel. Refer to Figure 1-2, NI PXIe-1065 the safety ground, complete the following steps: Connecting to Power Source Do not install modules prior to performing the following power-on test.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Figure 2-4 shows a PXI Express system controller installed in the system controller slot of a NI PXIe-1065 chassis. You can place CompactPCI, CompactPCI Express, PXI, or PXI Express modules in other slots depending on the slot type. 1 NI PXIe-1065 Chassis Figure 2-4.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Power Inhibit Switch LED Indicator The chassis power inhibit switch has an integrated LED. This LED indicates one of four different conditions: • • • • If two system fans or both of the power supply fans fail the chassis will shut down Note automatically, preventing the chassis and modules from damage due to overheating.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Inhibit Mode Switch On the rear panel of the chassis there is an Inhibit Mode switch. Refer to Figure 1-2, Inhibit Mode switch is recessed to prevent it from accidentally being switched. The Inhibit Mode switch should be in the Default position when normal power inhibit switch functionality is desired.
Static reservation pre-allocates a trigger line to prevent its configuration by a user program. Dynamic reservation/routing/deallocation is on the fly within a user program based upon National Instruments APIs such as NI-DAQmx. Static reservation of trigger lines can be implemented by the user in MAX through the Triggers tab.
Complete the following steps to reserve these trigger lines in MAX. PXI Trigger Bus Routing Some National Instruments chassis, such as the PXI-1065 and the PXI-1044/1045, have the capability to route triggers from one bus to others within the same chassis using the Trigger Routing tab in MAX, as shown in Figure 2-6.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Using System Configuration and Initialization Files The PXI Express specification allows many combinations of PXI Express chassis and system modules. To assist system integrators, the manufacturers of PXI Express chassis and system modules must document the capabilities of their products.
Complete the procedure described in the section of Chapter 2, Installation and switch LED is not a steady green, contact National Instruments. Verify that the NI PXIe-1065 chassis can meet the power requirements of your CompactPCI or PXI Express modules. Overloading the chassis can cause the breaker to trip.
Chapter 3 Maintenance Configuration The fan-speed selector switch is on the rear panel of the power supply shuttle. Refer to Figure 1-2, to locate the fan-speed selector. Select High for maximum cooling performance (recommended) or Auto for quieter operation. Set the Inhibit Mode switch to the Default position.
