Introduction

AXIe Chassis and Modules
Introduction
The Keysight M9502A (2-slot) and M9505A (5-slot) AXIe chassis are modular
instrument chassis fully compatible with the AXIe 1.0 specification. They allow
multiple application-specific instrument modules to share a common chassis frame,
power supply, cooling system, PCI Express (PCIe) Gen 2 data bus, Gigabit LAN hub,
local bus for module-to-module signaling, and host PC connections. Multiple chassis
may be interconnected for scalability, a feature Keysight calls MultiFrame. The full
rack chassis provides two or five general purpose peripheral slots that accept 1U AXIe
instrument modules. Each module slot has a Gen 2 x4 link (maximum of 2 GB/s data
rate per module) to the chassis primary data 'fabric' hub—a x8 PCIe switch and data
bus.

Designed for portable or small system testing, the M9502A is shipped with bumpers
and a carry handle installed for benchtop use (these remove for rack mounting), Slot 1
open and a filler panel module installed in Slot 2. The front panel is shown below:
