CompactPCI 64-bit specification. Therefore, all modules that meet the requirements of the CompactPCI 64-bit specification will function in the PXI-1025 MegaPAC. System Controller Slot The System Controller slot is Slot 1 of the chassis as defined by the PXI specification.
Chapter 1 Getting Started System Reference Clock The PXI-1025 MegaPAC supplies the PXI 10 MHz system clock signal (PXI_CLK10) independently to each peripheral slot. An independent buffer (having a source impedance matched to the backplane and a skew of less than 1 ns between slots) drives the clock signal to each peripheral slot.
Figure 2-1. Place your PXI-1025 MegaPAC on a bench top or in an instrument rack so that the fans (air inlets) and the air outlet apertures along the rear of the chassis have adequate ventilation.
Rack-mount applications require an optional rack-mount kit available from National Instruments. Refer to the instructions supplied with the rack-mount kit to install your PXI-1025 MegaPAC in an instrument rack.
