PXI Express peripheral slots accept the following modules: • A PXI Express Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express link to the system slot • A CompactPCI Express Type-2 Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express link to the system slot 1-6 | ni.com...
NI PXIe-1082DC User Manual System Timing Slot The System Timing Slot is slot 4. The system timing slot will accept the following peripheral modules: • A PXI Express System Timing Module with x4 or x1 PCI Express link to the system slot.
1 is not routed anywhere. The right Local Bus 6 from slot 8 is also not routed anywhere. Local bus signals may range from high-speed TTL signals to analog signals as high as 42 V. Initialization software uses the configuration information specific to each adjacent peripheral module to evaluate local bus compatibility. 1-8 | ni.com...
System Reference Clock The NI PXIe-1082DC chassis supplies PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100, and PXIe_SYNC100 to every peripheral slot with an independent driver for each signal. An independent buffer (having a source impedance matched to the backplane and a skew of less than 500 ps between slots) drives PXI_CLK10 to each peripheral slot.

Installation and Configuration This chapter describes how to prepare and operate the NI PXIe-1082DC chassis. Before connecting the chassis to a power source, read this chapter and the Read Me First: Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility document included with your kit.
Installation and Configuration Chassis Cooling Considerations The NI PXIe-1082DC chassis is designed to operate on a bench or in an instrument rack. The chassis must be oriented horizontally for benchtop use. Vertical orientation with the chassis handle up is not a supported configuration. Regardless of the configuration you must provide the cooling clearances as outlined in the following sections.
Power Inhibit Switch LED Indicator section of this chapter. Setting Fan Speed The fan-speed selector switch is on the rear panel of the NI PXIe-1082DC chassis. Refer to Figure 1-2, Rear View of the NI PXIe-1082DC Chassis, to locate the fan-speed selector switch.
Installing a PXI Express System Controller This section contains general installation instructions for installing a PXI Express system controller in a NI PXIe-1082DC chassis. Refer to your PXI Express system controller user manual for specific instructions and warnings. To install a system controller, complete the...
Page 24
Figure 2-4 shows a PXI Express system controller installed in the system controller slot of a NI PXIe-1082DC chassis. You can place CompactPCI, CompactPCI Express, PXI, or PXI Express modules in other slots depending on the slot type.
Started, for a description of the various slot types. This section contains general installation instructions for installing a peripheral module in a NI PXIe-1082DC chassis. Refer to your peripheral module user manual for specific instructions and warnings. To install a module, complete the following steps: Inspect the slot pins on the chassis backplane for any bending or damage prior to installation.
Page 26
NI PXIe-1082DC User Manual Ensure that the chassis is powered off. Install a module into a chassis slot by first placing the module card PCB into the front of the card guides (top and bottom), as shown in Figure 2-5. Slide the module to the rear of the chassis, making sure that the injector/ejector handle is pushed down as shown in Figure 2-5.
Remote Voltage Monitoring and Control The NI PXIe-1082DC chassis supports remote voltage monitoring and inhibiting through a female 9-pin D-SUB (DB-9) connector located on the rear panel. Table 2-1 shows the pinout of the 9-pin D-SUB (DB-9) connector.
Page 28
(DB-9) connector, be careful not to short the probe leads together. Doing so could damage the power supply. You can use a digital voltmeter to ensure all voltage levels in the NI PXIe-1082DC chassis are within the allowable limits. Referring to Table 2-2, connect one lead of the voltmeter to a supply pin on the remote voltage monitoring connector (9-pin D-SUB) on the rear panel.
Inhibit Mode switch must be in the Manual position. PXI_CLK10 Rear Connectors There are two BNC connectors on the rear of the NI PXIe-1082DC chassis for PXI_CLK10. The connectors are labeled IN and OUT. You can use them for supplying the backplane with PXI_CLK10 or routing the backplane’s PXI_CLK10 to another chassis.
Identify As submenu. Further expanding the PXI System branch shows all devices in the system that can be recognized by NI-VISA. When your system controller and all your chassis are identified, the required file is complete.
System controllers from NI provide the pxisys.ini file for the NI PXIe-1082DC chassis, so you should not need to use the pxisys.ini file. Refer to the documentation provided with the system controller or to chassis.ini for more information on files.
Maintenance This chapter describes basic maintenance procedures you can perform on the NI PXIe-1082DC chassis. Disconnect the power cable prior to servicing a NI PXIe-1082DC chassis. Caution Service Interval Clean dust from the chassis exterior (and interior) as needed, based on the operating environment.
Avoid chemicals that contain benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar solvents. Resetting the DC Mains Circuit Breaker If the NI PXIe-1082DC chassis is connected to a DC source and encounters an over-current condition, the circuit breaker on the rear panel will trip to prevent damage to the chassis.
Me First: Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility document included with the kit. Removal The NI PXIe-1082DC power supply is a replacement part for the NI PXIe-1082DC chassis. Before attempting to replace the power supply shuttle, verify that there is adequate clearance behind the chassis.
