  • Page 8: Introduction

    1. Introduction The PXIe chassis is the backbone of a PXIe system. It contains a high performance backplane giving the cards in the system the ability to communicate rapidly with one another. It also provides power and cooling. Keysight provides two 18-slot PXIe chassis: M9018A M9019A For more information on M9018A, refer to the M9018A user documentation...

  • Page 9: M9019A Key Features

    PCs. M9019A key features The Keysight Technologies M9019A PXIe chassis is designed for easy integration into large systems containing multiple PXIe chassis and other non-PXI instrumentation. It has 16 PXIe hybrid slots, which allows the system designer to mix and match the number and location of PXIe and hybrid-compatible modules.

  • Page 10: Interactive Block Diagram

    Static-safe handling procedures Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. Use a static-safe work station to perform all work on electronic assemblies. The figure (left) shows a static-safe work station using two types of ESD protection: Conductive table-mat and wrist-strap combination Conductive floor-mat and heel-strap combination Both types, when used together, provide a significant level of ESD protection.

    Refer to the Keysight M9037A PXIe Embedded Controller User Guide for supported operating systems on the M9037A. Setting up the chassis on a bench This guide assumes that chassis preparation, turn-on and verification are performed on the bench prior to installing the chassis in a rack. If you prefer to install the chassis in a rack first, see the Keysight PXIe Chassis Family User Guide on the Software and Product Information CD for rack mounting...

  • Page 17: Connecting A Remote Controller Pc To The Chassis

    In addition to installing modules and filler panels in chassis slots, air inlet modules can also be installed in chassis slots. These modules contain holes in their face plates, and can be placed adjacent to high power modules for additional cooling. Keysight provides an air inlet module kit as listed in Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Specification Guide .
  • Page 18 Turn the chassis off and unplug the chassis from AC power. Before inserting the module, inspect the chassis slot to ensure there are no bent pins on the slot connectors. Insert the module in the chassis slot by placing the module card edges into the top and bottom module guides.

  • Page 19: Step 2. Install A Pcie Host Adapter In The Remote Controller Pc

    Plug in and power up the chassis. Verify that the chassis fans are operating and free of obstructions that may restrict airflow. Step 2. Install a PCIe host adapter in the remote controller PC Keysight offers the M9048B (x8)/ M9049A (x16). PCIe host adapter for desktop and rack-mounted PCs.

  • Page 20: Installing Software On The Host Controller

    Once the embedded controller is installed in the chassis, you can interface to the controller by connecting a keyboard, mouse, and monitor to it; alternatively, you can interface to the controller through its network port using software such as Microsoft Remote Desktop. Keysight IO Libraries Suite and the PXIe chassis drivers are pre-installed on the M9037A Embedded Controller.

  • Page 21: Installing The Keysight Io Libraries Suite

    The software installation process is based on using the CDs that are shipped with the chassis. However, as noted in the previous section, you will need to adapt the installation process if you have an embedded controller. It is recommended to use the latest version of Keysight IO Libraries Suite.

  • Page 22: Installing The Chassis Software Online

    Installing the chassis software online To install the M9019A software, perform the following steps: Browse to www.keysight.com/M9019A Click on Visit Technical Support. Click the Drivers, Firmware & Software tab. Select Keysight PXIe Chassis Software. Click the Download button. Select the appropriate executable file. Choose Run.

    4. STEP 3: Turn On Chassis and Verify Operation Do not install modules in the peripheral slots yet—this is done in STEP 4. The only module that should be installed in the chassis at this time is either an embedded controller or a PXIe system module in slot 1 as described in STEP 2 on page This guide assumes that chassis preparation, turn-on and...

  • Page 24: Methods Of Powering Up The Chassis

    The PC should be shut down before the chassis is powered down. This will prevent the chassis, as it is being powered down, from disrupting operation of the PC. In brief, the PC should be off whenever the chassis is powered up or down. Because chassis modules are not hot-swappable, chassis modules should only be added or removed when the chassis is powered down.

  • Page 25: Chassis Front Panel Leds

    Chassis front panel LEDs The chassis contains three LEDs on its front panel to the left of the ON/Standby (power) push button, as shown in in the following figure. The front panel LEDs, depending on whether they are off, on continuously, or flashing, provide important information on the status of the chassis, and should be monitored regularly.

  • Page 27: Pc Startup Requirements For Keysight Io Libraries Suite

    The chassis will not intentionally modify its operation because of conditions that cause one or more LEDs to flash. In other words, the chassis will attempt to continue normal operation despite flashing LED(s). However, a flashing LED may indicate a condition that will prevent the chassis from operating correctly. For example, a flashing Fan LED indicates that one or more rear panel fans are under speed, which may cause the temperature of the chassis to rise and exceed specifications.

  • Page 28: Using Connection Expert To Connect To The Chassis

    The two cases described above where Connection Expert does not display the chassis or a module in the chassis can occur with Connection Expert. If the New Hardware Found Wizard is displayed, follow the steps in the Using Connection Expert to connect to the chassis section in the Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide to associate a driver with the device.

  • Page 29: Using The Soft Front Panel To Monitor The Chassis

    If Connection Expert successfully displays the chassis slots, continue to the next section, and verify that the soft front panel can interface to the chassis. If Connection Expert fails to display the chassis slots, see the Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Service Guide for troubleshooting suggestions.
  • Page 30 If no chassis has been detected by Connection Expert, the SFP startup dialog appears as shown in the following image. The absence of a chassis listed under Modules indicates that no chassis has been detected; therefore, the SFP can only be run in simulation mode.

  • Page 31: Using The Sfp To Monitor The Chassis

    Click the chassis entry under Modules to select it, which will display the chassis entry in the Selected Instrument field. Click Connect to start the SFP in hardware mode. Note that multiple instance of the SFP can be run at one time on the host controller Using the SFP to monitor the chassis This section describes how to use the SFP to monitor the chassis in Hardware Mode.
  • Page 32 As you can see, there are Alarm Occurred indicators on the right side of the Monitor screen. These alarms are enabled by default and operate as described in the following table. If the chassis is operating normally and is using the default alarm thresholds, none of the alarms should be set.

  • Page 33: Step 4: Overview Of Installing And Verifying Keysight Modules

    5. STEP 4: Overview of Installing and Verifying Keysight Modules Installation of Keysight modules should only be performed if you have been able to successfully view the chassis slots with Keysight Connection Expert as described in the Using Connection Expert to connect to the chassis on page 27 section.
  • Page 34 Verifying your module Follow the instructions provided with your Keysight module to verify its operation. Module verification typically includes the following steps: Verify that your module is displayed within the chassis in Keysight Connection Expert as described in the Using Connection Expert to connect to the chassis on page 28 section, and as described in your module documentation.
