    – Appropriate power cord for your location. – Printed Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide (this document). The weight of an empty M9018B or M9019A PXIe chassis (no modules installed in the chassis) is approximately 29.8 lbs (13.5 kg). Lift the chassis using a single side handle only when the total chassis weight (chassis plus installed modules) does not exceed 75 lbs (34.0 kg).

  • Page 20: Step 2: Prepare The Hardware

    Use only the power cord supplied with the chassis. Keysight power cords ensure continuity between the chassis grounding-type power plug and the safety ground terminal at the power outlet.

    If you prefer to install the chassis in a rack first, see the Keysight PXIe Chassis Family User Guide rack mounting information. The Keysight Chassis Family has auto-ranging power supplies, meaning that the chassis does not have a voltage selector switch.

  • Page 29: Chassis Power Sequencing

    The method of powering up the chassis depends on the position of the INHIBIT rear panel switch, which can be set to the DEF (default) position or to the MAN (manual) position. These two methods are shown on the interactive block diagram and work as follows: Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide...

    Use of the ON/Standby push button to power up the chassis is assumed unless otherwise noted. For information on using the Inhibit signal on the rear panel DB-9 connector to power the chassis up and down, see the Keysight PXIe Chassis Family User Guide. 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 the following figure.

    Independent of whether you plan to run the SFP in Hardware Mode or Simulation Mode, the SFP is started from the Start menu as follows: Start > All Programs > Keysight > PXIe Chassis Family > PXIe Chassis SFP Simulation Mode If no chassis has been detected by Connection Expert, the SFP startup dialog appears as shown in the following image.

  • Page 35: Using The Sfp To Monitor The Chassis

    SFP includes an Allow Control check box that is unchecked by default. The unchecked box prevents any configuration change from being made. In the Keysight PXIe Chassis Family User Guide, which describes how to use the SFP to configure the chassis, this check box will be checked.
