Controlling Multiple Chassis with the M9037A
Controlling Multiple Chassis with the M9037A
Keysight's M9037A controller can manage the instruments in multiple PXIe or
AXIe chassis. The Keysight Multi-Chassis Designer
www.keysight.com/find/pxie-multichassis) is an interactive tool to help you
design multi-chassis systems. The following is a summary of information
presented by Designer.
Figure 10 shows a basic multiple-chassis configuration. The required
components for this basic configuration include:
Multiple Chassis Configurations
Keysight M9037A PXIe Embedded Controller User Guide
– One Master PXIe chassis
– One subordinate chassis -- either a PXIe chassis (such as the M9010A,
M9018B, or M9019 chassis) or an AXIe chassis (such as the Keysight
M9502A or M9505A AXIe chassis).
– Only Microsoft Windows 64-bit Operating Systems is supported (32-bit OS
for multiple chassis is not supported).
– One M902xA PCI Cable Interface is required in a subordinate PXIe chassis.
– One Y1200B PCIe cable.
– To support multiple chassis (up to four chassis are supported), the
following restrictions apply:
– Connecting more than one subordinate chassis -- via M902xA Cable
Interface modules installed in the Master or subordinate chassis -- is not
supported.
– Use the latest version of Keysight IO Libraries Suite.
– You must turn on the subordinate chassis and wait for the chassis status
light to turn solid green before turning on the Master chassis with the
M9037A controller.
– The M9037A should have the latest BIOS version. See
Menu"
on page 57 to determine the current BIOS version in your M9037A
and guidelines to update the BIOS if necessary.
– Only a 64-bit OS is supported. 8 GB (or more) of memory should be
installed in the M9037A.
