- Utilize a 2x8, 4x4, or 1x4 PXIe system slot link configuration. - Run one of the operating systems listed in System Requirements (above). Remote (for Keysight M9018A chassis use only) Keysight M9021 Cable Interface x8 with one of the following PC Controller interface options:...
PC BEFORE you power down the chassis. If you are using an embedded controller, complete the following steps: 1. Install the embedded controller into the chassis. The Keysight M9306A PXIe Embedded Controller and Keysight M9018A PXIe Chassis are recommended. Refer to the controller and chassis documentation for details.
This Module can be used in a chassis with a PXIe and PXI-H hybrid slots. The M9362AD01 can also be installed in any hybrid PXI slot marked with a peripheral slot compatibility image (the letter "H" and a solid circle containing the slot number).
