    NOTE: NOTE: PCI Express Link Capability The PXES-2301 backplane follows a 4 link x 4 lane PCIe switch fabric configuration, as defined by Compact PCI Express and PXI Express specifications. The backplane routes three system slot x4 PCI Express links to 2nd to 4th peripheral slots directly.
  • Page 24 Trigger Bus All six PXES-2301 slots share eight trigger lines, through which PXI and PXI Express modules can exchange trigger or clock signals via the trigger bus, allowing precisely timed response to asynchronous external events the system is monitoring or con- trolling.

  • Page 25: Figure 1-11: Trigger Bus Bridge Capability

    PXES-2301 Figure 1-11: Trigger Bus Bridge Capability Reference Clock The PXES-2301 backplane supplies a single-ended 10MHz reference clock (PXI_CLK10) and differential 100MHz clock (PXIe_CLK100) to each peripheral slot for inter-module syn- chronization. The independent buffers drive the clock signal to each peripheral slot.

  • Page 28: Cooling Considerations

    Leading EDGE COMPUTING 2.2 Cooling Considerations Two 100.2CFM fans on the underside of the PXES-2301 draw cool air through apertures on the bottom and over the PXI/PXIe modules, to be exhausted through the top of the chassis. Getting Started...
  • Page 29 The PXES-2301 should be situated on a bench top or in an instru- ment rack, maintaining at least 1U (44.5 mm/1.75 in.) clearance from all ventilation apertures. Further, the 12.7mm/0.5 in. height of the rubber feet on the underside must be maintained to allow air intake.
  • Page 30 Leading EDGE COMPUTING While the PXES-2301 supports bidirectional setup, chassis direc- tion cannot be configured with the right side carrying handle on the bottom, which can impede cooling functions. To sustain required air flow, always install provided filler panels in unused slots.

  • Page 43: Chassis Monitoring

    PXES-2301 Chassis Monitoring The PXES-2301 chassis provides advanced system monitoring and control. Chassis conditions, including internal temperature, fan speed, and DC voltage can all be monitored on the system controller. Communication with the chassis monitoring control unit is avail- able using an embedded controller, such as ADLINK PXIe-3985/ 3975/3935, to access the SMBus located on the system slot (1st slot).
