    No other drivers are required to operate the controller module. However, your application modules may require drivers. If possible, you should connect the M9035A to the Internet and download drivers from the original source. Alternately, you can transfer the drivers on a USB memory stick and install them accordingly.
  • Page 15: Step 3: Install The M9035A Embedded Controller

    Keysight’s M9035A can operate with all of the PCIe fabric configurations found on a Keysight PXIe chassis as well as the standard 4x4 fabric used on non-Keysight PXIe chassis.
  • Page 16 Remove the screw protection caps from the four M9035A retaining screws. Push down on the controller’s ejector/injector handle. Carefully align the M9035A board edges with the chassis guide rails for slot 1 (red guide rails) and insert the controller into the guide rails.
  • Page 17: Removing The M9035A From The Chassis

    Pull the module towards you until it is free of the chassis. Power On Sequence The M9035A controller, like any PC, will boot with the installed operating system. Refer to the M9035A User Guide for detailed power on and configuration sequence information.

    - 1x8 Configuration — Referred to as 1x8, this configuration provides one x8 link from the M9035A embedded controller to the PCIe switch fabric. While the 1x8 configuration will work with the M9035A, it is better suited for use with the M9021A system module which supports 8 PCIe lanes.
  • Page 28 M9018 PXIe Chassis PCIe Link Configuration - 4x4 Configuration — Referred to as 4x4, this configuration provides four x4 links from the M9035A embedded controller to the PCIe switch fabric. While the 4x4 configuration will work with the M9035A, it is more advantageous with certain non-Keysight system modules.
