PCI Express Link Capability The PXIe-62780 backplane provides a configurable PCIe switch fabric, allowing PCI express link configuration between system slot and PCIe switch fabric to change from 4-link x 4 lanes (factory default) to 2-link x 8 lanes. 4-link x 4 lanes configuration delivers the most balanced PCI express topology, with all the peripheral slots sharing equally in system bandwidth.
PXI-1/CompactPCI peripheral module. PXI Express Peripheral Slots 6 PXI Express peripheral slots are provided in the PXIe-62780, with 8th and 12th slots connected with PCIe x8 lanes, and the other four peripheral slots connected with PCIe x4 lanes. Each can only accommodate a 3U PXI Express/ CompactPCI Express peripheral...
Figure 1-11: 3U Hybrid Slot Compatible PXI-1 Peripheral Module Figure 1-12: 3U PXI Express Peripheral Module Local Bus The local bus on a PXI backplane is a daisy-chained bus that connects each peripheral slot with adjacent peripheral slots to the left and right. The quantity of local bus lines is...
Trigger Bus Three trigger bus segments on the PXIe-62780 consist of a first segment from 1st to 6th slots, a second from 7th to 12th slots, and a third from 13th to 18th slots, with each trigger bus segment containing 8 trigger lines connecting all slots on the same segment, providing inter-module synchronization.
Since the external 10MHz clock input can override the onboard 10MHz clock source, a phase-lock loop (PLL) circuit on the backplane synchronizes the PXIe_ CLK100 and external 10MHz clock. The PXIe-62780 PXI chassis automatically selects the 10 MHz reference clock source from among: • Built-in accurate 10 MHz clock source •...
2 Getting Started This chapter describes procedures for installing the PXIe-62780 and making preparations for its operation. Please contact JYTEK or authorized dealer if there are any problems during the installation. Diagrams and illustrated equipment are for reference only. Actual system configuration and specifications may vary.
2�3 Hardware Installation 2�3�1 Installing the System Controller The PXIe-62780 incorporates a system controller slot supporting a PXI Express system controller of up to 4 slot width. 1. Ensure the CPU, memory module(s), and storage device(s) are properly installed on the system controller 2.
Page 22
4. Align the module’s top and bottom edges with the cardguides, and carefully slide the module into the chassis. 5. Lift the latch until the module is securely seated in the chassis backplane 6. Fasten the screws on the module front panel, and connect all devices to the system controller.
2�3�2 Installing Peripheral Modules The PXE-62780 supports up to seventeen peripheral modules, including a system timing module. 1. Select an available peripheral slot (2 to 18) 2. Depress the peripheral module’s latch and align the module’s top and bottom edges with the card guides. 3.
Page 24
5. Fasten the screws on the module’s front panel. 6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 to install additional PXI or PXIe peripheral modules. To improve efficiency of heat dissipation, after installing all PXI modules, please install filler plates for any unused slots.
2�4 Rack Mounting JYTEK provides hardware for optional installation of the PXIe-62780 to a rack. The kit (order name PXIe-62780 Rack Mount Kit) flexibly recesses the PXIe-62780 in the rack, accommodating external mechanical parts on the front side, such as cables and mass interconnect modules.
2�4�1 Powering Up the System The PXIe-62780 is equipped with a 100 VAC to 240 VAC universal power supply unit requiring no input voltage selection. 1. Connect one end of the supplied power cord to thepower inlet located at the rear side of the chassis.
The PXIe-62780 provides software configurable trigger bus bridges, whereby the user can set the status of each trigger bus line as shown in Figure 1-13. The PXIe-62780 backplane can also be configured between 4-link x 4 lanes or 2-link x 8 lanes by the configurable PCIe switch fabric.
3�2 Monitoring the PXIe-62780 JYTEK provides the PXIe-62780 Chassis Remote Mon. Utility to monitor the status of the PXIe-62780. As shown, the utility is divided into three interface categories: Connect Control, Remote Status & Control, and Chassis Status. Figure 3-1: PXIe-62780 Chassis Remote Mon� Utility 3�2�1 Connect Control...
Selecting Disconnect releases serial port. This section is available while Interface is set to RS232 Baud rate for RS232 is set to 9600 automatically for PXIe-62780 Chassis Status Log With the Chassis Status Log function, monitored data can be recorded. Selecting Log Chassis Status opens the Log Options dialog, as shown.
Displays the current firmware version. 3�2�2 Chassis Control and Alarm Threshold Setting Provides operational and threshold settings for the PXIe-62780, including trigger bus, PXIe link, target temperature, and fan mode, and threshold settings for DC voltage, temperature, and cooling fan speed.
PXIe Link Displays PCI express switch fabric settings for the PXIe-62780 backplane. Selecting required configuration (four-link x4 or two-link x8) and Config applies new settings. The new setting will not be valid until system is restarted. Target Temperature When the Fan switch on the rear panel is set to AUTO, fans run at different speeds based on the measured temperature.
Set. Fan Speed Displays Auto/Full fan speed setting status of the PXIe-62780. Auto is displayed when fans are set to auto mode and Full when the fans are set to run at full speed. Selection of Auto or Full values and selecting Set directly changes cooling fan mode.
