PXIe-1095 User Manual System slot link 2 is a Gen-3 x16 PCI Express link to the primary PCI Express switch, providing a nominal bandwidth of 16 GB/s (single direction) between the system controller slot and logical PCI Express switch 2. PXI Express peripheral slots 5-9 are connected to logical PCI Express switch 2 with Gen-3 x8 PCI Express links and are downstream of system slot link 2.
The hybrid peripheral slots provide full PXI Express functionality and 32-bit PXI functionality except for PXI Local Bus. The hybrid peripheral slot only connects to PXI Local Bus 6 left and right. Figure 3. PXIe-1095 PCI Express Backplane Diagram Primary PCIe Switch...

PXIe-1095 User Manual The backplane routes PXI Local Bus 6 between all slots. The left local bus 6 from slot 1 is not routed anywhere, and the right local bus 6 from slot 9 is not routed anywhere. Local bus signals may range from high-speed TTL signals to analog signals as high as 42 V.
Dotted line connections are available only with the Timing and Synchronization upgrade. System Reference Clock The PXIe-1095 chassis supplies PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100 and PXIe_SYNC100 to every peripheral slot with an independent driver for each signal. The following figure shows the chassis reference clock architecture.
PXIe-1095 User Manual section for the specification information for an external clock provided on the PXI_CLK10_IN pin of the System Timing Slot or rear panel SMA. Safety Information Caution Before undertaking any troubleshooting, maintenance, or exploratory procedure, carefully read the following caution notices.
You must adhere to the cooling clearances as outlined in the following section. Providing Adequate Clearance The module and power supply exhaust vents for the PXIe-1095 are on the top of the chassis. The module intake vents are on the rear of the chassis. There are also intake and exhaust vents located along the sides of the chassis.

Rack Mounting Rack mount applications require optional rack mount kits available from NI. Refer to the instructions supplied with the rack mount kits to install your PXIe-1095 chassis in an instrument rack. Note You must remove the feet and carry handle from the PXIe-1095 chassis when rack mounting.
Connecting the Safety Ground Caution The PXIe-1095 chassis are designed with a three-position IEC 60320 C14 inlet for the U.S. that connects the ground line to the chassis ground. For proper grounding, a suitable cordset must be used to connect this inlet to an appropriate earth safety ground.
PXIe-1095 User Manual Connecting to a Power Source Caution Do not install modules prior to performing the following power- on test. To completely remove power, you must disconnect the AC power cable. Attach input power through the rear AC inlet using the appropriate AC power cable supplied.
Table 3. Rear Power Supply LED States Remote Voltage Monitoring and Control The PXIe-1095 chassis supports remote voltage monitoring and inhibiting through a female 8-pin connector on the rear panel. The following table shows the pinout of the 8-pin connector.
Page 24
When connecting digital voltmeter probes to the rear 8-pin connector, be careful not to short the probe leads together. You can use a digital voltmeter to ensure all voltage levels in the PXIe-1095 chassis are within the allowable limits. Referring to the following table, connect one lead of the voltmeter to a supply pin on the 8-pin remote voltage monitoring connector on the rear panel.
PXIe-1095 User Manual If the voltages fall within the specified ranges, the chassis complies with the CompactPCI voltage-limit specifications. PXI Express System Configuration with MAX The PXI Platform Services software included with your chassis automatically identifies your PXI Express system components to generate a pxiesys.ini file. You can configure your entire PXI system and identify PXI-1 chassis through Measurement &...
System controllers from NI provide the pxisys.ini file for the PXIe-1095 chassis, so you should not need to use the chassis.ini file. Refer to the documentation provided with the system controller or to ni.com/support...
PXIe-1095 User Manual Note Many components within the chassis are susceptible to static discharge damage. Service the chassis only in a static-free environment. Observe standard handling precautions for static-sensitive devices while servicing the chassis. Always wear a grounded wrist strap or equivalent while servicing the chassis.
Identify the two mounting screws for the PXIe-1095 that attach the power supply to the chassis. Refer to the Rear View of the PXIe-1095 Chassis figure, for the screw locations. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws. Pull on the rear of the power supply to remove it from the back of the chassis.
Connecting the Safety Ground Caution The PXIe-1095 chassis are designed with a three-position IEC 60320 C14 inlet for the U.S. that connects the ground line to the chassis ground. For proper grounding, a suitable cordset must be used to connect this inlet to an appropriate earth safety ground.
