1. Safety Intended Application The PXE100A series remote controller kit is not designed for stand-alone use -- in order to enable stand- alone functionality, additional elements are required. An operational system is achieved only by way of appropriate PXI Express Cards. The completion and final testing of the units have been carried out by qualified technicians.
Safety Instructions This user's manual is intended for system Integrators and hardware/software engineers. This product has been designed to meet the relevant standard industrial safety requirements. It is not intended to be used in applications other than that of its specific area of the office telecommunication industry and industrial control.
Mounting Considerations Assure that all components, structural or otherwise, were not loosened nor damaged during shipment prior to use. Do not operate under loose or damaged conditions as it may damage other parts of the system at large. Electrical Hazards The caution label on the system's rear, near the grounding studs, indicates a needed earth connection due to the potential for high-leakage current which is considered hazardous.
2. Product Description The PXE100A series PXI Express Remote Controller is designed to operate in a PXI Express System Slot. The controller complies with the PXI Express module form factor. With its use, a conventional Desktop PC is used to control a PXI Express Chassis.
Chassis Description The PXI Express Remote Controller is plugged into the PXI Express Backplane’s System Slot. The Space-saving 4 TE design allows ample space for additional system components as well as further PXI Express Modules, conveniently placed directly next to the controller. The Controller is suitable for PXI Express Chassis that implement a PXI Express System Slot 4-Link configuration.

Connecting a single PXI Express System to the Desktop PC 1) Install the Controller into the appropriate system slot. Danger of electrostatic discharge! To protect both yourself and the computer from electrical hazards, The PXIe system should remain off until you finish installing all hardware as instructed.
Installing Software The Remote Controller does not require any additional software drivers. The Controller is enumerated fully with the use of conventional standard PCI-to-PCI bridge drivers. Note: The Controller does not implement a SMBus Interface. Therefore, the chassis can’t be enumerated with the PXI Express Resource Manager.
