1. Safety Intended Application PXI Express PXCe4006 series chassis are not end-products, so there is no valid approval for this unit. In Order to enable stand-alone functionality, additional elements are required. An operational system is achieved only by way of appropriate Measurement Cards. The completion and final testing of the units have been carried out, or at least supervised, by qualified technicians.
Safety Instructions The intended audience of this User's Manual is system Integrators and hardware/software engineers. The product has been designed to meet relevant standard industrial safety requirements. It must not be used except in its specific area of office telecommunication industry and industrial control. It shall not be used in safety-critical applications, life-sustaining appliances or in aircraft.
Electrical Hazards The caution label on the system's rear near the grounding studs shows that you have to create an earth connection because there may be a high leakage current which is considered hazardous. High leakage current can cause injuries. Ensure that the system is properly grounded at all times, the following conditions shall be met: •...
2. Product Description The PXCe4006 series Slimbox is a six Slot PXI Express Chassis. The Slimbox fully complies with the PXI-5 PXI Express Hardware Specification. To reduce space in modern test systems the PXCe4006 features a very compact 1U 19” design. There are one PXIe System Slot, one PXIe Peripheral Slot and four fully Hybrid peripheral slots available.

System Controller Slot The System Controller slot is Slot 1of the chassis and is a 4-Link configuration system slot as defined in CompactPCI Express and PXI Express Specification. The backplane connects the system slot using three times PCIe X4 to the peripheral slots. One PCIe link of the system slot connects to a PCIe Switch using PCIe Gen 2 X1.
PCI Express Backplane Diagram Figure 2-4 shows the PXCe4006 series backplane’s PCIe interface. Slot 3, 4 and 6 are connected with the system slot using PCIe X4. These slots have up to 2 GB/s (single direction) dedicated bandwidth (X4 Gen-2 PCI Express). Slots 2 and 5 are connected with the system slot using PCIe X1.
PXI Trigger Bus All slots share eight trigger lines. Figure 2-5 shows the PXCe4006 series backplane’s Trigger interface. System Reference Clock The PXCe4006 Slimbox chassis supplies PXI_CLK10, PXIE_CLK100, and PXIE_SYNC100 independently driven to each slot. PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100 and PXIe_SYNC100 have the default timing relationship according to PXI-5 PXI Express Hardware Specification.

The PLL is connected to the SMB 10 MHz input clock if the input clock is present. The presence of the input clock is automatically detected. If there is no input clock present, the clock source to the PLL is a 10 MHz Clock oscillator.
Front Panel LEDs Figure 2-8 shows the location of the front panel LEDs. Table 2-1 describes the front panel LED states State Description Fan LED Chassis is powered off One or more chassis fans have failed Power LED Chassis is powered off Green Power supply is active, and all voltages are within normal operating ranges.
3. Installation Connecting Chassis Grounding The system contains gaskets at the chassis and board level to guard against electromagnetic interference (EMI). Each of the chassis’ individual components make contact with the gaskets and to the PE-stud inside the rear panel. The guide rails are also fitted with electrostatic discharge (ESD) contacts for each blade.
Installing Hardware 1.) Attach input power to the rear AC input using an appropriate AC power cable before installing the system controller. 2.) Install the PXIe Remote Controller into the system controller slot. Slot 1 is indicated with the red card guides.
Make sure that the installer is executed within the folder that is delivered with the installer. After running the installer the Hartmann Electronic PXCe4006 series slimbox is automatically detected through the National Instruments Measurement and Automation Explorer as shown in the Image below.
4. Maintaining the Chassis Replacing the Fan Tray The fan tray can be accessed from the front on the right side of the chassis. Removing the Fan Tray • Loosen the four mounting screws (top and bottom) on the front of the fan tray. •...
5. Service Technical support and Return for Service Assistance Please return the complete chassis system. For all product returns and support issues, please contact your Hartmann sales distributor or www.hartmann-electronic.com Please use the original packing material. Shipping without the original packing material might void the warranty.
