2.2.4: Connecting a remote controller PC to the chassis

M5200A PXIe Digitizer Modules Startup Guide
A remote controller is an external, Windows-based PC that connects to
the chassis through a PCIe cable. The remote controller can be a desktop
PC, a laptop PC, or a rack-mounted PC. If your configuration contains a
Keysight Cable Interface module, follow the procedure below.
The following procedure addresses using a cabled PCIe interface

between the chassis and an external host computer. However, if you
intend to use a system module to control a subordinate downstream
chassis or RAID configuration:
1. Install the module in an x8 hybrid slot in the PXIe chassis.
2. Reverse the switch settings from those noted in this procedure: On the
module, set both the S301 switches to "Host" and set the S201 rocker
switch to the left-hand position. On the chassis backplane, set the
controller slot power-supply switch to the left.
1 Locate slot 1 in the chassis, with the
2 Set the chassis controller slot power supply switch to the right-hand
position. This provides power to slot 1 for the benefit of the PCIe
interface card.

4 On the module, set both S301 switches to the Host (right-hand)
position and set the S201 rocker switch to the left-hand position.
5 Install the Cable Interface module into the chassis:
• While holding the module by the injector/ejector handle and making
sure the injector/ejector handle is pushed down in the unlatched
(downward) position, slide the module into chassis, using the slot
guides (top and bottom).
• Sliding the module into position, when you begin to feel resistance,
pull up on the injector/ejector handle to fully inject the module into
the chassis backplane connectors.
• Tighten the module retaining screws (top and bottom) and torque
them to 5 Lb-In (0.57 N-m).
