No other drivers are required to operate the controller module. However, your application modules may require drivers. If possible, you should connect the M9038A to the Internet and download drivers from the original source. Alternately, you can transfer the drivers on a USB memory stick and install them accordingly. -
Page 15: Step 3: Install The M9038A Embedded Controller
Keysight’s M9038A can operate with all of the PCIe fabric configurations found on a Keysight PXIe chassis as well as the standard 4x4 fabric used on non-Keysight PXIe chassis. - Page 16 Remove the screw protection caps from the four M9038A retaining screws. Push down on the controller’s ejector/injector handle. Carefully align the M9038A board edges with the chassis guide rails for slot 1 (red guide rails) and insert the controller into the guide rails.

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen. Under Windows Activation, you can view the activation status. End User License Agreement (EULA) First time you turn on the M9038A and Windows starts, you must accept the End User License Agreement (EULA). A copy of the Windows EULA is located at: C:\ boot\SoftwareLicenseTerms.rtf. -
Page 20: Windows Update
The factory default setting for Windows Automatic Updates is to check for updates and notify the user if updates are available. It will not automatically install updates. This ensures that your M9038A is not modified, unless you accept an update. -

Default Administrator Password: Keysight4u! They Keysight standard for the Administrator password is Keysight4u! Your M9038A Administrator account is most likely is set with this password. If it is not set with this password, then there is no password. Change Administrator Password The default Administrator password is public knowledge. -
Page 22: Remote Desktop Connection
Remote Desktop Connection The standard Microsoft application “Remote Desktop Connection” allows you to remotely login to the M9038A across the LAN from another computer. It only works if the accounts have passwords. If your Administrator password is set on your M9038A, then the Remote Desktop Connection is enabled by default. -

- 1x8 Configuration — Referred to as 1x8, this configuration provides one x8 link from the M9038A embedded controller to the PCIe switch fabric. While the 1x8 configuration will work with the M9038A, it is better suited for use with the M9021A system module which supports 8 PCIe lanes. - Page 28 M9018B PXIe Chassis PCIe Link Configuration - 4x4 Configuration — Referred to as 4x4, this configuration provides four x4 links from the M9038A embedded controller to the PCIe switch fabric. While the 4x4 configuration will work with the M9038A, it is more advantageous with certain non-Keysight system modules.
