Slot blocker kits (part number Y1212A) are available from Keysight for improved thermal performance when all slots are not used. Rack Mount Kit A rack mount kit (part number Y1274A) is available for mounting the M9005A chassis into a 19 in. instrument cabinet. Refer to Figure 19 on page 48 for more information.
Getting Started M9005A Chassis Backplane Overview Interoperability with CompactPCI The design of the M9005A chassis provides you the flexibility to use the following devices in a single PXI Express chassis: - PXI Express compatible products - CompactPCI Express compatible Type-2 peripheral products...
Getting Started M9005A Chassis Backplane Overview Interface The M9005A chassis has a built-in x1 interface that can be accessed through the chassis controller connector on the back of the chassis, as shown in Figure The interface can be cabled to a remote system with a host card using a x1 cable to provide control of the M9005A chassis.
The PXI trigger lines allow you to send trigger signals to, and receive trigger signals from, every slot in the chassis. Static trigger routing (user-specified line assignments) can be configured through Keysight Connection Expert. Dynamic routing of triggers (automatic line assignments) is supported through certain Keysight drivers.
M9005A Chassis Backplane Overview System Reference Clock The M9005A provides a 10 MHz clock (PXI_CLK10) and 100 MHz clock (PXIe_CLK100) to each peripheral slot. The 100 MHz clock is a high speed LVPECL clock, while the 10 MHz clock is a TTL/CMOS clock. The backplane also provides a PXIe_SYNC100 signal which asserts a 10 ns pulse which is synchronous to PXIe_CLK100.
User Guide Installation and Configuration This chapter describes how to install, configure, and use the M9005A chassis. There is no IVI driver included with this chassis. Also, there is no Soft Front Panel. The software provided on the M9005A PXIe...
- Modification—Do not modify any part of the chassis from its original condition. Unsuitable modifications may result in safety hazards. Chassis Cooling Considerations The M9005A chassis is designed to operate on a bench or in an instrument rack. Determine how you want to use the chassis and follow the appropriate installation instructions.
High-power applications may require additional clearance. 1 Air Outlets 2 Air Intake Figure 8 M9005A Module Cooling Airflow Side View Do not block air intake. This could lead to overheating. Keysight M9005A PXIe Chassis User Guide...
39. Slot 6 will have higher temperature rise than other slots. Setting Fan Speed The AUTO/HIGH fan-speed selector switch is on the rear panel of the M9005A. Refer to Figure 2 on page 5, to locate the fan-speed selector switch. Select HIGH for maximum cooling performance (recommended) or AUTO for quieter operation.
Getting Started With The System To set up and use your cards, you need the following: - One host card (PCI Express or ExpressCard) and one M9005A chassis - A x1 copper cable - A host PC with an available x1 (or wider) PCI Express slot or a laptop with an...
Remove the device from the package and inspect the device for loose components or any sign of damage. Notify Keysight if the device appears damaged in any way. Do not install a damaged device into the computer or PXI/CompactPCI chassis.
2 Touch the ExpressCard module and a metal part of the PXI chassis simultaneously. 3 Connect the cable to the ExpressCard module and the M9005A chassis. 4 Plug the ExpressCard module into an available ExpressCard slot. If your computer is already running (or hibernating) when you install ExpressCard module, you must reboot to detect the PXI system.
2 Remove the top cover or access port to the PCI Express bus. 3 Select any available PCI Express expansion slot (x1 or wider). The BIOS or motherboard may not support the PCI Express host card in a slot intended for a graphics card. Keysight M9005A PXIe Chassis User Guide...

Figure 11 PCI Express Host Card Cable Connection Cabling Connect the appropriate cable to the PCI Express card and M9005A chassis. The cables have no polarity, so either end may be connected to either connector. remove the cable after the system is powered up. Doing so can hang or cause errors in applications communicating with devices.
As a result, the user must press and hold the power button for 3 seconds in order to power down a linked-up M9005A. The order in which expansion chassis are powered off, relative to each other, is not important.
ExpressCard is a laptop expansion card interface. Plugging the ExpressCard into a laptop provides point-to-point connectivity to the PCIe connector, in this case, built into the M9005A chassis. The PCI Express-to-PCI bridge architecture is transparent to device drivers, so no additional software is needed to support using PXI and CompactPCI devices in a connected chassis.
7, for a description of the various slot types. This section contains general installation instructions for installing a peripheral module in a M9005A chassis. Refer to your peripheral module user manual for specific instructions and warnings. To install a module, complete the following steps: Do not insert a hybrid PXI module (with J1 and XJ4 connectors) into slot 2 or 3, or pin damage may occur.
Chassis driver software provided with the M9005 allows the system PXI Resource manager to enumerate the M9005 chassis and its installed peripheral modules. You can configure both PXIe and PXI-1 chassis through Keysight IO Libraries (version 17.2 or later), which is available through www.keysight.com/find/iosuite.

ASCII text. System integrators, configuration utilities, and device drivers can use these .ini files. The capability documentation for the M9005A chassis is contained in the chassis.ini file on the software media that comes with the chassis. The information in this file is combined with information about the system controller to create a single system initialization file called pxisys.ini (PXI System Initialization).

M9005A PXIe Chassis User Guide Maintenance This chapter describes basic maintenance procedures you can perform on the M9005A chassis. Disconnect the power cables prior to servicing the chassis. Service Interval Clean dust from the chassis exterior (and interior) as needed, based on the operating environment.
If any dirt remains, wipe with a cloth moistened in a mild soap solution. Remove any soap residue by wiping with a cloth moistened with clear water. Do not use abrasive compounds on any part of the chassis. Keysight M9005A PXIe Chassis User Guide...
Performing the following steps can assist in narrowing down what’s causing the issue. This troubleshooting process assumes the chassis powers on fine and can communicate with the adapter card via Keysight Connection Expert (part of the Keysight IO Libraries Suite).
(less likely) an issue with the integrated MXI on the chassis. If it ends up being the chassis, return the chassis to Keysight. Note that it should only be returned after being tested on multiple systems, preferably with multiple PCIe cables and even PCIe/ExpressCards.
