Functional Overview

PCI Express is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus. The ExpressCard
standard specifies the PCIe slots built into a computer and the PCIe expansion
cards to insert in the slots. 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.
The link between the PC and the chassis is a x1 cabled PCI Express link. This link
is a dual-simplex communication channel comprised of a low-voltage,
differentially driven signal pair. The link can transmit at a rate of 2.5 Gbps in each
direction simultaneously.

- If the system fan fails the chassis will shut down automatically,
preventing the chassis and modules from damage due to
overheating. The chassis will not attempt another power on
until AC power has been cycled.
- If the power supply has a failure, the chassis will prevent
potential damage by shutting down automatically. The chassis
will not attempt another power on until AC power has been
cycled.
