NI PXIe-1085 Series User Manual Optional Equipment Contact National Instruments to order the following options for the NI PXIe-1085 Series chassis. EMC Filler Panels Optional EMC filler panel kits are available from National Instruments. Rack Mount Kit There are two required kits for mounting the NI PXIe-1085 Series chassis into a rack. The first is a pair of mounting brackets for use on the front of the chassis.
Chapter 1 Getting Started System Controller Slot NI PXIe-1085 12 GB/s The system controller slot is Slot 1 of the chassis and is a 2-Link configuration system slot as defined by the CompactPCI Express and PXI Express specifications. It has three system controller expansion slots for system controller modules that are wider than one slot.
Chapter 1 Getting Started Hybrid Peripheral Slots The chassis provides 16 hybrid peripheral slots as defined by the PXI-5 PXI Express Hardware Specification: slots 2-9 and slots 11-18. A hybrid peripheral slot can accept the following peripheral modules: • NI PXIe-1085 12 GB/s—A PXI Express peripheral with x8, x4, or x1 PCI Express link through a switch to the system slot.
Chapter 1 Getting Started The system timing slot has a pin (PXIe_SYNC_CTRL) through which a system timing module can control the PXIe_SYNC100 timing. Refer to the PXI Express Specification and the PXIe_SYNC_CTRL section of this chapter for details. Figure 1-5. PXI Express Star Connectivity Diagram STAR STAR 10 DSTAR 1...
NI PXIe-1085 Series User Manual (MAX). Dynamic routing of triggers (automatic line assignments) is supported through certain National Instruments drivers like NI-DAQmx. Although any trigger line may be routed in either direction, it cannot be Note routed in more than one direction at a time.

Chapter 1 Getting Started on this pin, the backplane automatically phase-locks the PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100, and PXIe_SYNC100 signals to this external clock and distributes these signals to the slots. Refer to Appendix A, Specifications, for the specification information for an external clock provided on the PXI_CLK10_IN pin of the system timing slot.
• Part Replacement—Only service this equipment with parts that are exact replacements, both electrically and mechanically. Contact National Instruments for replacement part information. Installation of parts with those that are not direct replacements may cause harm to personnel operating the chassis. Furthermore, damage or fire may occur if replacement parts are unsuitable.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Chassis Cooling Considerations The NI PXIe-1085 Series chassis is designed to operate on a bench or in an instrument rack. The chassis must be oriented horizontally for benchtop use. Vertical orientation with the chassis handle up is not a supported configuration. Regardless of the configuration, you must provide the cooling clearances as outlined in the following sections.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Chassis Ambient Temperature Definition The chassis fan control system uses intake air temperature as the input for controlling fan speeds when in Auto Fan Speed mode. Because of this, the chassis ambient temperature is defined as the temperature that exists just outside of the fan intake vents on the rear of the chassis.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Connecting Safety Ground The NI PXIe-1085 Series chassis are designed with a three-position Caution NEMA 5-15 style plug for the U.S. that connects the ground line to the chassis ground. To minimize shock hazard, make sure the electrical power outlet you use to power the chassis has an appropriate earth safety ground.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Figure 2-5 shows a PXI Express system controller installed in the system controller slot of a NI PXIe-1085 Series chassis. You can place CompactPCI, CompactPCI Express, PXI, or PXI Express modules in other slots depending on the slot type. Figure 2-5.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration The Ethernet controller can perform automatic crossover, thus eliminating the Note need for crossover cables. Through the remote monitoring Ethernet interface of the chassis, you can access a web page with information about the current chassis operating parameters. You can access this page in most browsers.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Figure 2-9 shows a fan module LED. Table 2-3 describes the LED states. Figure 2-9. Fan Module LED Fan Module LED Table 2-3. Fan Module LED States State Description Fan module LED Chassis is powered off. Steady green Fan is operating normally.

Dynamic reservation/routing/deallocation is on the fly within a user program based upon National Instruments APIs such as NI-DAQmx. Static reservation of trigger lines can be implemented by the user in MAX through the Triggers tab.
NI PXIe-1085 Series User Manual PXI Trigger Bus Routing Some National Instruments chassis, such as the NI PXIe-1085 Series and the NI PXI-1044/1045, have the capability to route triggers from one bus to others within the same chassis using the Trigger Routing tab in MAX, as shown in Figure 2-10.
Installation and Configuration. If the power switch LED is not a steady green, contact National Instruments. Verify that the NI PXIe-1085 Series chassis can meet the power requirements of your CompactPCI or PXI Express modules. Overloading the chassis can cause the breaker to trip.
Chapter 3 Maintenance Connecting Safety Ground Refer to the Connecting Safety Ground section of Chapter 2, Installation and Configuration. Connecting to Power Source Refer to the Connecting to Power Source section of Chapter 2, Installation and Configuration. Installing Replacement Fan Modules Follow these steps to remove a failed fan module: Pinch both snaps at the top of the fan module simultaneously.
