About the Chassis Introduction Figure 1 shows the front view of the M9019A chassis. The M9010A chassis is similar but has ten slots. Figure 1 Keysight M9019A PXI Chassis (the other chassis are similar) Figure 2 shows the front view of the M9046A PXIe chassis.
Two front panel SMB trigger connectors connect to the PXI [0:7] backplane trigger bus in Trigger Bus Segment 1 in the M9010A chassis and Trigger Bus Segment 2 in the M9019A chassis. See the Keysight PXIe Chassis User Guide for detailed information.
M9046A Advanced Rear Trigger Access (Option 001) Eight rear panel SMB trigger ports connect to all 3 Trigger Bus Segments in the M9046A chassis. See the Keysight M9046A PXIe Chassis User Guide for detailed information. This option requires drivers version 1.7.913.1 or later and firmware version 2023A or later.
The M9046A chassis has three fans that push air from the rear of the chassis and an optional top fan tray with four fans pulls air out from above the module slots. Figure 7 Keysight M9046A PXIe Chassis Top View with Option 003 Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide...

PC or laptop with Thunderbolt 3 technology, the M9025A PXIe System Module can be used to connect the PXIe chassis to PC or laptop. An embedded controller, such as the Keysight M9038A Embedded Controller, is a small form-factor, Windows-based PC that is designed for installation in the system controller slot of the chassis (slot 1).
DO NOT use these techniques for a static-safe work station when working on circuitry with a voltage potential greater than 500 volts. All front and rear panel I/O port cables are not recommended to be longer than 3 meters. Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide...
When shipping the M9046A chassis, use original packaging or comparable to avoid damage to the product. Keysight suggests that you save the chassis shipping container in case it ever becomes necessary to return the chassis to Keysight for service. Return the Chassis to Keysight for service. Chassis Shipment Verification Verify that your chassis shipment contains the following items: –...
Use only the power cord supplied with the chassis. Keysight power cords ensure continuity between the chassis grounding-type power plug and the safety ground terminal at the power outlet.
When operating the instrument at 100/120 VAC 50/60/400 Hz or 220/240 VAC 50/60 Hz, a ground cable (not provided by Keysight) must be connected to the rear panel of the instrument to a proper ground socket of the building. Install a...

1. 32-bit operating systems do not support large, multi-chassis systems. For details, refer to Keysight's Multi-Chassis Designer tool. This tool is available on-line at: www.keysight.com/find/pxie-multichassis 2. Because of the installation procedure, less memory may be required for operation than is required for installation.
Removing and Installing Filler Panels The chassis is shipped from the factory with all filler panels installed. If additional filler panels are needed, a set of five may be ordered using the Keysight part number: Y1213A. For more information, see: www.keysight.com/find/Y1213A.

100/120 VAC or 50/60/400 Hz, or 220/240 VAC, and 50/60 Hz frequency. Since 400 Hz frequency is not supported for M9019A/M9010A, ensure that AC supply line voltage is within the range of 100/120 VAC, or 220/240 VAC, and 50/60 Hz frequency for M9019A/M9010A.
The method of powering up the chassis depends on the position of the INHIBIT rear panel switch, which can be set to the DEF (default) position or to the MAN (manual) position. These two methods are shown on the interactive block diagram and work as follows: Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide...
For information on using the Inhibit signal on the rear panel DB-9 connector to power the chassis up and down, see the Keysight PXIe Chassis User Guide.

Using Keysight Connection Expert Step 3: Turn On Chassis and Verify Operation The M9010A has a protective algorithm to monitor the AC input current and if the AC input current goes above 8.5A, it will automatically power-off. When automatically powered-off, the chassis will continually blink the blue power LED 3 times.
PC Startup Requirements for Keysight IO Libraries Suite This section describes the PC startup events for Keysight Connection Expert (one of the utilities in the Keysight IO Libraries Suite). Keysight recommends using the latest version Keysight IO Libraries Suit. Two situations exist where Connection Expert, which is part of Keysight IO Libraries Suite, will not display a PCIe device, either the chassis or a module in the chassis.
Independent of whether you plan to run the SFP in Hardware Mode or Simulation Mode, the SFP is started from the Start menu as follows: Start > All Programs > Keysight > PXIe Chassis Family > PXIe Chassis SFP Simulation Mode If no chassis has been detected by Connection Expert, the SFP startup dialog appears as shown in the following image.
SFP includes an Allow Control check box that is unchecked by default. The unchecked box prevents any configuration change from being made. In the Keysight PXIe Chassis User Guide, which describes how to use the SFP to configure the chassis, this check box will be checked.
