1. Introduction
The PXIe chassis is the backbone of a PXIe system. It contains a high performance backplane giving the cards in the system the ability to communicate rapidly with one another. It also provides power and cooling.
Keysight provides two 18-slot PXIe chassis:
M9018A
M9019A
For more information on M9018A, refer to the M9018A user documentation available at www.keysight.com/find/M9018A . This guide provides detailed information on using the M9019A.
About this guide
The Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide describes how to connect the chassis to a host PC, power-up the chassis and verify basic operation, including the following:
The features and capabilities of PXIe chassis
How a chassis system is shipped and what is included with the chassis itself
Computer hardware and software requirements, installation of an embedded controller, connection of a remote controller, and software installation on the controller
How to use Connection Expert and the chassis soft front panel (SFP) to verify operation of the chassis
Overview of installing and verifying Keysight modules in the chassis, and is intended to supplement your module documentation
Terminologies
Before continuing, some important terminology is presented. The computer that controls the chassis is known as the host controller or system controller, and is shown at the top of the hierarchy in the following figure.
Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide
The host controller can either be a remote controller or an embedded controller. A remote controller is a Windows-based PC, and can be a desktop PC, or a rack mounted PC. The remote controller interfaces to the chassis through a PCIe cable.
An embedded controller, such as the Keysight M9037A Embedded Controller, is a small form factor, Windows-based PC that is designed for installation in the system controller slot (slot 1) of the chassis. An embedded controller also consumes two or three expansion slots to the left of slot 1.
The combination of the chassis, the host controller (and a PCIe cable if the host controller is a remote controller), and the chassis I/O software running on the host controller is referred to as a chassis system.
In order for a PC to serve as a remote controller, its BIOS must support enumeration of the PCIe slots in the chassis; many computers are not capable of enumerating a sufficient number of PCIe slots to ensure that slots in an external chassis are enumerated.
Keysight provides the document PC Tested Configurations with PXI/AXIe
Chassis - Technical Overview, which lists the embedded, desktop, laptop, and rack-mounted PCs that have been verified to enumerate the PCIe slots in the
PXIe chassis. Use this document, available under the Document Library tab at www.keysight.com/find/pxi-chassis , to guide your selection of remote controller PCs.
M9019A key features
The Keysight Technologies M9019A PXIe chassis is designed for easy integration into large systems containing multiple PXIe chassis and other non-PXI instrumentation. It has 16 PXIe hybrid slots, which allows the system designer to mix and match the number and location of PXIe and hybrid-compatible modules.
Its ultra-high performing PCIe switch fabric can operate up to Gen 3 providing up to 24 GB/s of system data bandwidth. The innovative cooling design allows the chassis to fit into 4U of rack space, in most cases.

Static-safe handling procedures
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. Use a static-safe work station to perform all work on electronic assemblies. The figure
(left) shows a static-safe work station using two types of ESD protection:
Conductive table-mat and wrist-strap combination
Conductive floor-mat and heel-strap combination
Both types, when used together, provide a significant level of ESD protection. Of the two, only the table-mat and wrist-strap combination provides adequate ESD protection when used alone. To ensure user safety, the static-safe accessories must provide at least 1 MΩ of isolation from ground.
DO NOT use these techniques for a static-safe work station when working on circuitry with a voltage potential greater than 500 volts.

2. Step1: Verify the Shipment
Contents
Depending on your order, your shipment may arrive in separate boxes. For example, if you order the M9019A chassis, the M9022A PXIe system module, and the Y1202A cable, your order will arrive in three separate boxes.
Carefully inspect your shipment for any shipping damage. Report any damage to the shipping agent immediately, as such damage is not covered by warranty.
Keysight suggests that you save the chassis shipping container in case it ever becomes necessary to return the chassis to Keysight for service. See the How to Return the Chassis to Keysight section in the Keysight PXIe Chassis Family
Service Guide describes how to return the chassis to Keysight for service.
M9019A chassis shipment verification
Verify that your chassis shipment contains the following items:
Keysight M9019A PXIe Chassis
Power cord
This document in hard copy
Software and Product Information CD (M9019-10001) — This CD contains software and product documentation in PDF format for the M9019A chassis.
The weight of an empty M9019A PXIe chassis (no modules installed in the chassis) is approximately 2
9.8 lbs lbs (13.5 kg). Lift the chassis using a single side handle only when the total chassis weight (chassis plus installed modules) does not exceed 75 lbs (34.0 kg). Otherwise use both side handles to lift the chassis.
Installing modules in the chassis may increase its weight to a point where two people are required to lift the chassis. If two people are not available, use a mechanical lift to lift the chassis. The chassis should be transported using a rolling cart.

3. Step 2: Prepare the hardware
The following procedures should be followed to ensure safety and to minimize the possibility of damaging electrical components:
This product is designed for use in Installation Category II and
Pollution Degree 2, per IEC 61010 Second Edition and 664 respectively.
Mains wiring and connectors shall be compatible with the connector used in the premise electrical system. Failure to ensure adequate earth grounding by not using correct components may cause product damage and serious injury.
Use only the power cord supplied with the chassis. Keysight power cords ensure continuity between the chassis groundingtype power plug and the safety ground terminal at the power outlet.
Install the chassis so that the detachable power cord is readily identifiable and is easily reached by the operator. The detachable power cord is the chassis disconnecting device. It disconnects the mains circuits from the mains supply to the chassis before other parts of the chassis. The front panel switch is only a standby switch and is not a LINE switch. Alternatively, an externally installed switch or circuit breaker (which is readily identifiable and is easily reached by the operator) may be used as a disconnecting device.
The chassis does not support hot-swapping of modules; i.e., inserting and removing modules with the chassis powered up.
Before installing modules in the chassis, powered down the chassis and disconnected from AC power.
To minimize the possibility of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to a module while installing it, follow the handling procedures described in
Static-safe handling procedures on page
Host controller hardware and software requirements
The Keysight IO Libraries Suite is the largest software component in the chassis software installation, and its performance is the biggest contributor to system performance. Therefore, the host controller requirements in the following are based on optimizing the installation and performance of the IO Libraries Suite.

Setting up the chassis on a bench
This guide assumes that chassis preparation, turn-on and verification are performed on the bench prior to installing the chassis in a rack. If you prefer to install the chassis in a rack first, see the Keysight PXIe Chassis Family User
Guide on the Software and Product Information CD for rack mounting instructions.
The primary consideration in using the chassis on a bench is ensuring adequate ventilation for cooling. Cooling air enters through the vent holes on the bottom, sides, and front of the chassis, and exits through the rear of the chassis. For bench use, ensure that the feet are installed on the chassis so that air can enter through the bottom of the chassis. Also ensure that there is at least 50 mm (2 inches) of clearance on the sides, front, and rear of the chassis.
Removing and installing filler panels
The chassis is shipped from the factory with all filler panels installed. For the 18 slots, the filler panels are 20.32 mm (.8 inches) wide; these are referred to as narrow filler panels. The expansion slot to the left of slot 1 is three slots wide; hence, the filler panel for the expansion slot is 60.96 mm (2.4 inches) wide and is referred to as a wide filler panel.
The filler panels are held in place by captive screws (two screws for narrow filler panels and four screws for wide filler panels). When installing a filler panel, the captive screws should be tightened securely to ensure the filler panel is wellgrounded to the chassis.
1 6
Ensure that filler panels are installed in all empty slots. Missing filler panels will impact cooling of the chassis and may cause RFI (radio frequency interference) with other devices.
Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide
In addition to installing modules and filler panels in chassis slots, air inlet modules can also be installed in chassis slots. These modules contain holes in their face plates, and can be placed adjacent to high power modules for additional cooling. Keysight provides an air inlet module kit as listed in Keysight PXIe Chassis
Family Specification Guide . For information on using air inlet modules, see the Keysight PXIe Chassis Family User Guide .
Do not install modules in the peripheral slots yet. In this step, only slot 1, the system controller slot, will have a module installed. Deferring the installation of other modules until later will allow the chassis to be turned on and verified in its simplest configuration.
To prepare the hardware, either an embedded controller or a PXIe system module will be installed in slot 1, depending on your configuration. Both of these installations are described in this step.
Connecting a remote controller PC to the chassis
A remote controller is an external, Windows-based PC that connects to the chassis through a PCIe cable. The remote controller can be a desktop PC, a laptop PC, or a rack-mounted PC.
In order for a PC to serve as a remote controller, its BIOS must support enumeration of the PCIe slots in the chassis; many computers are not capable of enumerating a sufficient number of PCIe slots to ensure that slots in an external chassis are enumerated.
Keysight provides the document PC Tested Configurations with PXI/AXIe
Chassis Technical Overview which lists the embedded, desktop, laptop, and rack-mounted PCs that have been verified to enumerate the PCIe slots in the
PXIe chassis. Use this document, available under the Document Library tab at www.keysight.com/find/M9019A , to guide your selection of remote controller
PCs. For general controller requirements, such as RAM and hard disk requirements, see the
Host controller hardware and software requirements on page 1 4 section.
To connect a remote controller PC to the chassis, perform the three steps listed below. When handling PC adapter cards and chassis modules, be sure to follow the static-safe procedures described in
Static-safe handling procedures on page 1
Step 1. Install a PXIe system module in the chassis
The first step is to install a PXIe system module, such as the Keysight M9022A/
M9023A/M9024A PXIe system module, in the chassis system controller slot (slot 1).
PXIe system modules contain a PCIe cable connector that permits a PCIe cable to be connected between the module and the remote controller. To install the PXIe system module in slot 1, follow the instructions provided with the module as you perform the following steps:
1.
Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide 1 7
1. Turn the chassis off and unplug the chassis from AC power.
Before inserting the module, inspect the chassis slot to ensure there are no bent pins on the slot connectors.
2
. Insert the module in the chassis slot by placing the module card edges into the top and bottom module guides.
To avoid damaging the module, do not touch exposed connectors or components on the printed circuit board as you install the module.
Modules are usually shipped with thread protectors on the mounting screw threads. These protectors must be removed before installing modules in the chassis.
Take care to ensure that the module is aligned perpendicularly to the chassis as you begin sliding it in. Otherwise, it is possible for components on the module (or on adjacent modules) to be damaged by contact between modules.
3
. With the injector/ejector handle in the down position, carefully slide the module to the rear of the chassis. When you begin to feel resistance from the backplane connectors, push up on the injector/ejector handle to complete insertion of the module and latch it into place.
1 8
4
. Secure the module front panel to the chassis using the captive front panel mounting screws. All modules have two captive mounting screws. Tighten the screws for both mechanical security and to ensure proper grounding of the front panel.
Ensure that all empty chassis slots are covered by filler panels or air inlet modules.
1.
Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide

.
Plug in and power up the chassis. Verify that the chassis fans are operating and free of obstructions that may restrict airflow.
Step 2. Install a PCIe host adapter in the remote controller PC
Keysight offers the M9048B (x8)/ M9049A (x16). PCIe host adapter for desktop and rack-mounted PCs. To install an adapter in your remote controller PC, follow the instructions provided with your adapter.
Step 3. Connect a PCIe cable between the remote controller PC and the chassis
Connect the appropriate PCIe cable between the remote controller PCIe host adapter and the chassis PXIe system module.
All PCIe cable connector components, including the connectors on the cables and the receptacles on the M9022A/ M9023A/ M9024A/ M9048B/ M9049A interface products, are limited to 250 mating cycles. Beyond this, signal integrity will be impaired. Therefore, the chassis and its accessories should not be used in applications where the number of connector mating cycles will exceed 250 cycles.
Installing an embedded controller in the chassis
An embedded controller, such as the Keysight M9037A Embedded Controller, is a small form factor, Windows-based PC that is designed to be installed in the system controller slot (slot 1) of the chassis. The embedded controller also occupies the two or three expansion slots to the left of slot 1; the expansion slot does not contain a connector.
Before installing an embedded controller, turn the chassis off and unplug it from AC power.
To install an embedded controller in the chassis, remove the filler panel in slot 1 and the three-wide filler panel to the left of slot 1. Keysight recommends that you retain these filler panels for future use—for example, if you later replace the embedded controller with a PXIe system module to interface to a remote controller.
Because the PXIe system module only consumes one slot, the expansion slot must be covered with the three-wide filler panel to maintain proper airflow and RFI shielding.
To avoid damaging the embedded controller during installation, do not touch exposed connector pins or components on the printed circuit boards.
To install your embedded controller, follow the instructions provided earlier for the
PXIe system module as well as the instructions provided with your controller.
Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide 1 9

Once the embedded controller is installed in the chassis, you can interface to the controller by connecting a keyboard, mouse, and monitor to it; alternatively, you can interface to the controller through its network port using software such as
Microsoft Remote Desktop.
Keysight IO Libraries Suite and the PXIe chassis drivers are pre-installed on the
M9037A Embedded Controller. If you are using this embedded controller, you can skip the remainder of this step, and proceed to
STEP 3: Turn On Chassis and Verify Operation on page 2 3 .
Installation of Keysight software on the embedded controller is described in the next section. However, because the software is provided on CDs and because embedded controllers typically do not have optical drives, you should determine which software installation option will work best for you. The installation options include:
Obtain a USB interface optical drive and connect it to one of the embedded controller USB ports.
Copy the CD software to the embedded controller hard drive, and then execute the installation process from the hard drive. To do this, the CD software can be read on a PC optical drive, and then copied to the embedded controller over the network or by using a USB flash drive.
If the embedded controller is connected to the network, you can download the required software from www.keysight.com/find/M9019A , and not use the CDs supplied with the chassis.
Installing software on the host controller
This section describes how to install the host controller software, and applies to both remote controllers and embedded controllers. To install the software, you must have administrator privileges on the host controller, and the software must be installed in the following order:
1.
Keysight IO Libraries Suite - This is a collection of libraries and utilities that enable you to connect your chassis to the host controller and run programs on the host controller that interact with the chassis. The IO Libraries Suite is used with all Keysight instruments, and is not specific to the PXIe chassis.
Keysight recommends using the latest version of IO Libraries Suite available.
2.
PXIe chassis drivers - This software consists of the chassis soft front panel
(SFP) and the IVI.NET, IVI-C, LabVIEW, and MATLAB drivers for the PXIe chassis. These drivers each provide an API (application programming interface) that can be used to develop programs that interface to the chassis.
Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide
The software installation process is based on using the CDs that are shipped with the chassis. However, as noted in the previous section, you will need to adapt the installation process if you have an embedded controller.
It is recommended to use the latest version of Keysight IO
Libraries Suite.
Installing the Keysight IO Libraries Suite
This section describes installation of the Keysight IO Libraries Suite. Note that it is recommended to use the latest version of the IO Libraries Suite .
Only one installation of the Keysight IO Libraries Suite is required on the host controller PC. This installation is used by both the
PXIe Chassis drivers that are installed in the next section and the drivers associated with each module that you install in the chassis.
Two libraries, IVI Shared Components and VISA Shared
Components, are required by the IO Libraries Suite. If these libraries are not already installed on your controller, the IO
Libraries Suite installer will install them. If IVI Shared
Components and VISA Shared Components are already installed, the IO Libraries Suite installer will upgrade these libraries to the latest version, if necessary, using the same installation location used by the previous version.
For information on Keysight IO Libraries Suite and to get the latest version, go to www.keysight.com/find/iosuite .
Installing the PXIe chassis software
The PXIe chassis software consist of the chassis soft front panel (SFP) and the IVI-
C, IVI.NET, LabVIEW, and MATLAB drivers for the PXIe chassis.
You can install the software from the M9019A Software and Product Information
CD. Alternatively, you can download and install the software.The software is available online at www.keysight.com/M9019A .
Installing the chassis software from M9019A Software and Product Information
CD
To install the M9019A software, perform the following steps:
1. Insert the M9019A Software and Product Information CD into your optical drive. This should automatically display a browser window. If this window is not displayed, use Windows Explorer to locate autorun.exe at the root level of the CD and then execute that program.
2. Click the
Install M9019 Software link, which will bring up the Keysight
M9019A InstallShield Wizard.
3. Click Next and follow the prompts to install the M9019A software. The final dialog prompts you to restart your computer to complete the installation.

Guide.
2 2 Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide
4. STEP 3: Turn On Chassis and
Verify Operation
Do not install modules in the peripheral slots yet—this is done in
STEP 4. The only module that should be installed in the chassis at this time is either an embedded controller or a PXIe system module in slot 1 as described in
This guide assumes that chassis preparation, turn-on and verification are performed on the bench prior to installing the chassis in a rack. If you prefer to install the chassis in a rack first, see the Keysight PXIe Chassis Family User Guide on the Software and Product Information CD for rack mounting information.
If you encounter difficulty in turning on the chassis system, see the troubleshooting information in the Keysight PXIe Chassis
Family User Guide .
This instrument has auto-ranging power supplies, meaning that the chassis does not have a voltage selector switch. Ensure that the AC supply line voltage is within the range of 100-120 VAC or 220-240 VAC, and 50/60 Hz frequency.
If this product is not used as specified, the protection provided by the equipment could be impaired. This product must be used in a normal condition
(in which all means for protection are intact) only.
When you press the chassis power-on button, if the chassis does not power up and the front panel LEDs do not light, it is possible for the chassis to be in a safety shutdown state. Remove the chassis AC power cord from the chassis for one minute. Reconnect the power cord and turn on the chassis again. If it still does not power on, refer to the troubleshooting information in the Keysight
PXIe Chassis Family User Guide .
Power sequencing of the chassis
When powering up the system, the chassis should be powered up first. After powering up the chassis, you should wait at least three seconds before turning on the PC. The chassis front panel temperature LED, which is on for three seconds after the chassis is powered up, provides a convenient way to measure this delay, as shown below.
2 3 Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide
2 4
The PC should be shut down before the chassis is powered down. This will prevent the chassis, as it is being powered down, from disrupting operation of the PC.
In brief, the PC should be off whenever the chassis is powered up or down. Because chassis modules are not hot-swappable, chassis modules should only be added or removed when the chassis is powered down.
The above power sequence does not apply to an embedded controller installed in the chassis because the embedded controller and chassis are powered together.
Methods of powering up the chassis
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:
INHIBIT switch in the DEF position — In this position, the front panel power push button is used to switch the chassis between ON and Standby—hence, this push button is known as the ON/Standby push button. Using this push button requires that a module is installed in the system controller slot (slot
1). This can be a module such as the Keysight M9022A/ M9023A/ M9024A
PXIe system module or an embedded controller.
INHIBIT switch in the MAN position — In this position, the Inhibit signal on the rear panel DB-9 connector controls chassis power. The chassis is powered up by applying a logic high signal to the Inhibit signal. When the
Inhibit signal is low, the chassis is in Standby (off except for 5Vaux, an auxiliary power supply).
Keysight recommends leaving the INHIBIT switch in the DEF position when connecting the AC power cord to the chassis. After inserting the power AC power cord, then move the INHIBIT switch to the MAN position.
Use of the ON/Standby push button to power up the chassis is assumed unless otherwise noted.
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 Family User Guide .
Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide
Chassis front panel LEDs
The chassis contains three LEDs on its front panel to the left of the ON/Standby
(power) push button, as shown in in the following figure.
The front panel LEDs, depending on whether they are off, on continuously, or flashing, provide important information on the status of the chassis, and should be monitored regularly. The following table lists each LED and describes the information it provides.
LED Off On continuously Flashing All three LEDs on for 10 seconds and off for 1 second
Power LED
(blue)
Indicates that the chassis is turned off. If you attempt to turn the chassis on but the Power LED remains off, this can indicate several possible problems
Indicates that the four main supply voltages (3.3V, 5V, 12V, and -12V) plus 5Vaux are within their respective limits. The factory default limits are plus and minus 10% for 3.3V and plus and minus 5% around the nominal values for the other power supply voltages.
Indicates that one or more of the four supply voltages are outside of their limits, either the
5% factory default limits or, if changed, the user set limits.
Refer to the Keysight PXIe
Chassis Family Service Guide for troubleshooting suggestions.
This indicates that the Monitor
Processor, which controls flashing of the LEDs, has been unable to communicate to the Chassis
Manager .
Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide 2 5
2 6
LED Off On continuously Flashing
Fan LED
(green)
See the Keysight
PXIe Chassis
Family Service
Guide for details.
The 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and -12V plus
5Vaux limits can be individually changed for each supply using the
SFP and programmatically changing the limits. The limits, if changed, are reset to 5% at the next chassis power cycle.
Typically indicates that the chassis is turned off.
This could also indicate a failed
LED or a failure of the LED drive circuitry.
Indicates that all three fans are operating above 1200 RPM, the factory default lower limit.
The fan speed limit can be changed using the SFP or programmatically.
The limit, if changed, is reset back to 1200 RPM at the next chassis power cycle.
See the Keysight
PXIe Chassis
Family Service
Guide for details.
If the power supply condition causing the flashing to occur is no longer present, the Power
LED will return to on continuously, i.e. the flashing state is not latched.
Indicates that one or more of the three fans are operating below the limit, either the 1200
RPM factory default limit or, if changed, the user set limit.
If the fan speed condition causing the flashing to occur is no longer present, the Fan LED will return to on continuously, i.
e. the flashing state is not latched.
Temp
(Temperature)
LED (amber)
To avoid this amber LED being interpreted as indicating a temperature problem in the on state, this LED is off if the chassis temperatures are
OK. To allow you to validate that this LED is working, the LED is turned on for the first three seconds after the chassis is powered up
This LED is never on continuously. It will either be off if the temperatures reported by the air flow exit temperature sensors are all below the limit (see left column), or it will be flashing if one or more of the temperature sensors are reporting a temperature above the limit (see right column).
Indicates that at least one of the air flow exit temperature sensors is reporting a temperature above the limit, either the 70°C factory default limit or, if changed, the user set limit.The limit, if changed, is reset back to 70°C at the next chassis power cycle.
If the temperature condition causing the flashing to occur is no longer present, the
Temperature LED will turn off, indicating that the chassis temperatures are OK.
All three LEDs on for 10 seconds and off for 1 second
Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide
The chassis will not intentionally modify its operation because of conditions that cause one or more LEDs to flash. In other words, the chassis will attempt to continue normal operation despite flashing LED(s). However, a flashing LED may indicate a condition that will prevent the chassis from operating correctly. For example, a flashing Fan LED indicates that one or more rear panel fans are under speed, which may cause the temperature of the chassis to rise and exceed specifications. This, in turn, may cause a thermal shutdown of the power supply.
Therefore, flashing LEDs should be tended to promptly. See the Keysight PXIe
Chassis Family Service Guide for further information.
PC startup requirements for Keysight IO Libraries Suite
This section describes the PC startup events for Keysight IO Libraries Suite.
Improvements have been made in Keysight IO Libraries Suite that considerably simplify the PC startup process. Keysight recommends use of latest version
Keysight IO Libraries Suit.
Before describing the PC startup events for each version, two situations are described where Connection Expert, which is part of Keysight IO Libraries Suite, will not display a PCIe device, be it the chassis or a module in the chassis.
1. If Windows can not find a driver for a device, Windows will not be able to identify the device and therefore Connection Expert will not be able to display it. If this occurs, you will typically be presented with the Windows
New Hardware Found Wizard, which will give you the opportunity to assist
Windows in finding a driver. If a driver is found, you should restart the PC and verify that Windows identifies the device (which will be evident by the lack of the New Hardware Found Wizard for that device).
2. The other situation where Connection Expert will not display a PCIe device is in the event that, when Connection Expert is started, Windows has not yet completed assigning drivers to the devices (the chassis or modules in the chassis) found during enumeration. Connection Expert will not display modules that it cannot identify. In this situation, however, the driver exists but it has not yet been assigned to the device by the time Connection Expert is started.
This situation should be very rare; if it occurs, it would be expected to occur with slower PCs. The solution for this situation depends on which version of IO Libraries
Suite you have installed and is described below. For the first-ever connection of the chassis to the PC, or after changing the chassis configuration, only a single boot of the PC is needed. However, sufficient time needs to be allowed between when
Windows is up and when Keysight Connection is started in the following figure.
Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide 2 7
2 8
The two cases described above where Connection Expert does not display the chassis or a module in the chassis can occur with Connection Expert. If the New
Hardware Found Wizard is displayed, follow the steps in the Using Connection
Expert to connect to the chassis section in the Keysight PXIe Chassis Family
Startup Guide to associate a driver with the device. If Connection Expert, does not display a particular device, click the Rescan button to see if Windows has now assigned a driver to the device, which will allow Connection Expert to display the device.
In general, if it ever appears that your chassis configuration as displayed by
Connection Expert differs from your actual configuration, click the Rescan button.
This should align the displayed configuration to the actual configuration.
Even with the latest version of IO Libraries, it is always advisable to boot the PC a second time to ensure that the PC properly enumerates all of the modules within the chassis.
Using Connection Expert to connect to the chassis
Use Connection Expert to confirm that the host controller can connect to the chassis.
1.
Start Connection Expert on the host controller.
2.
Click the
PXI/AXIe Chassis tab.
3.
Click the
Chassis Content tab.
The list of connected chassis appears on the right hand pane as shown in the following image. The chassis indicator is Chassis 2. When you click on Chassis 2, the contents of each slot in the PXIe chassis are displayed in the right pane.
Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide
If Connection Expert successfully displays the chassis slots, continue to the next section, and verify that the soft front panel can interface to the chassis. If
Connection Expert fails to display the chassis slots, see the Keysight PXIe Chassis
Family Service Guide for troubleshooting suggestions.
Using the soft front panel to monitor the chassis
PXIe chassis soft front panel (SFP) can be used both to monitor the status of the chassis as well as configure various chassis parameters, such as the maximum temperature threshold for the temperature alarm. This section describes how to use the SFP to monitor the status of the chassis; configuring chassis parameters is described in the Keysight PXIe Chassis Family User Guide .
Starting the SFP and selecting Hardware Mode or Simulation Mode
The SFP runs in two modes, hardware mode and simulation mode. In hardware mode, the SFP interacts with the chassis itself. The SFP displays chassis information and allow you to set chassis parameters such as temperature thresholds and voltage alarms.
In simulation mode, the SFP simulates chassis operation and does not communicate with the chassis. Simulation mode is useful to learn the capabilities of the SFP and the chassis. In simulation mode, the alarms are not active.
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 > Chassis Family SFP
Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide 2 9
If no chassis has been detected by Connection Expert, the SFP startup dialog appears as shown in the following image. The absence of a chassis listed under
Modules indicates that no chassis has been detected; therefore, the SFP can only be run in simulation mode.
To run in simulation mode, select the Simulation Mode check box in the above image. This displays M9019A in the Modules list. Then click M9019A in the Modules list to select it, which displays M9019A in the Selected Instrument field. Click
Connect to start the SFP in simulation mode.
If a chassis has been detected, M9019A and the address of the chassis is listed under Modules, as shown in the following image.
30
Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide
Click the chassis entry under
Modules to select it, which will display the chassis entry in the Selected Instrument field. Click Connect to start the SFP in hardware mode.
Note that multiple instance of the SFP can be run at one time on the host controller
PC.
Using the SFP to monitor the chassis
This section describes how to use the SFP to monitor the chassis in Hardware
Mode.
To prevent inadvertently changing parameters such as the chassis temperature alarm, the SFP includes an Allow Control check box that is unchecked by default as shown below. The unchecked box prevents any configuration change from being made. In the Keysight PXIe Chassis Family User Guide , which describes how to use the SFP to configure the chassis, this check box will be checked.
The image below shows the Monitor screen of the SFP. This screen has five tabs:
Fan speed
Temperature
Voltage
Reference clock
PCIe link
These tabs display the speed of the three fans, the temperatures reported by the eight backplane temperature sensors, and the four main power supply voltages respectively. This screen also displays the source of the 10 MHz reference clock and the current PCIe link configuration. For more information, see the Keysight
PXIe Chassis Family User Guide .
Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide 3 1
3 2
As you can see, there are Alarm Occurred indicators on the right side of the
Monitor screen. These alarms are enabled by default and operate as described in the following table. If the chassis is operating normally and is using the default alarm thresholds, none of the alarms should be set. For information on configuring these alarms to other than their default thresholds, see the Keysight PXIe Chassis
Family User Guide .
Tab Alarm Description
Fan speed tab
Fan speed alarm
The fan speed alarm is illuminated if the speed of any of the three fans drops below 1200 RPM.
The alarm is latched and will persist even if all fans resume operation above 1200 RPM. The fan speed alarm can be cleared using its Clear button; however, if any of the three fans are still operating below 1200 RPM when the Clear button is clicked, the fan speed alarm will remain illuminated.
Temperature tab
Temperature alarm
The temperature alarm is illuminated if the temperature reported by any of the eight temperature sensors is above 70 °C. The alarm is latched and will persist even if all temperature sensors subsequently report temperatures below 70 °C. The temperature alarm can be cleared using its
Clear button; however, if any of the temperature sensors are still reporting a temperature above 70
°C when the Clear button is clicked, the temperature alarm will remain illuminated.
Voltage tab 3.3V alarm For 3.3V alarm, the factory default limits are plus and minus 10% around the nominal values. Each of the other four voltage alarms has upper and lower voltage limits of 5% about the nominal
5V alarm voltage.
For example, the 12V alarm has an upper voltage limit of 12.6V and a lower voltage limit of 11.4V.
5Vaux alarm
12V alarm
12V alarm
A particular voltage alarm is illuminated if that voltage falls outside of the range specified by the upper and lower voltage limits. The alarm signal is latched and will persist even if the voltage subsequently returns to within the specified range. The voltage alarm can be cleared using the
Clear button; however, if the voltage is still outside of the specified range when the Clear button is clicked, the voltage alarm will remain illuminated.
Reference clock tab
10 MHz reference clock source changed alarm
PCIe Link tab
This alarm is illuminated if the 10 MHz reference clock source changes. The chassis reference clock can originate in three different places:
- Internal: Electronics within the chassis source the clock.
- External: The clock arrives from outside the chassis at the rear panel.
- System Time Slot: The reference clock is sourced by a timing module within the chassis.
The Alarm indicator on this screen indicates whether or not a change in clock source has occurred since the last time the chassis was booted up, or the alarm condition was cleared.
This alarm, like the other alarms, is latched and can be cleared using its Clear button.
The PCIe link configuration can be viewed from the Monitor tab of the SFP. The PCIe link configuration can be viewed from the Monitor tab of the SFP.
Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide
5. STEP 4: Overview of Installing and Verifying Keysight Modules
Installation of Keysight modules should only be performed if you have been able to successfully view the chassis slots with Keysight Connection Expert as
described in the Using Connection Expert to connect to the chassis on page 27
section. Preferably you have also been able to use the PXIe chassis soft front panel with the chassis as well.
This sequencing is important both when powering up the chassis and powering down the chassis.
Installing modules
If you plan to install multiple high power Keysight modules in the chassis, see the
Keysight PXIe Chassis Family User Guide for information on power planning and chassis cooling. Prior to installing your modules, review the installation instructions for the PXIe system module in the
modules installed in the chassis.
Installing the module software
The PXIe chassis drivers that you installed in the Installing the PXIe chassis s oftware on page 21
section are completely separate from your module software. The chassis drivers permit interfacing to chassis functionality such as temperature sensors and fan speeds, while your module software is required to interface to your particular module.
The documentation for your Keysight module will indicate that Keysight IO Library
Suite should be installed. However, only one installation of IO Library Suite is required on the host controller PC. Presuming that you installed IO Libraries Suite
as described in the Installing the Keysight IO Libraries Suite on page 2 1
section, it does not need to be installed again when installing software for Keysight modules.
If you did not install IO Libraries Suite earlier, it must be installed before you install your module-specific software.
After ensuring that IO Libraries Suite is installed, follow the instructions provided with your module to install its software.
3 3 Keysight PXIe Chassis Family Startup Guide
Verifying your module
Follow the instructions provided with your Keysight module to verify its operation.
Module verification typically includes the following steps:
1. Verify that your module is displayed within the chassis in Keysight
documentation.
2. Bring up the soft front panel (SFP) for your module, if available, and verify that the SFP can interface correctly to the module.
