M9514A AXIe Chassis
The Keysight M9514A AXIe 14-slot chassis (one slot for the AXIe System
Module plus 13 instrument module slots) is a modular instrument chassis
fully compatible with the AXIe 1.0 Hardware specifications. It allows
multiple application-specific instrument modules to share a common
chassis frame, power supply, cooling system, PCI Express (PCIe) Gen 2
data bus, Gigabit LAN hub, local bus for module-to-module signaling, and
host PC connections.
Multiple chassis may be interconnected for scalability. The chassis
provides 13 general purpose peripheral slots that accept 1U AXIe
instrument modules. Each module slot has a Gen 2 x4 link (maximum of
2 GB/s data rate per module) to the chassis primary data ‘fabric’ hub—a x8
PCIe switch and data bus.
The chassis requires a full module height AXIe System Module (ASM) such
as the Keysight M9521A, to manage chassis functions.
.
Refer to the Keysight M9514A AXIe Chassis Startup Guide to get detailed
information about the AXIe chassis.
The USB connection is recommended when using a laptop or desktop PC
as an external controller. The PCIe connection is recommended for use
with a desktop PC as an external controller only.
PCIe connectivity between the M9514A AXIe Chassis and an external
desktop PC controller is recommended when full channel plus large
patterns need to be downloaded.
