M8040A Module Setup
The M8040A 64Gbaud BERT is based on individual modules that are
controlled by the M8070A software. The modules must be hosted in the
5-slot AXI chassis as described below:
• The M8045A module occupies three slots of the 5-slot M9505A AXIe
chassis. It must be installed in slots 1 through 3 in the AXIe chassis
unless the M9537A AXIe Embedded Controller is installed. The M9537A
AXIe Embedded Controller must be installed in slot 1.
• The M8046A module occupies a single slot of the 5-slot M9505A AXIe
chassis.
• The M8057A remote head is an external box which must be connected
to each channel of M8045A module. Three cables are fixed on the back
side of M8057A which need to be connected to M8045A remote head, P
and N connectors.
The following figure shows a typical setup of M8045A, M8046A and
