Key Chassis Features
The Keysight family of PXIe chassis is designed for easy integration into large
systems containing multiple PXIe chassis and other, non-PXI instrumentation.
The Keysight PXIe chassis have these key features:
– Up to 16 PXIe hybrid slots (the M9010A has 8 hybrid slots), 1 PXIe timing
slot, and 1 PXIe system slot.
– 4U chassis with innovative cooling design.
– Ultra high performance PCIe interface
-- The M9010A has Gen 3 PCIe with a two-link (x8, x16) system slot and x8
links to the hybrid/timing slots.
-- The M918B provides configurable 2-Link (2x8) and 4-Link (4x4) plus
M9021A configuration (1x8).
-- The M9019A provides Gen 3 PCIe with a two-link (x8, x16) system slot
and x8 links to the hybrid/timing slots.
– High data bandwidth (maximum 24 GB/s system and 8 GB/s slot-to-slot).
– Multi-chassis power-sequencing using rear panel RJ-45 connectors.
– Front panel external trigger input/output ports.
– One common driver supports IVI-C and IVI.NET for all three chassis (and
the M9018A PXIe chassis).
Figure 1 shows a front view of the M9019A chassis. The M9018B chassis is
similar; the M9010A chassis is similar but has ten slots.
