Keysight M9036A Embedded Controller Startup Guide 19
Step 3: Install the M9036A Embedded Controller
- 2-Link Configuration: 1x8 [Limited to PCIe Gen1 speed] — This fabric is
specifically for use in subordinate chassis in multi-chassis configurations. For
details, refer to Keysight's Multiple PXIe and AXIe Chassis Configuration tool.
This tool is available on the M9018A Product information CD as well as on line
at: www.keysight.com/find/pxie-multichassis.
- 2-Link Configuration: 2x8 — Referred to as 2x8, this configuration provides
two x8 links from the system controller slot to the PCIe Switch Fabric. Link 1
can be routed by the PCIe Switch Fabric to slots 2-9, while Link 2 can be
routed to slots 10-18. This fabric provides a pair of x8 links for high data IO
performance.
- 4-Link Configuration: 4x4 — Referred to as 4x4, this configuration provides
four x4 links from the system controller slot to the PCIe Switch Fabric. Link 1
can be routed by the PCIe Switch Fabric to slots 10-14, Link 2 can be routed
to slots 15-18, Link 3 can be routed to slots 2-5, and Link 4 can be routed to
slots 6-9. This fabric is more compatible with other non-Keysight system
modules.
If your system design requires another PCIe link configuration, such as 2x8, use
the chassis Configurator utility to change the PCIe Switch Fabric.
The Configurator utility program is available from the Windows Start button; select
All Programs > Keysight > M9018A. Instructions for using the Configurator program
are provided in the M9018A Chassis User Guide.
Microsoft Windows Activation
Keysight ensures that your copy of Windows 7 or XP is activated at the time it
ships from the factory. However, the first time you install and turn on the
M9036A and the Windows OS starts, you must accept the End User License
Agreement (EULA). For information about Windows EULA, go to
www.microsoft.com.
How to verify Windows Activation
To verify Windows 7 activation, do the following:
1 Open the System by clicking the Windows Start button. Click Control Panel,
then System and Security, and then click System.
2 Scroll down to the bottom of the screen. Under Windows Activation, you can
view the activation status.
For more detailed information, refer to the M9036A User Guide
and the M9018A chassis User Guide.
