Keysight M9036A PXIe Embedded Controller User Guide 5
M9036A Functional Description Introduction
CPU, Memory and Chipset
By introducing Intel dual core technology, the M9036A has two computing
engines on a single processor, which can execute two independent tasks at the
same time in a multi-tasking environment. Combining this superior performance
with a variety of instrument platforms makes the M9036A an ideal solution for
your hybrid PXIe-based testing system.
The M9036A is also specifically designed to deliver excellent durability and
reliability. A large aluminum heat sink dissipates heat generated by CPU and
other critical components uniformly to maintain a stable operating temperature.

Peripherals
CMOS Backup Battery
Keysight’s M9036A is equipped with a 3.0 V “coin cell” lithium battery. This
battery powers the clock circuit and retains configuration memory is CMOS RAM
while the system is turned off. For instructions on replacing the battery, refer to
“CMOS Battery Backup” on page 57.
Reset Button
The front panel reset button is used to perform a hard reset for the M9036A. You
can use a pin-like object to push the reset button.
