Controlling Multiple Chassis with the M9037A
Keysight’s M9037A controller can manage the instruments in multiple PXIe or
AXIe chassis. The Keysight Multi-Chassis Designer
www.keysight.com/find/pxie-multichassis) is an interactive tool to help you
design multi-chassis systems. The following is a summary of information
presented by Designer.
Figure 10 shows a basic multiple-chassis configuration. The required
components for this basic configuration include:
– One Master PXIe chassis
– One subordinate chassis -- either a PXIe chassis (such as the M9010A,
M9018B, or M9019 chassis) or an AXIe chassis (such as the Keysight
M9502A or M9505A AXIe chassis).
– Only Microsoft Windows 64-bit Operating Systems is supported (32-bit OS
for multiple chassis is not supported).
– One M902xA PCI Cable Interface is required in a subordinate PXIe chassis.
– One Y1200B PCIe cable.
Multiple Chassis Configurations
– To support multiple chassis (up to four chassis are supported), the
following restrictions apply:
– Connecting more than one subordinate chassis -- via M902xA Cable
Interface modules installed in the Master or subordinate chassis -- is not
supported.
– Use the latest version of Keysight IO Libraries Suite.
– You must turn on the subordinate chassis and wait for the chassis status
light to turn solid green before turning on the Master chassis with the
M9037A controller.
– The M9037A should have the latest BIOS version. See ““BIOS Main Setup
Menu” on page 57 to determine the current BIOS version in your M9037A
and guidelines to update the BIOS if necessary.
– Only a 64-bit OS is supported. 8 GB (or more) of memory should be
installed in the M9037A.
