Summary

Introduction

Understand the system hardware connections

Host Controllers

Computer that controls the chassis, can be remote or embedded.

Remote Controller and System Interface Module

A desktop or rack mounted PC connecting to the chassis.

Embedded Controller

Chassis Backplane

PXIe Chassis Backplane and Supported Module Types

Details backplane slots and module compatibility for PXIe systems.

AXle Chassis Backplane and Module Layouts

Describes connector layout and compatibility for AXle chassis.

Understand the Software Components

Required Keysight IO Libraries Suite

Libraries and utilities to connect chassis and run programs.

Required System Firmware and Software Drivers

Firmware and drivers for chassis and modules for troubleshooting.

Chassis Firmware

Controls chassis lower-level hardware components.

Chassis Software Driver

Lets host controller OS communicate and control the chassis.

Module Firmware

Controls module's lower-level hardware components.

Module Software Drivers

Drivers for PXI/AXle instrument modules for host controller.

Guidelines to Diagnose and Resolve Communication Problems

Avoid Bent Pins

Warning about bent pins in backplane connectors and their impact.

Use Supported Host Controllers

Check compatibility document for supported host controllers.

Setup Applications with Recommended and Supported Configurations

Refer to data sheets and tools for supported configurations.

Power-up the Chassis First

Always power up chassis before booting the PC.

Do Not Hot Plug or Unplug

Avoid hot plugging/unplugging; power cycle the system.

Ensure LEDs are Lit Correctly on System Module

Verify status LEDs on system modules are lit correctly.

Lower Transfer Rate Settings to Ensure Reliability

Lower PCIe speed to Gen1 for reliability or debugging.

Make Sure All Required Software Drivers are Installed

Verify all hardware components have drivers installed in Device Manager.

System Module Driver Needs to be Installed in PC Configuration

System module driver must be installed for chassis communication.

Install Controller Driver in Embedded Controller Configuration

Reinstall embedded controller driver if OS is re-imaged.

Use Updated Keysight IO Libraries Suite

Update IO libraries to ensure compatibility with products.

Use Updated Firmware and Software Drivers

Use latest firmware and drivers for compatibility and functionality.

Avoid Overheating the Chassis

Actively manage chassis environment to prevent overheating.

Use Laptops with 11 th Gen or Newer CPU for Thunderbolt Solutions

Recommend laptops with newer CPUs for Thunderbolt memory requests.

Flattening Portal Bridge (FPB) Workaround

Workaround to disable FPB feature for PCIe enumeration issues.
