AXIe Chassis and Modules
Introduction
The Keysight M9502A (2-slot) and M9505A (5-slot) AXIe chassis are modular
instrument chassis fully compatible with the AXIe 1.0 specification. They allow
multiple application-specific instrument modules to share a common chassis frame,
power supply, cooling system, PCI Express (PCIe) Gen 2 data bus, Gigabit LAN hub,
local bus for module-to-module signaling, and host PC connections. Multiple chassis
may be interconnected for scalability, a feature Keysight calls MultiFrame. The full
rack chassis provides two or five general purpose peripheral slots that accept 1U AXIe
instrument modules. Each module slot has a Gen 2 x4 link (maximum of 2 GB/s data
rate per module) to the chassis primary data ‘fabric’ hub—a x8 PCIe switch and data
bus.
