Step 4: Connect the PC to the PXI Chassis
Using a remote PC
Refer to the following figure. Make certain that both the PC and the PXI chassis
are turned off. If you are using the M9018A 18 Slot PXIe chassis, install the
Keysight M9021 System Interface Module in the chassis.
– If you are using a desktop or rackmount PC, install the M9047 PCIe Desktop
Adapter in the PC. With an Keysight Y1202 cable, connect the adapter to the
System Interface module.
– If you are using a laptop PC then install the M9045 PCIe ExpressCard Adapter
in the laptop PC. With an Keysight Y1200 cable, connect the adapter to the
System Interface module or the embedded computer on the PXI chassis.
To ensure proper operation and the PC’s ability to enumerate all of the PXI
modules, you must use an approved embedded PC, desktop PC, or laptop PC
along with approved PCIe adapter and cable.
