Installing KPXI-CON-PXIREM
Follow these steps to install KPXI-CON-PXIREM in your PXI or CompactPCI chassis.
Step 1:
Turn off your PXI/CompactPCI system, leave it plugged in while installing
KPXI-CON-PXIREM. The power code grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical
damage while you install this module.
Step 2:
Select a slot for KPXI-CON-PXIREM:
Step 3:
For use in secondary PXI bus – Must choose the system slot (slot 1) of your chassis.
Step 4:
For use in primary PXI bus – Choose any unused PXI peripheral slot except slot 1 (Slot 1
is reserved for the system controller.)
Step 5:
Remove any covers blocking access to the slot in which you intend to install
KPXI-CON-PXIREM.
Step 6:
Make sure the injector/ejector handle is in its downward position.
Step 7:
Hold the handle as you slide the module into the chassis until the handle catches on the
injector/ejector rail.
Step 8:
Raise the injector/ejector handle until the module firmly seats into the backplane
receptacle connectors. The front panel of KPXI-CON-PXIREM should be even with the
front panel of chassis.
Step 9:
Tighten the bracket-retaining screws.
Configuration and cabling
Because KPXI-CON-PCIREM/KPXI-CON-PXIREM extension modules function as a standard
PCI-to-PCI bridge, it can take advantage of a variety of extension configurations.
show the most basic PCI extension configuration. Each primary extension module can
connect to two secondary extension modules at most in order to extend two PCI segments.
show the Star and Daisy-chain configurations to extend more than two
PXI chassis.
Each extension module (KPXI-CON-PCIREM or KPXI-CON-PXIREM) has two link ports (Link 0
and Link 1), and each link is divided into transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx). Please follow these steps
to link the primary and secondary extension modules:
Connect the cables to both primary and secondary extension modules. Two cables are needed
while linking the primary and secondary modules. One cable is used for connecting transmit (Tx –
black if Keithley Instruments cables are used) of primary module with receive (Rx) of secondary
module. The other is used for connecting receive (Rx – red if Keithley Instruments cables are
used) of primary module with transmit (Tx) of secondary module. Please refer to
for the connection. Turn on the system with the secondary extension
module first.
When configuration and cabling is complete, turn on the system with the primary extension
module.
