Step 3: Install the M9035A Embedded Controller
The Keysight M9035A has been designed for easy installation. However, the
following standard precautions, installation procedures, and general information
must be observed to ensure proper installation and to prevent damage to the
board, other system components, or injury to personnel.
Keysight’s M9035A can operate with all of the PCIe fabric configurations found
on a Keysight PXIe chassis as well as the standard 4x4 fabric used on
non-Keysight PXIe chassis.
The following safety precautions must be observed when installing or
operating the Keysight M9035A. Exercise care when handling the module
as the heat sink can get very hot. Do not touch the heat sink when
installing or removing the module. The board should not be placed on any
surface or in any form of storage container until the board and heat sink
have cooled to room temperature.
Embedded controllers, such as the M9035A, can only be installed
in System Controller slot (Slot 1) of the chassis.
M9018 PXIe Chassis Backplane Switch:
The default position of the chassis backplane switch is to the left.
However, if a Keysight M9021A Cable Interface module was
previously installed in the M9018 chassis, then the backplane
switch was moved to the right. To use the M9035A Embedded
Controller in the M9018 chassis, the slide switch should be in the
left position before installing the controller. Refer to the M9018
chassis documentation for more information.
Ensure the M9018A/B
backplane switch is
in the left position
