2 After powering up the chassis, wait until the Status LED of the ESM is
solid green. This ensures that the PCIe channel in the chassis is ready
for the successful connectivity of the chassis to the host computer.
3 Wait until the Access LED(s) of the module(s) in the chassis is/are solid
green.
4 Power up the host computer. By this time, the Status LED of the ESM
in the chassis and the Access LED(s) of the module(s) should have
been steady green indicating a power ready status of the setup.
The step to power up the host computer is not required if you are using
the M9537A AXIe Embedded Controller module as the host computer
because it gets powered on simultaneously with the chassis through
the chassis backplane.
NOTE
Enable the Ref Clk Out port in the primary chassis using the web
interface. For details , refer to
Keysight M9505A AXIe Chassis Startup
Guide
.
NOTE
The unused output should be turned off or terminated with 50 Ohms.
