Getting Started
DC Power Cable (PXI-1036DC Only)
An optional DC power cable is available from National Instruments to provide power through
the DC input connector on the rear panel of the chassis.
The DC power cable uses an F30A 500 VDC/600 VAC, 1.5 in.
.41 in. (10 mm
38 mm)
Midget fast-acting fuse on the positive (+) wire of the cable. For more information on fuses used,
including recommendations for custom cabling, refer to the
section of Chapter 3,
PXI-1036/PXI-1036DC Backplane Overview
Interoperability with CompactPCI
The PXI-1036/PXI-1036DC backplane is interoperable with 5 V and universal PXI-compatible
products and standard CompactPCI products. This is an important feature, because some PXI
systems may require components that do not implement PXI-specific features. For example,
you may want to use a standard CompactPCI network interface card in a PXI chassis.
The signals on the backplane P1 connectors meet the requirements of the CompactPCI
specification for both peripheral and system modules. Refer to Appendix A,
, for pinout
information.
The PXI-specific signals are on the backplane P2 connectors and are found only on those signal
lines reserved or not used in the CompactPCI 64-bit specification. Therefore, all modules that
meet the requirements of the CompactPCI 64-bit specification will function in the
PXI-1036/PXI-1036DC. Refer to Appendix A,
, for pinout information.
Note
The PXI-1036/PXI-1036DC backplane is 32-bit PCI. 64-bit CompactPCI
cards will operate in 32-bit mode in this chassis.
The chassis backplane has +5 V V(I/O). Refer to the
CompactPCI Specification PICMG 2.0 R
3.0
for details regarding V(I/O).
System Controller Slot
The system controller slot is slot 1 of the chassis as defined by the PXI specification. It has one
controller expansion slot for system controller modules that are wider than one slot. As defined
in the PXI specification, these slots allow the controller to expand to the left to prevent the
controller from using peripheral slots.
