Alternatively, the fan mode on the PXIe-1088 chassis is selected using a DIP switch on the
backplane. Refer to the
DIP Switches
section for more information about the DIP switch.
Note
The DIP switch must be in the Auto position for software configuration in
MAX to work. If the DIP switch is in the High position, the chassis fan mode will be
High regardless of the software setting.
PXI Express System Configuration with MAX
The PXI Platform Services software included with your chassis automatically identifies your
PXI Express system components to generate a
pxiesys.ini
file. You can configure your
entire PXI system and identify PXI-1 chassis through Measurement & Automation Explorer
(MAX), included with your system controller. PXI Platform Services creates the
pxiesys.ini
and
pxisys.ini
file, which define your PXI system parameters.
Note
The configuration steps for single or multiple-chassis systems are the same.
MAX provides the following chassis information:
•
Asset information, such as serial number or part number
•
Chassis number
•
Voltages, temperatures, and fan speed
•
Fan and cooling settings
•
Slot details
•
Chassis self-test
