Installation
This outlines the contents of package, describes unpacking information, and describes how to
install the software and hardware.
Contents of package
The package includes the following items:
• KPXI-CON-PXIREM or KPXI-CON-PCIREM extension module
• Keithley Instruments CD
If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact your local Keithley Instruments
representative. Save the shipping materials and carton in to ship or store the product in the future.
Unpacking
The extension module contains electro-static sensitive components that can be easily be damaged
by static electricity.
Therefore, the module should be handled on a grounded anti-static mat. The operator should be
wearing an anti-static wristband, grounded at the same point as the anti-static mat.
Inspect the module for obvious damage. Shipping and handling may cause damage to the module.
Be sure there is no shipping and handling damage on the module before continuing.
You are now ready to install the extension module.
WARNING
Do not apply power to the card if it has been damaged.
Getting started
To set up and use the PCI bus extension module, you need the following:
• A KPXI-CON-PCIREM module and a KPXI-CON-PXIREM module or two
KPXI-CON-PXIREM modules
• Two RJ-45 Copper cables (Keithley Instruments provides three different lengths of shielded
copper cable to eliminate the EMI issues: KPXI-REM-CAB-2, KPXI-REM-CAB-5, and
KPXI-REM-CAB-10). These cables have color coded ends for this application. During
hardware installation
both BLACK connectors should be connected to the transmit
(Tx) ports on the card pair while both RED connectors should be connected to the
receive (Rx) ports . Please contact your local Keithley Instruments representative for more
information.
NOTE Connection of the two RJ-45 Copper cables may be counter intuitive. Both BLACK
connectors go on the transmit lines because BLACK is not wired to BLACK.
• Primary bus – A computer with a PCI backplane, or a PXI controller embedded in a PXI/
CompactPCI chassis
• Secondary bus – A PXI/CompactPCI chassis
