Controller Operating System
Controller Operating System
Your M9038A comes with the Microsoft Windows operating system pre-installed
along with the latest version of Keysight's IO Libraries Suite. This section provides
some general system configuration and preventative maintenance procedures
that you, the customer, are responsible for. In general, the M9038A operates as
any other PC, including remote desktop access.
The Windows operating system supplied with your M9038A is licensed for use on
the hard drive mounted to the controller. If the hard drive is replaced, it may be
your responsibility to purchase or relicense the operating system.
M9018B PXIe Chassis PCIe Link Configuration
This discussion is applicable when using the M9038A in an M9018B PXIe
Chassis. It does not apply for use with any other Keysight PXIe chassis, because
they have a fixed configuration of 1x8 and 1x16 for their PCIe Link fabric.
PCIe link configuration
refers to how the PXIe chassis PCIe Switch Fabric is
configured to connect PCI Express signals between slot 1, the system controller
slot, and the other chassis slots. For a review of the supported PCIe link
configurations, please refer to the
PXIe Chassis User Guide
(available from the
Windows
Start
button, then look under Keysight).
For a detailed graphics, explaining the operation of the chassis PCIe data paths,
see the

Keysight’s M9038A embedded controller can boot and run with all of the PCIe
switch fabric configurations supported by the M9018 chassis. The supported
switch fabric configurations are:
- 1x8 Configuration
— Referred to as 1x8, this configuration provides one x8 link
from the M9038A embedded controller to the PCIe switch fabric. While the
1x8 configuration will work with the M9038A, it is better suited for use with
the M9021A system module which supports 8 PCIe lanes.
- 2x8 Configuration -
Referred to as 2x8, this configuration provides two x8 links
from the M9038A embedded controller to the PCIe switch fabric. The two x8
links provide the highest performance I/O to the 18 chassis slots; therefore,
the 2x8 configuration is recommended for use with the M9038A.
The default Administrator password is
