M9018A PXIe 18-Slot Chassis
Start Guide

Introduction
The 18-slot Keysight M9018A PXIe Chassis has these key features:
- Contains an advanced PCIe switch fabric that operates at PCI Express
Generation 2 (“Gen 2”) speeds.
- Provides a mix of x4 and x8 links to the module slots. At Gen 2 speeds, the x8
links can deliver data to modules at 4 GB/s when connected to an x8-capable
computer. Module-to-module communications are also supported at 4 GB/s
for modules installed in x8 capable slots.
- Supports multiple chassis. There are several possible ways to configure
multiple M9018A PXIe and M9502A 2-Slot and M9505A 5-Slot AXIe chassis
together; all of them controlled by a single host controller. The host controller
can be either a PXIe Embedded Controller (such as the Keysight M9036A) or a
desktop or rack-mounted computer. For detailed multiple PXIe and AXIe
chassis arrangement information, refer to Keysight's Multiple PXIe and AXIe
Chassis Configuration tool. This tool is available on the M9018A Product
information CD as well as on line at:
www.keysight.com/find/pxie-multichassis .
- A system timing module can be installed in the chassis to provide advanced
trigger signals to all slots.
