Keysight M9506A AXIe Chassis Startup Guide
Host PC/Chassis Interface Topics

The example window below shows the Device Manager view of the PCI bus for
an M9506A chassis that contains one recognized PCIe module (the Keysight
module), one unrecognized PCIe module (“PCI Device”), plus the Intel NIC.
This window was displayed by selecting
Devices by connection
under the
Device Manager
View
drop down menu. This information can be useful in
both verifying connection to the chassis (the Intel NIC) and verifying
connection to the modules installed in the chassis.
8
If the chassis is connected only to LAN, the chassis will attempt to obtain an
IP address using DHCP.
9
If both PCIe and LAN are connected to the chassis, the LAN VISA resource
name is used to connect to the chassis.
10
Do not attach a LAN cable after communications has been established over
the PCIe cable. Doing this will disrupt PCIe communications, and will not
provide LAN communications — the chassis will become inaccessible and
rebooting of the PC will be required to restore communications.
If you need both LAN and PCIe communications, connect
both
cables prior to
powering-up the chassis.
