Getting Started
Hybrid Peripheral Slots
The chassis provides four hybrid peripheral slots as defined by the
PXI-5 PXI Express Hardware
Specification
: slot 7 and slots 11 to 13. A hybrid peripheral slot can accept the following
peripheral modules:
•
A PXI Express Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express link to the system slot or through a
switch to the system slot.
•
A CompactPCI Express Type-2 Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express link to the system slot
or through a switch to the system slot.
•
A hybrid-compatible PXI Peripheral module that has been modified by replacing the J2
connector with an XJ4 connector installed in the upper eight rows of J2. Refer to the
PXI Express Specification
for details. The PXI Peripheral communicates through the
backplane’s 32-bit PCI bus.
•
A CompactPCI 32-bit peripheral on the backplane’s 32-bit PCI bus.
The hybrid peripheral slots provide full PXI Express functionality and 32-bit PXI functionality except
for PXI Local Bus. The hybrid peripheral slot only connects to PXI Local Bus 6 left and right.
PXI Peripheral Slots
There are nine PXI peripheral slots which will accept PXI or CompactPCI peripherals: slots 2 to
6 and slots 15 to 18. These slots are on the backplane’s 32-bit PCI busses. These slots offer full
PXI functionality, but have no PXI Express features. The 64-bit PCI signals on the P2
connectors are not connected.
PXI Express Peripheral Slots
There are three PXI Express peripheral slots: slots 8 to 10. Slot 8 is directly connected to the
system slot with a x4 PCI Express link. Slots 9 and 10 are connected to the system slot through
a PCI Express switch. PXI Express peripheral slots can accept the following modules:
•
A PXI Express Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express link to the system slot or through a
switch to the system slot.
•
A CompactPCI Express Type-2 Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express link to the system slot
or through a switch to the system slot.
System Timing Slot
The System Timing Slot is slot 14. The system timing slot will accept the following peripheral
modules:
•
A PXI Express System Timing Module with x4 or x1 PCI Express link to the system slot
through a PCIe switch.
•
A PXI Express Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express link to the system slot through a PCIe
switch.
•
A CompactPCI Express Type-2 Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express link to the system slot
through a PCIe switch.
