The Inhibit Mode switch should be in the Default position when normal power inhibit switch
functionality is desired. If the user needs to power on a chassis without a system controller
installed the switch should be in the Manual position.
When the Inhibit Mode switch is set to the Manual position, the power supplies are enabled,
and you can use the Inhibit signal (active low) on pin 1 of the Remote Inhibit and Fault
connector to power off the chassis. To power off the chassis remotely, connect the Inhibit pin
(pin 1) to a Logic Ground pin (pin 2). As long as this connection exists, the chassis will remain
off (standby); when you remove this connection, the chassis turns on.
Note
For the Remote Inhibit signal to control the On/Off (standby) state of the
chassis, the Inhibit Mode switch must be in the Manual position.
PXI_CLK10 Front Panel Connectors
There are two SMA connectors on the front of the PXIe-1086DC chassis for PXI_CLK10. The
connectors are labeled IN and OUT. You can use them for supplying the backplane with
PXI_CLK10 or routing the backplane’s PXI_CLK10 to another chassis. Refer to the
section for details about these signals.
PXI Express System Configuration with MAX
The PXI Platform Services software included with your chassis automatically identifies your
PXI Express system components to generate a
pxiesys.ini
file. You can configure your
entire PXI system and identify your chassis through Measurement & Automation Explorer
(MAX), included with your system controller. PXI Platform Services creates the
pxiesys.ini
and
pxisys.ini
file, which define your PXI system parameters.
MAX provides the following chassis information:
•
Asset information, such as serial number or part number
•
Chassis number
•
Voltages, temperatures, and fan speeds
•
Ethernet monitoring port configuration
•
Slot details
•
Chassis self-test
•
Firmware Update
