PXI-1020 and PXI-1025 Chassis Support
The PXI-8170 Series controller is designed to interface directly to
PXI-1020 and PXI-1025 chassis. This interface contains the signals
required to control a TFT LCD, an IDE device (slave), a PS/2 keyboard,
and a PS/2 mouse.
Because the keyboard/mouse controller on the PXI-8170 Series supports
only one keyboard and one mouse at a time, the controller has two switches
you can use to control whether to enable either the keyboard and mouse
ports on the front panel of the PXI-8170 or the built-in chassis devices.
Refer to the
Keyboard and Mouse section in Appendix A, Configuring the
PXI-8170 Series , for switch settings.
PXI-1020 Chassis
The PXI-1020 chassis currently does not contain a built-in keyboard.
When using the PXI-8170 Series controller with the PXI-1020 chassis, the
LCD may be dimmed through software. The software is located on your
hard drive in the
C:\Images\PXI8170\LCD directory. Also, with this
chassis you can select whether the LCD is enabled while booting or off
until the operating system loads and software turns it on. Refer to
Chapter 3,
PXI-8170 Series Installation , for the jumper settings and
Chapter 4, BIOS , for LCD BIOS settings.
