1 Introduction
The ADLINK PXES-2780 18-slot PXI Express chassis is Com-
pliant with PXI Express and cPCI Express specifications, and
offers one system slot, one system timing slot, six PXIe peripheral
slots, and ten hybrid peripheral slots for versatile testing and mea-
surement applications requiring enhanced bandwidth. The
hybrid-slot design accepts installation of CompactPCI, PXI,
CompactPCI Express, and PXI Express modules into any
peripheral slot, maximizing flexibility. The PXES-2780 provides a
configurable PCIe switch fabric and is configurable in two-link and
four-link PXI express deployments, with 8GB/s system bandwidth
and up to 4GB/s slot bandwidth for dedicated peripheral slots,
thanks to second generation PCIe signaling technology.
The PXES-2780 implements a smart system monitoring controller,
reporting full chassis status, including fan speed, system voltages,
and internal temperature.
Equipped with an industrial grade AC power supply, the
PXES-2780 delivers 800W of power in environments from 0°C to
55°C, and features an innovative cooling scheme providing supe-
rior heat dissipation. Three 185.9CFM fans in the rear section
of the chassis draw cool air from apertures on the bottom and
front of the chassis, over the PXI modules, or exhausted to the
rear. This innovative cooling design provides, not only exceptional
efficiency of heat dissipation, but also superior uniformity for
each PXI slot. BNC connectors for 10 MHz clock input/output
on the rear panel increase chassis flexibility, enabling synchroni-
zation with supplementary devices.
