1 Introduction
The ADLINK PXES-2590 is a 9-slot PXI Express chassis with
advanced features and functions. Compliant with PXI Express and
cPCI Express specifications, the PXES-2590 offers one system
slot, one system timing slot, and seven hybrid peripheral slots for
versatile testing and measurement 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-
2590 is built on a four-link PXI express chassis with up to 8 GB/s
system bandwidth, and 1 GB/s slot bandwidth for all peripheral
slots.
The PXES-2590 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-
2590 can provide 400 W in environments from 0°C to 55°C, and
features an innovative cooling scheme providing superior heat dis-
sipation. Two 185.9CFM fans in the rear section of the chassis
draw cool air from apertures on the bottom and front of the chas-
sis, over the PXI modules, and exhausted to the rear. This innova-
tive 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 synchronization with supple-
mentary devices.
