ADLINK PXIS-2719A - Manual (Page 22)

12 Introduction
meet the requirements of the CompactPCI 64-bit specification will
function in the PXIS-2719A.
1.5.2 System Controller Slot
The System Controller slot is Slot 1 as defined by the PXI specifi-
cation. The PXIS-2719A chassis can accommodate a PXI system
controller occupying up to 3 slots. As defined in the PXI specifica-
tion, two controller expansion slots allow the controller to expand
to the left to avoid occupying peripheral slots.
1.5.3 Star Trigger Slot
The Star Trigger (ST) slot is Slot 2. This slot has dedicated trigger
lines between ST slot itself and slots 3-15. The star trigger func-
tionality provides a precise trigger signal to the peripheral modules
by installing a specific star trigger controller module in the ST slot.
The star trigger slot can be also used as a general peripheral slot if
star trigger functionality is not required.
1.5.4 Peripheral Slots
The PXIS-2719A provides 18 peripheral slots (including the Star
Trigger controller slot). Each peripheral slot can accommodate a
3U PXI/CompactPCI peripheral module.
NOTE: NOTE:
CompactPCI peripheral modules which operate with rear I/O
modules can NOT be installed in the PXIS-2719A, due to pos-
sible conflict between rear I/O signals and PXI-specific signals
on J2.
CAUTION:
DO NOT install a 3U CompactPCI module with rear I/O func-
tion in the PXIS-2719A chassis.System damage may result.
