Introduction
ADLINK PXIS-2700 is an 18-slot PXI/CompactPCI chassis providing 17 
PXI peripheral expansion slots and one system slot with two PXI-to-PXI 
bridges. The chassis incorporates all features defined by the PXI and 
CompactPCI specifications. Both PXI and CompactPCI modules can be 
used in the chassis. An internal 10MHz reference clock is available on all 
17 PXI slots. The PXI trigger bus is divided into three segments. The star 
trigger signals are available from 3rd to 15th slots. 
The PXIS-2700 is equipped with 460W + 460W redundant power units to 
provide reliable and easy to maintain power to the system. The status of 
system power supply, temperature, and cooling fans are monitored by the 
alarm module assembled in the chassis. Once a failure is detected, a LED 
and buzzer will be actuated. The failure fans can be removed from the 
front panel and hot swappable, which can effectively reduce MTTR 
(Mean-Time-To-Repair). 
The PXI-3710 (3-slot version, without floppy disk drive) and PXI-3710F (4-
slot version, with floppy disk drive) are designed to fit in the PXIS-2700 
chassis. With all the powerful and convenient design, the PXIS-2700 is 
ideal for high performance applications and a large number of I/O 
modules.
