Using the PXI-3950 with a PXI-2558T-B or PXIS-
2690P-B Chassis
This section describes the usage of PXI-3950 controllers in PXI-
2558T-B and PXIS-2690P-B chassis. These chassis are unique in
that they support a built-in LCD display and warrant special BIOS
configurations to properly operate the system controller.
The PXI-3950 controller supports a rear I/O option. The rear I/O
option is designed to operate with a matching rear transition mod-
ule which provides internal chassis I/O, including video signals,
USB signals, etc. The ADLINK PXI-2558T-B is a 3U 8-slot PXI
chassis with built-in 8.4" LCD touch panel, while the PXIS-2690P-
B is a 3U 14-slot portable PXI chassis with built-in 15” LCD touch
panel. Both of them contain a matching rear transition module for
PXI-3950 to support internal signal transmission.
While installing PXI-3950 in the PXIS-2558T-B or the PXIS-
2690P-B chassis, please make sure you have correct BIOS set-
ting to turn on the LCD touch panel by the following steps.
1. Press DEL while booting to enter the BIOS setting
screen.
2. Use left and right arrow to enter “Chipset”.
3. Set the “Boot Display Device” option as “CRT+LVDS”.
4. Set the “Flat Panel Type” as following:
Z
For PXIS-2558T-B, select “800x600 18Bit”
Z
For PXIS-2690P-B, select “1024x768 24Bit”
5. Save your setting and exit the BIOS.
NOTE:
NOTE:
Currently PXIS-2558T-B and PXIS-2690P-B are the only
PXI chassis with a built-in LCD touch panel which sup-
ports PXI-3950 controllers. Please DO NOT install PXI-
3950 controllers in other chassis with built-in LCD panel,
such as PXIS-2556T, PXIS-2650T, PXIS-2680P, or
PXIS-2690P.
