Introduction
The Keysight Technologies, Inc. M9018B and M9019A PXIe 18-slot chassis deliver the flexibility, compatibility,
and performance required for demanding applications. With 16 PXIe hybrid slots, they give the system
designer more flexibility to mix and match the number and location of PXIe and hybrid-compatible modules.
Choose between the high-performance PCIe® Gen 2 and ultra-high performance, Gen 3 models to meet your
application's requirements. Both models include the same innovative cooling design which allows the chassis
to fit into 4U of rack space. They are also designed for easy integration into large systems containing multiple
PXIe chassis and other non-PXI instrumentation.
