Recommended Configuration
Multi-chassis configuration
Configure the Keysight M9018B and M9019A PXIe chassis as
follows:
The M9018B and M9019A can be used in multi-chassis con-
figurations with other PXIe chassis (including the M9010A PXIe
10-slot chassis) and AXIe Chassis (such M9502A/M9505A). In
general, up to four chassis can be connected together depending
on the controller and operating system used. Many different
topologies are possible including cascade and star. Two examples
are shown below:
– Select a PXIe system module or embedded controller (the
Keysight M9022A/M9023A and M9037A are recommended)
– If an external computer is being used, select an appropriate
PC interface card (the Keysight M9048B/M9049A are
recommended)
– Select an appropriate cable to connect the computer
interface board to the chassis interface (the Y1202A is
recommended to connect the M9048B and M9022A)
– Select accessories as required
For more detailed configuration information, see Interface
Modules and Adapters for PXIe and AXIe Systems, literature
number 5992-0377EN.
