1 Introduction
The ADLINK PXIS-2719 is a 3U PXI chassis with abundant
advanced features. The PXIS-2719 is compliant with PXI and
CompactPCI specifications and provides one system slot and
eighteen peripheral slots. It is designed to meet or exceed the
requirements of large capacity, wide operating temperature range,
uniformity of heat dissipation and exceptional chassis weight and
robustness.
The PXIS-2719 also offers an intelligent chassis control feature to
manage the chassis status. Fan speed is automatically controlled
according to inner temperature of chassis. DC voltages, fan
speed, and inner temperature are monitored by the intelligent con-
trol board and can be exported to a remote computer via a stan-
dard RS-232 port.
ADLINK PXIS-2719 features an innovative cooling mechanism to
provide superior heat dissipation capability. Four 68CFM fans are
placed in the rear section of the chassis. Cool air is pulled in from
the apertures on the bottom, flowed through PXI modules, and is
exhausted to the rear side. With this new cooling mechanism, not
only exceptional efficiency of heat dissipation, but also great uni-
formity for each PXI slot is delivered by the PXIS-2719 chassis.
