Chapter 1 Getting Started PXI-1056 Backplane Overview Interoperability with CompactPCI The PXI-1056 backplane is interoperable with 5 V and universal PXI-compatible products and standard CompactPCI products. This is an important feature, because some PXI systems may require components that do not implement PXI-specific features. For example, you may want to use a standard CompactPCI network interface card in a PXI chassis.
Chapter 1 Getting Started The star trigger slot can also be used to provide a PXI_CLK10 signal to the backplane. For more information regarding PXI_CLK10, refer to the System Reference Clock section. Peripheral Slots There are 17 3U-sized peripheral slots including the star trigger slot. Three of these slots can only be used for 3U modules. The chassis has a number of peripheral slots that can also be used in a 6U configuration.

Chapter 1 Getting Started Trigger Bus All slots on each PXI bus segment share eight PXI trigger lines. You can use these trigger lines in a variety of ways. For example, you can use triggers to synchronize the operation of several different PXI peripheral modules. In other applications, one module located in slot 2 can control carefully timed sequences of operations performed on other modules in the system.
Installation and Configuration 2 This chapter describes how to install, configure, and use the PXI-1056 chassis. Before connecting the chassis to a power source, read this chapter and the Read Me First: Safety and Radio-Frequency Interference document included with your chassis. Safety Information Before undertaking any troubleshooting, maintenance, or exploratory procedure, carefully read the following caution notices.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration personnel operating the chassis. Furthermore, damage or fire may occur if replacement parts are unsuitable. • Modification—Do not modify any part of the chassis from its original condition. Unsuitable modifications may result in safety hazards. Chassis Cooling Considerations The PXI-1056 is designed to operate on a bench or in an instrument rack. Determine how you want to use the PXI-1056 and follow the appropriate installation instructions.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration 1 2 1 Air Outlets (Side of Chassis) 2 Air Intake (Back of Chassis) Figure 2-1. PXI-1056 Chassis Airflow Side View Install the chassis so that you can easily access the rear panel. This simplifies replacing the air filter or power supply shuttle, if necessary. Setting Fan Speed The fan-speed selector switch is on the rear panel of the PXI-1056. Refer to Figure 1-2, Rear View of the PXI-1056 Chassis, to locate the fan-speed selector switch.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Rack Mounting Rack-mount applications may require the optional rear rack mount kit available from National Instruments. Refer to Figure A-3, PXI-1056 Rack Mount Components, and the instructions supplied with the rack mount kits to install your PXI-1056 in an instrument rack. You may want to remove the feet from the PXI-1056 when rack mounting. To do so, remove the screws holding the feet in place.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration The power switch allows you to power on the chassis or place it in standby mode. Push the power switch to the On (Left) position (if not already on). Observe that the fan becomes operational and the power switch LED is a steady green. Installing a PXI Controller This section contains general instructions for installing a PXI controller in the PXI-1056 chassis. Refer to your PXI controller user manual for specific instructions and cautions.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Figure 2-2. Injector/Ejector Handle Position during Controller or Peripheral Module Insertion 3. When you begin to feel resistance, push up on the injector/ejector handle to inject the controller fully into the chassis frame. Secure the controller front panel to the chassis using the controller front-panel mounting screws. 4. Connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the appropriate connectors.

Installing PXI or CompactPCI Modules Power Switch LED Indicator The chassis power switch has an integrated LED. This LED indicates the chassis is powered on and operating normally.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration There are six dual-color LED indicators on the front panel of the chassis. Four of the LEDs indicate the status of voltage supply regulation (+3.3 V, 5 V, +12 V, –12 V). The FAN LED indicates the operational status of the fan. The TEMP LED indicates whether the chassis is maintaining a proper operating temperature, or whether there is an over-temperature condition. The operating temperature of the chassis should not exceed 60 °C.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Serial Communication Command Set Voltage, temperature, and fan speed statuses may be read using the following defined command set. Any monitored parameter having a trip point to indicate a fail status will also generate an autonomous status message to indicate the fault condition. Terminal Settings The communication terminal must be set to the following settings.

Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Figure 2-5. Multichassis Configuration in MAX Basic PXI System Configuration 1. Launch MAX. 2. In the Configuration tree, click on the Devices and Interfaces branch to expand it. 3. If the PXI system controller has not yet been configured, it will be labeled “PXI System (Unidentified).” Right-click on this entry to display the popup menu, then select the appropriate controller model from the Identify As submenu. 4.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration 5. Apply the chassis number labels (shown in Figure 2-6) included with your kit to each chassis in your PXI system, and write in the chassis number accordingly in the white space. Figure 2-6. Chassis Number Label Trigger Configuration in MAX Each chassis has one or more trigger buses, each with eight lines numbered 0 through 7 that can be reserved and routed statically or dynamically.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Note Selecting any non-disabled routing automatically reserves the line in all trigger buses being routed to. If you are using NI-DAQmx, it will reserve and route trigger lines for you, so you won’t have to route trigger lines manually. Complete the following steps to configure trigger routings in MAX. 1. In the Configuration tree, select the chassis in which you want to route trigger lines. 2.
3 Maintenance This chapter describes basic maintenance procedures you can perform on the PXI-1056 chassis. Caution Disconnect the power cable prior to servicing the PXI-1056 chassis. Service Interval Clean the chassis fan filter at a maximum interval of six months. Depending on the amount of use and ambient dust levels in the operating environment, the filter may require more frequent cleaning. Clean dust from the chassis exterior (and interior) as needed, based on the operating environment.
Chapter 3 Maintenance Interior Cleaning Use a dry, low-velocity stream of air to clean the interior of the chassis. Use a soft-bristle brush for cleaning around components. Exterior Cleaning Cautions Avoid getting moisture inside the chassis during exterior cleaning, especially through the top vents. Use just enough moisture to dampen the cloth. Do not wash the front- or rear-panel connectors or switches. Cover these components while cleaning the chassis.
Chapter 3 Maintenance Resetting the AC Mains Circuit Breaker If the PXI-1056 is connected to an AC source and encounters an over-current condition, the circuit breaker on the rear panel will trip to prevent damage to the chassis. Complete the following steps to reset the circuit breaker. 1. Set the front-panel power switch to the Off position. 2. Disconnect the AC power cable. 3. Depress the circuit breaker to reset it. 4. Reconnect the AC power cable. 5. Set the power switch to the On position.
Chapter 3 Maintenance Removal The PXI-1056 power-supply shuttle is a replacement part for the PXI-1056 chassis. Before attempting to replace the power-supply shuttle, verify that there is adequate clearance behind the chassis. Set the power switch on the front panel to the Off position. Disconnect the power cable and any other cables from the power-supply shuttle on the rear of the chassis. Identify the 4 screws that attach the power-supply shuttle back cover to the chassis.
