Keysight/Agilent M9502A AXIe 2-Slot Chassis
The M9502A from Keysight (formerly from Agilent) is an AXIe 2-Slot Rack Mount Chassis that supports the operation of AXIe modules in a 2U enclosure that contains two horizontal instrument slots. There are no instrument slots used by the embedded system module, which resides on the same PCB as the chassis backplane. The embedded system module connects via Gen 2 PCI Express (x8) to a user-supplied external controller providing up to 4 Gbps bandwidth, as well as a Gigabit LAN connection for remote control and communication. In addition, the fans and the power supplies are designed to be easily replaceable while still allowing the chassis to function when mounted in a rack.
M9502A has been designed for use in high-performance applications, including aerospace and defense, communications, semiconductor manufacturing and inspection, computing, and high-energy physics. Each instrument slot is cooled at a rate of 200 W; therefore, no additional vertical clearance in a rack is required for high-power modules. The backplane uses 62 differential local buses to provide connections from one slot to another, thereby facilitating large-scale parallel data transfer that exceeds what was specified in AXIe version 1.0. As a result of its 2-slot design, engineers prefer the M9502A for portable test systems because it offers sufficient performance but is also compact enough for mobile environments; however, it will fit into standard racks if needed. One unique capability of this product is the ability to synchronize multiple chassis so they may work together as part of a larger coherent test setup.
The M9502A AXIe backplane provides Gen 2 PCI Express (x4) links to each of the two instrument slots at a maximum data bandwidth of 2 Gbps per slot. It also includes a second PCI Express fabric and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces to each of the two instrument slots. The timing and triggering capabilities of the M9502A include a 100 MHz clock signal, a PCIe clock signal, point-to-point star trigger signals, and a 12-line parallel trigger bus. The Embedded System Module (ESM) provides intelligent platform management of all aspects of the chassis’ status such as fan speed control, module power sequencing, and overall chassis health monitoring. Additionally, the ESM can manage internal or external reference clocks. The combination of high power delivery to instruments, high-density signalling, and serviceable cooling makes the M9502A an ideal space-efficient AXIe solution that works well in conjunction with existing PXI solutions.
