PXI-1000 Backplane Overview
Interoperability with CompactPCI
The PXI-1000 backplane is interoperable with PXI-compatible products
and standard CompactPCI products. This is an important feature, as many
PXI-compatible systems may not 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.
The signals on the P1 connector of the backplane meet the requirements of
the CompactPCI specification for both the peripheral and system modules.
specification. Therefore, all modules that meet the requirements of the
CompactPCI 64-bit specification will function in the PXI-1000.
Figures 1-1 and 1-2 show some of the key features and components of the
PXI-1000 mainframe. Figure 1-1 shows the front view of the PXI-1000 and

System Controller Slot
The System Controller slot is located in Slot 1 of the chassis as defined by
the PXI specification. It has three controller expansion slots, which are
used for system controller modules that are wider than one slot. As defined
in the PXI specification, these slots allow the controller to expand to the left
to prevent the controller from using up peripheral slots.
Star Trigger Slot
The Star Trigger (ST) slot is located at Slot 2. This slot has a dedicated
trigger line between each peripheral slot (see Figure 1-3). This slot is
intended for modules with ST functionality that can provide individual
triggers to all other peripherals. However, if you do not require advanced
trigger functionality, you can install any standard peripheral module into
this slot.
Peripheral Slots
There are seven peripheral slots including the Star Trigger controller slot.

Local Bus
The PXI backplane’s local bus is a daisy-chained bus that connects each
peripheral slot with its adjacent peripheral slots to the left and right, as
shown in Figure 1-3.
For example, a given peripheral slot’s right local bus connects to the
adjacent slot’s left local bus and so on. Each local bus is 13 lines wide and
can pass analog signals between cards or provide a high-speed side-band
communication path that does not affect the PXI bandwidth.
Local Bus signals may range from high-speed TTL signals to analog
signals as high as 42 V. Initialization software keys adjacent boards to
prohibit the use of incompatible boards. This software uses the
configuration information specific to each peripheral board to evaluate
compatibility. This method is a flexible way to define local bus
functionality that is not limited by hardware keying.

operations performed on other modules in the system. Modules can pass
triggers to one another, allowing precisely timed responses to
asynchronous external events the system is monitoring or controlling.
System Reference Clock
The PXI-1000 supplies the PXI 10 MHz system clock signal (PXI_CLK10)
independently to each peripheral slot. An independent buffer (having a
between slots) drives the clock signal to each peripheral slot. You can use
this common reference clock signal to synchronize multiple modules in a
measurement or control system. You can drive PXI_CLK10 from an
external source through the PXI_CLK10_IN pin on the P2 connector of the
Star Trigger Slot. (See Table B-1, P1 (J1) Connector Pinout for the System
Controller Slot, in Appendix B, Pinouts.) Sourcing an external clock on
this pin automatically disables the backplane’s 10 MHz source.

Connecting Safety Ground
Warning The PXI-1000 chassis is designed with a three-position NEMA 15-5 style plug that
connected whenever you power up the chassis.
If your power outlet does not have an appropriate ground connection, you
must connect the premise wire safety ground to the chassis grounding
screw located on the rear panel. Refer to Figure 1-2, Rear View of the
PXI-1000 Mainframe, for a diagram of the chassis grounding screw. To
connect the safety ground, complete the following steps:
1. Connect a 16 AWG (1.3 mm) wire to the chassis grounding screw
using a toothed grounding lug. The wire must have green insulation
with a yellow stripe or must be non-insulated (bare).
2. Attach the opposite end of the wire to permanent earth ground using
toothed washers or a toothed lug.
Connecting to AC Mains Power and Testing Power up
Caution
Make sure the main power switch located on the rear panel of the PXI-1000 is in
a diagram of the main power switch.
!
The power supply is universal, which means the mainframe can connect to
all standard worldwide input voltages. Refer to Chapter 1, Getting Started,
for power cord specifications. Attach input power through the rear AC inlet
using the appropriate line cord supplied. Refer to Figure 1-2, Rear View of
the PXI-1000 Mainframe, for a diagram of the IEC 320 inlet.
Push the main power switch to the On (1) position. Then push the remote
power switch to the On position (if not already on). Observe that all fans
become operational. Note that the main power switch (rear panel) enables
the power module to receive AC power. The remote front panel standby
switch allows the power module to provide power to the PXI backplane
(if the rear main power switch is on). For this reason, you can leave the
main power switch on and use the remote On/Off (Standby) switch on the
front to power up and power down the backplane.

Using the Chassis Initialization File
To assist system integrators, the PXI specification requires manufacturers
of PXI chassis and system modules to document the capabilities of their
products. The minimum documentation requirements are contained in
.ini files, which consist of ASCII text. The system integrator can read the
.ini file, and configuration utilities and device drivers can also use this
file. The PXI-1000 chassis initialization file, chassis.ini, is included on

Maintenance
This chapter describes basic maintenance procedures you can perform on
the PXI-1000 mainframe.
Service Interval
Clean the mainframe fan filters at a maximum interval of six months.
Depending upon the amount of use and ambient dust levels in the operating
environment, the filters may require more frequent cleaning.
Clean dust from the mainframe exterior (and interior) as needed, based on
Preparation
The information in this section is designed for use by qualified service
personnel. Read the For Your Safety section at the beginning of this manual
before attempting any procedures in this chapter.
Caution
Many components within the mainframe are susceptible to static discharge
damage. Service the mainframe only in a static-free environment. Observe
standard handling precautions for static-sensitive devices while servicing the
mainframe. Always wear a grounded wrist strap, or equivalent, while servicing
the mainframe.
!
Cleaning
Cleaning procedures consist of exterior and interior cleaning of the
mainframe and cleaning the fan filters. Refer to your module user
documentation for information on cleaning the individual CompactPCI
or PXI modules.
Caution
Always power-off the mainframe (using the main power switch on the rear of the
mainframe) and disconnect the power cord before cleaning or servicing the
mainframe.

Maintenance
Interior Cleaning
Exterior Cleaning
Use a dry, low-velocity stream of air to clean the interior of the mainframe.
Use a soft-bristle brush for cleaning around components. If you must use a
liquid for minor interior cleaning, use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution and
rinse with deionized water.
Clean the exterior surfaces of the mainframe with a dry lint-free cloth or a
soft-bristle brush. If any dirt remains, wipe with a cloth moistened in a mild
soap solution. Remove any soap residue by wiping with a cloth moistened
with clear water. Do not use abrasive compounds on any part of the
mainframe.
Cautions Avoid getting moisture inside the mainframe during exterior cleaning. 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 mainframe.
Do not use chemical cleaning agents; they may damage the mainframe. Avoid
chemicals that contain benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar solvents.
Cleaning the Fan Filters
You can easily remove the mainframe cooling filters from the rear of the
mainframe by removing the plastic housing attached to each fan.
Clean the fan filters by washing them in a mild soap solution and then
vacuuming or blowing air through them. Rinse the filters with water and
allow them to dry before reinstalling them on the mainframe.

Maintenance
Resetting the AC Mains Circuit Breaker
If your PXI-1000 encounters an over-current condition, the circuit breaker
located on the rear panel will trip to prevent damage to the mainframe.
Complete the following steps to reset the circuit breaker:
1. Turn the front panel (remote) power switch to the Standby position.
2. Turn off the rear main power switch.
3. Depress the circuit breaker to reset it.
4. Turn on the rear main power switch.
5. Turn the front panel (remote) power switch to the On position.
If the circuit breaker trips again, complete the following steps:
3. Disconnect the mainframe from the AC mains power source.
4. Remove all modules from the mainframe.
5. Complete the test procedure described in the Connecting to AC Mains
Power and Testing Power up section in Chapter 2, Installation and
Configuration.
6. If any voltages are outside the acceptable limits, contact National
Instruments.
7. If all voltages are within the acceptable limits, verify that your
PXI-1000 can meet the power requirements of your CompactPCI or
PXI modules. Overloading the chassis can cause the breaker to trip.
Refer to Appendix A, Specifications.
8. The over-current condition that caused the circuit breaker to trip may
be due to a faulty CompactPCI or PXI module. Refer to the
documentation that was supplied with the modules for troubleshooting
your modules.
