2.5Backplane overview
The cBX-3014L backplane supports both PXI modules and standard CompactPCI cards. The backplane’s P1 connector signals
comply with the requirements of CompactPCI specifications for
both peripheral and system modules.
PXI-specific signals are located on P2. Only those signals
reserved or not used for the CompactPCI 64-bit specification ar e
found on PXI specific signals, allowing all modules that comply
with the former to function in the chassis.

System Controller Slot
The PXIS-2690P system controller slot is at Slot 1 as defined by
PXI specifications. It has three controller expansion slots (total
four), 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 towards the left to prevent the controller
from using up peripheral slots.
Star Trigger Slot
Slot 2 is reserved for the star trigger. Th is slot has dedicated trigger lines to slots 3 to 14. The start trigger slot provides individual
triggers to peripherals and is designed for modules with ST functionalities.

8Chassis Overview
Peripheral Slots
Thirteen slots are available for installation of peripheral modules.
This includes the star trigger controller slot.
Local Bus
The cBX-3014L local bus is a daisy-chained bus that connects
each peripheral slot with its adjacent (left and right) slot. A local
bus is 13 lines wide, transmits analog or digital signals between
modules, and/or provides a high-speed sideband communication
path without affecting the PXI bus bandwidth.
Per PXI specifications, the local bus connects all slots except slots
1 (system slot) and 2.
Trigger Bus
The PXIS-2690P incorporates a PXI trigger bus to synchronize the
operation of several and different PXI peripheral modules, or to
use one module to control the timed sequences of operations performed on other modules. Modu les can exchange trig gers via the
trigger bus, allowing precise timed responses to asynchronous
external events that the system monito rs or con tro ls.
Chassis Overview 9
System Reference Clock
The PXIS-2690P supplies a 10 MHz system reference clock signal
(PXI_CLK10) to every peripheral slot independently. An independent buffer (having a source impedance matched to the b ackplan e
and a skew of less than 1 ns between slots) drives the clock signal
to each peripheral slot. You can use this common reference clock
signal to synchronize multiple mod ules in a measurem ent or control system, or drive PXI_CLK10 from an external source through
the PXI_CLK10_IN pin on the P2 connector of the star trigger slot.
You can select the internal or external clock by setting jumpers
JP2 and JP3 in the backplane rear. Refer to the jumper settings
below.

4Troubleshooting and Maintenance
4.1Installation Problems
Failure to start the system usu ally results from incorrect installation of the system controller, peripheral modules, etc. Go through
the following checklist before you start up the system.
X The system controller is properly installed and secured.
X All peripheral modules are properly seated on the slots.
X All cables are properly connected to the system controller/
peripheral modules.
X All peripheral modules installed are compatible for use in
the chassis.
X The power cord is properly plugged into the chassis power
connector and power outlet/wall socket/power strip.
If the system fails to turn on even after all installation conditions
are met, remove all peripheral modules that you installed, then try
again. If the system turns on properly, try installing one peripheral
module at a time, then test if the system will power-up. You may
also try installing the modules into different slots until you get the
desired result.
4.2BIOS Beeps
BIOS beeps indicate errors in system initialization. These beeps
are usually associated with video and memory errors. If the system beeps during start up, check if the display is properly connected to the system controller or if the integrated LCD drivers are
properly installed. You may also check if the memory modules are
properly installed in the system controller.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance 29
4.4Maintenance
Handling the chassis
Make sure that the keyboard tray is closed before transporting/
moving the chassis. The keyboard tray serves as the LCD protection. It is recommended that you transport the chassis in the carr ying case provided, or carry it using the handles. The handles are
designed to carry the weight of the chassis for superior portability
and balance.
Taking care of the keyboard/touchpad
The integrated keyboard allows you to input data faster in any
application. It also protects the LCD when transporting the system.
Avoid dropping liquids or small objects on the keyboard. You may
use a compress air cleaner to remove dusts and dirt that build up
under the keys.
Keep the touch pad surface dry and clean for better performance.
Cleaning the LCD
Clean the LCD periodically with a moist cloth for better display.
Observe the following precautions when cleaning the LCD.
X Do not use any abrasive material to wipe the LCD screen to
avoid scratching the LCD surface.
X Do not apply too much pressure on the surfa ce when wiping
the LCD screen.
X Do not use a cleaner that contains alcohol.
X Do not use a rough cloth that could scratch the LCD screen
surface.
X Clean the LCD screen with gentle wipes in one direction.
Handling cables
Treat all cables with care. Do not over extend any cable to prevent
internal breaking. All cables and plugs must be handled or connected properly.
30Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Power requirements
Make sure that the power cord is in good condition b efore plugging
it into the system. You also need to check the reliability of the
power source. The PXIS-2690P power supply is capable of handling 100 V to 240 V AC within the 50 Hz to 60 Hz range. Do not
connect the PXIS-2690P on an already overloaded circuit.
