1.5Backplane Overview
1.5.1Interoperability with CompactPCI
PXIS-2719A is compatible for use with both PXI-compatible products and standard CompactPCI products, with PXI Specification
Rev. 2.2-compliant backplanes.
Signals on the P1 connector of the backplane meet the requirements of the CompactPCI specification for both peripheral and
system modules.
The PXI-specific signals are located on P2. Only the signals
reserved or not used in the CompactPCI 64-bit specification are
found on PXI-specific signals. Therefore, peripheral modules that
Introduction 11
meet the requirements of the CompactPCI 64-bit specification will
function in the PXIS-2719A.
CompactPCI peripheral modules which operate with rear I/O
modules can NOT be installed in the PXIS-2719A, due to pos-
NOTE:
NOTE:
sible conflict between rear I/O signals and PXI-specific signals
on J2.
1.5.2System Controller Slot
The System Controller slot is Slot 1 as defined by the PXI specification. The PXIS-2719A chassis can accommodate a PXI system
controller occupying up to 3 slots. As defined in the PXI specification, two controller expansion slots allow the controller to expand
to the left to avoid occupying peripheral slots.
1.5.3Star Trigger Slot
The Star Trigger (ST) slot is Slot 2. This slot has dedicated trigger
lines between ST slot itself and slots 3-15. The star trigger functionality provides a precise trigger signal to the peripheral modules
by installing a specific star trigger controller module in the ST slot.
The star trigger slot can be also used as a general peripheral slot if
star trigger functionality is not required.
1.5.4Peripheral Slots
The PXIS-2719A provides 18 peripheral slots (including the Star
Trigger controller slot). Each peripheral slot can accommodate a
3U PXI/CompactPCI peripheral module.
DO NOT install a 3U CompactPCI module with rear I/O function in the PXIS-2719A chassis.System damage may result.
CAUTION:
12Introduction
PXIS-2719A
Figure 1-8: Instrument Signal Routing
1.5.5Local Bus
The local bus on a PXI backplane is a daisy-chained bus that connects each peripheral slot with adjacent peripheral slots to the left
and right. Each local bus has 13 lines and can transmit analog or
digital signals between modules. It can also provide a high-speed
sideband communication path that does not affect the PCI bandwidth.
In accordance with the PXI specification, the local bus connects all
adjacent slots except slots 1 and 2.
1.5.6Trigger Bus
The trigger bus is an 8-line bus that connects all PXI slots in the
same PCI segment. The trigger bus can be used to provide intermodule synchronization. PXI modules can transmit trigger or
clock signals to one another through the trigger bus, allowing precisely timed responses to asynchronous external events the system is monitoring or controlling.
The PXIS-2719A provides three trigger bus segments, connected
by two trigger bus buffers. The first segment is from slot 1 to slot 6,
Introduction 13
the second from slot 7 to slot 12, and the last from slot 13 to slot
19. Switch SWY1 shown is the on-board switch, controlling the
configuration of these two buffers.

1.5.7System Reference Clock
The PXIS-2719A supplies a PXI 10MHz system reference clock
(PXI_CLK10) to each peripheral slot for inter-module synchronization. An independent buffer (having source impedance matched to
the backplane and a skew of less than 1 ns between slots) drives
the clock signal generated from a high-precision oscillator to each
peripheral slot.
This common reference clock signal can synchronize multiple
modules in a PXI chassis. The 10 MHz reference clock is important to the PXI specification for inter-module synchronization. PXI
modules which have phase-locker loop circuit can lock the 10
MHz reference clock to generate an in-phase timebase.
The PXIS-2719A PXI chassis automatically selects the source of
the 10 MHz reference clock from
X Built-in accurate 10 MHz oscillator
X External 10 MHz clock through a BNC connector

2.2Cooling Considerations
The PXIS-2719A features an innovative design for heat dissipation, with cooling fans in the rear section of the chassis, drawing
cool air through apertures on the bottom for exhaust through the
back. This design provides uniform airflow for each PXI slot and
exceptional cooling capability. When the chassis is installed in a
rack, the cooling design minimizes drawing of hot air from the rear
area, where other devices exhaust, while maintaining a steady
temperature inside the chassis. For optimal cooling efficiency,
retain support feet.
When rack mounting the PXIS-2719A, at least 1U (44.5 mm/1.75
in.) clearance below the intake apertures is required. Also keep
other objects or equipment at a minimum of 76.2 mm (3 in.) away
from the outlet apertures in the rear region of the chassis.
To maintain expected airflow, please always install filler panels
in unused slots. The filler panels can be found in the chassis

This Appendix describes basic troubleshooting techniques, as well
as instructions for the maintenance of the PXIS-2719A chassis.
1Installation Problems
Inability to start the system frequently results from incorrect installation of the system controller, peripheral modules, and other components. Before starting the system, please ensure that:
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
and peripheral modules
X All installed peripheral modules are compatible for use in
the chassis
X The power cord is securely plugged into the chassis power
connector and power outlet/wall socket/power strip
If the system fails to start when all installation conditions are met,
remove all installed peripheral modules and try again. If the system starts normally, instal one peripheral module at a time followed by powering up. You may also try installing the modules into
different slots until the desired result is obtained
Troubleshooting and Maintenance 53
2Basic Troubleshooting
ProblemEnsure that:
System fails to
power up
No video output in
the external display
Power LED (blue) is
blinking
Fan LED (green) is
blinking
Temperature LED
(amber) is blinking
X The power cord is securely
plugged into the chassis power
connector and wall socket/power
strip
X The wall socket/power strip is live
X The main power switch on the
back of the chassis is turned on
X The standby power button on the
chassis front panel is turned on
X The external display is function-
ing properly
X Display settings support external
video
There is no short circuit by removing all PXI
modules (PXI controller and peripheral modules)
If the signal persists, contact your dealer for further
assistance
The fan is unobstructed
If the signal persists, contact your dealer for further
assistance.
Airflow from the outlet apertures is unobstructed
and steady; if not, ensure that adequate clearance
for the intake apertures is provided
If the temperature of exhausted air is normal (below
50°C) but the temperature LED is still blinking,
contact your dealer for further assistance.

mended that the handle be used, being designed to support the
weight of the chassis for superior portability and balance.
The PXIS-2719A weighs 14.5 kg. Please be careful when moving
the chassis to avoid any possible injury.
3.2Cleaning the Exterior
Make sure that the system is turned off before cleaning the chassis exterior. Wipe the exterior with a clean cloth starting from areas
that easily accumulate dust or dirt such as the area in and around
the chassis and power supply air intake apertures.
3.3Power Requirements
Make sure that the power cord is in good condition before plugging
it into the system. It is important to check the reliability of the
power source. The PXIS-2719A power supply is capable of handling 100 to 240 V AC within the 50 Hz to 60 Hz range. Do not
connect the PXIS-2719A to an already overloaded circuit.
