The following safety precautions should be observed before using this product and any associated instrumentation. Although
some instruments and accessories would normally be used with non-hazardous voltages, there are situations where hazardous
conditions may be present.
This product is intended for use by qualified personnel who recognize shock hazards and are familiar with the safety precautions
required to avoid possible injury. Read and follow all installation, operation, and maintenance information carefully before using
the product. Refer to the manual for complete product specifications.
If the product is used in a manner not specified, the protection provided by the product may be impaired.
The types of product users are:
Responsible body is the individual or group responsible for the use and maintenance of equipment, for ensuring that the
equipment is operated within its specifications and operating limits, and for ensuring that operators are adequately trained.
Operators use the product for its intended function. They must be trained in electrical safety procedures and proper use of the
instrument. They must be protected from electric shock and contact with hazardous live circuits.
Maintenance personnel perform routine procedures on the product to keep it operating properly, for example, setting the line
voltage or replacing consumable materials. Maintenance procedures are described in the manual. The procedures explicitly state
if the operator may perform them. Otherwise, they should be performed only by service personnel.
Safety Precautions
Service personnel are trained to work on live circuits, and perform safe installations and repairs of products. Only properly
trained service personnel may perform installation and service procedures.
Keithley Instruments products are designed for use with electrical signals that are rated Measurement Category I and
Measurement Category II, as described in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standard IEC 60664. Most
measurement, control, and data I/O signals are Measurement Category I and must not be directly connected to mains voltage or
to voltage sources with high transient over-voltages. Measurement Category II connections require protection for high transient
over-voltages often associated with local AC mains connections. Assume all measurement, control, and data I/O connections are
for connection to Category I sources unless otherwise marked or described in the Manual.
Exercise extreme caution when a shock hazard is present. Lethal voltage may be present on cable connector jacks or test
fixtures. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) states that a shock hazard exists when voltage levels greater than
30V RMS, 42.4V peak, or 60VDC are present. A good safety practice is to expect that hazardous voltage is present in any
unknown circuit before measuring.
Operators of this product must be protected from electric shock at all times. The responsible body must ensure that operators
are prevented access and/or insulated from every connection point. In some cases, connections must be exposed to potential
human contact. Product operators in these circumstances must be trained to protect themselves from the risk of electric shock.
If the circuit is capable of operating at or above 1000 volts, no conductive part of the circuit may be exposed.
Do not connect switching cards directly to unlimited power circuits. They are intended to be used with impedance limited sources.
NEVER connect switching cards directly to AC mains. When connecting sources to switching cards, install protective devices to
limit fault current and voltage to the card.
Before operating an instrument, make sure the line cord is connected to a properly grounded power receptacle. Inspect the
connecting cables, test leads, and jumpers for possible wear, cracks, or breaks before each use.
12/06
When installing equipment where access to the main power cord is restricted, such as rack mounting, a separate main input
power disconnect device must be provided, in close proximity to the equipment and within easy reach of the operator.
For maximum safety, do not touch the product, test cables, or any other instruments while power is applied to the circuit under
test. ALWAYS remove power from the entire test system and discharge any capacitors before: connecting or disconnecting
cables or jumpers, installing or removing switching cards, or making internal changes, such as installing or removing jumpers.
Do not touch any object that could provide a current path to the common side of the circuit under test or power line (earth) ground.
Always make measurements with dry hands while standing on a dry, insulated surface capable of withstanding the voltage being
measured.
The instrument and accessories must be used in accordance with its specifications and operating instructions or the safety of the
equipment may be impaired.
Do not exceed the maximum signal levels of the instruments and accessories, as defined in the specifications and operating
information, and as shown on the instrument or test fixture panels, or switching card.
When fuses are used in a product, replace with same type and rating for continued protection against fire hazard.
Chassis connections must only be used as shield connections for measuring circuits, NOT as safety earth ground connections.
If you are using a test fixture, keep the lid closed while power is applied to the device under test. Safe operation requires the use
of a lid interlock.
If a screw is present, connect it to safety earth ground using the wire recommended in the user documentation.
!
The symbol on an instrument indicates that the user should refer to the operating instructions located in the manual.

The CAUTION heading in a manual explains hazards that could damage the instrument. Such damage may invalidate the
warranty.
Instrumentation and accessories shall not be connected to humans.
Before performing any maintenance, disconnect the line cord and all test cables.
To maintain protection from electric shock and fire, replacement components in mains circuits, including the power transformer,
test leads, and input jacks, must be purchased from Keithley Instruments. Standard fuses, with applicable national safety
approvals, may be used if the rating and type are the same. Other components that are not safety related may be purchased
from other suppliers as long as they are equivalent to the original component. (Note that selected parts should be purchased only
through Keithley Instruments to maintain accuracy and functionality of the product.) If you are unsure about the applicability of a
replacement component, call a Keithley Instruments office for information.
To clean an instrument, use a damp cloth or mild, water based cleaner. Clean the exterior of the instrument only. Do not apply
cleaner directly to the instrument or allow liquids to enter or spill on the instrument. Products that consist of a circuit board with
no case or chassis (e.g., data acquisition board for installation into a computer) should never require cleaning if handled
according to instructions. If the board becomes contaminated and operation is affected, the board should be returned to the
factory for proper cleaning/servicing.

Ethernet interfaces
The Model KPXI-CON controller supports an Intel 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet controller. It
integrates MAC and PHY functions into a single chip to provide a standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
interface for 10/100/1000BASE-T applications. The controller provides a 64-bit wide interface
compliant with PCI 2.3 and PCI-X 1.0a specifications. The Ethernet interface is routed to an RJ45
port with activity/speed LEDs.
Display interfaces
The Intel® 855GME GMCH chip has dual independent display pipes which can support concurrent
or simultaneous display on each display device. The 350MHz integrated 24bit RAMDAC supports
analog display pixel resolution up to 1600x1200 at 85Hz and 2048x1536 at 75Hz.
Universal Serial Bus (USB)
The Model KPXI-CON controller supports three USB 2.0 serial ports. Ports 1 and 2 are on the front
panel, port 3 is used as a USB-to-CF or USB-to-IDE adaptor to support a Compact Flash Type II
socket on the front panel or a 2.5” IDE HDD. Additional ports can be added through the use of an
external USB hub. USB allows for the easy addition of peripherals such as mouse, keyboard,
speakers, etc. Transfer rates of up to 480Mb/s are supported. High-speed connections require
shielded cables. The Model KPXI-CON controller provides each USB port 0.5A at 5V to power
peripherals and each USB port is protected by a power distribution switch (0.5A rating allows for
inrush currents).
Hot-swappable CF interface
An external CompactFlash socket is available on the Model KPXI-CON controller front panel. The
external CompactFlash interface provides Plug and Play features and is also hot swappable.
Therefore, a CompactFlash card can be used as a replacement for floppy disks and can also
provide very large storage capability (up to 1GB). It is also possible to set this CF interface as a
boot device by selecting boot from USB in the BIOS menu. For information on changing BIOS
settings see
Appendix B. Note that drivers are needed for the external CompactFlash interface.

Watchdog Timer
The Model KPXI-CON controller system implements two watchdog timers. The Intel® 6300ESB
provides one 2-stage programmable watchdog timer (WDT) and the W83627HF provides one 1stage programmable watchdog timer.
6300ESB Watchdog Timer
•Supports selectable prescaler – approximately 1MHz (1µs to 1s) and approximately 1KHz
(1ms to 10min).
•The 2-stage WDT mode operates as follows: When the first programmed time expires
before the counter is reloaded, the WDT generates an IRQ, SMI, or SCI interrupt and loads
the second programmed value. If the host still fails to reload the WDT before the second
timeout, the WDT drives WDT_TOUT# low and resets Model KPXI-CON controller system.
W83627HF Watchdog Timer
•Watchdog timer is programmable from 1 to 255 seconds.
•Time out will generate interrupt to NMI or RESET, BIOS selectable.
LED Setting
The Model KPXI-CON System Controller provides four LEDs on the front panel to display the
following information:
•System Active LED: This Green LED will turn on after POST; turn off when system is
