Safety Information
The following general safety precau­tions must be observed during all phases of operation of this instrument. Failure to comply with these precau­tions or with specific warnings or oper­ating instructions in the product manuals violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. Keysight Technolo­gies assumes no liability for the cus­tomer's failure to comply with these requirements.
General
Do not use this product in any manner not specified by the manufacturer. The protec­tive features of this product must not be impaired if it is used in a manner specified in the operation instructions.
Before Applying Power
Verify that all safety precautions are taken. Make all connections to the unit before applying power. Note the external markings described under “Safety Symbols”.
Ground the Instrument
Keysight chassis’ are provided with a grounding-type power plug. The instrument chassis and cover must be connected to an electrical ground to minimize shock hazard. The ground pin must be firmly connected to an electri­cal ground (safety ground) terminal at the power outlet. Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor or disconnection of the protective earth terminal will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in per­sonal injury.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the module/chassis in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
Do Not Operate Near Flammable Liquids
Do not operate the module/chassis in the presence of flammable liquids or near containers of such liquids.

If necessary, return the product to an Keysight Technolo­gies Sales and Service Office for ser­vice and repair to ensure the safety features are maintained.
DO NOT block the primary disconnect
The primary disconnect device is the appliance connector/power cord when a chassis used by itself, but when installed into a rack or system the dis­connect may be impaired and must be considered part of the installation.
Do Not Modify the Instrument
Do not install substitute parts or per­form any unauthorized modification to the product. Return the product to an Keysight Sales and Service Office to ensure that safety features are main­tained.
In Case of Damage
Instruments that appear damaged or defective should be made inoperative and secured against unintended oper­ation until they can be repaired by qualified service personnel
Do NOT block vents and fan exhaust: To ensure adequate cooling and venti­lation, leave a gap of at least 50mm (2") around vent holes on both sides of the chassis.
Do NOT operate with empty slots: To ensure proper cooling and avoid dam­aging equipment, fill each empty slot with an AXIe filler panel module.
Do NOT stack free-standing chassis: Stacked chassis should be rack­mounted.
All modules are grounded through the chassis: During installation, tighten each module's retaining screws to secure the module to the chassis and to make the ground connection.
Operator is responsible to maintain safe operating conditions. To ensure safe operating conditions, modules should not be operated beyond the full temperature range specified in the Environmental and physical specifica­tion. Exceeding safe operating condi­tions can result in shorter lifespan, improper module performance and user safety issues. When the modules are in use and operation within the specified full temperature range is not maintained, module surface tempera­tures may exceed safe handling condi­tions which can cause discomfort or burns if touched. In the event of a module exceeding the full temperature range, always allow the module to cool before touching or removing modules from the chassis.

Step 1: Unpack and Inspect the Module

Keysight’s PXI switch modules are shipped in materials that prevent static electricity damage. The modules should only be removed from the packaging in an anti-static area ensuring that correct anti-static precautions are taken. Store all modules in anti-static envelopes when not in use.
Step 1: Unpack and Inspect the Module
ESD
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. All work on electronic assemblies should be performed at a static-safe work station. The following figure shows an example of a static-safe work station using two types of ESD protection.
- Conductive table-mat and wrist-strap combination.
- Conductive floor-mat and heel-strap combination.
Both types, when used together, provide a significant level of ESD protection. Of the two, only the table-mat and wrist-strap combination provides adequate ESD protection when used alone. To ensure user safety, the static-safe accessories must provide at least 1 M of isolation from ground. Purchase acceptable ESD accessories from your local supplier.

System Controller
To ensure proper system operation and the PC’s ability to enumerate all of the PXI modules, you must use an approved embedded PC, desktop PC, or laptop PC along with approved PCIe adaptor and cable.

Using a remote PC

Refer to the following figure. Make certain that both the PC and the PXI chassis are turned off. Unplug the chassis from the ac power mains. If you are using the M9018A 18 Slot PXIe chassis, install the Keysight M9021A PCIe Cable Interface module in the chassis.
- If you are using a desktop or rack mount PC, install the M9047 PCIe Desktop Adapter in the PC. With a Keysight Y1202A cable, connect the adapter to the System Interface module.
Step 4. Connect the PC to the PXI Chassis
- If you are using a laptop PC, install the M9045 PCIe ExpressCard Adapter in the laptop. With a Keysight Y1200A cable, connect the adapter to the System Interface module on the PXI chassis .

Using an embedded computer

Refer to the figure above. If you are using an embedded controller in the PXI chassis, you should have installed it prior to installing the Keysight IO Libraries and instrument drivers. No cables or other adapters are required. After installation, proceed to “Step 5: Install the Switch Modules in the PXI Chassis”

Step 5: Install the Switch Modules in the PXI Chassis

Step 5: Install the Switch Modules in the PXI Chassis
- PXI hardware does not support “hot-swap” capabilities (changing modules while power is applied to the chassis).
- Before installing or removing Keysight PXI Modules, the chassis must be powered off to prevent damage to the PXI module. Remove all cables/terminal blocks from the module prior to installing or removing the module.
These modules can be used in a chassis with a cPCI, PXI-1, or PXIh chassis peripheral slot.
The modules can be installed in any standard PXI slot marked with a peripheral slot compatibility image (a circle containing the slot number).
The modules can also be installed in any hybrid PXI slot marked with a peripheral slot compatibility image (the letter “H” and a solid circle containing the slot number).
1 Make sure the PXI chassis power is turned off.
2 If the chassis has multiple fan speed settings, ensure that the fans are set to
automatic. Do not set the fan speed to low or turn them off.
3 Position the chassis with ample space between the chassis fan intake and
exhaust vents. Blockage by walls or obstructions affects the air flow needed for cooling. (Refer to the chassis documentation for cooling information).
4 The modules are shipped with thread protectors over the mounting screws.
These must be removed before installing the modules in a chassis.
5 Holding the PXI module by the injector/ejector handle, slide it into an
available PXI (or hybrid) slot, as shown in the following figure.
– Install the module in the PXI slot by
placing the module card edges into the front module guides (top and bottom).
– Slide the module to the rear of the chassis
and assure that the injector/ejector handle is pushed down in the unlatched (downward) position.
– Slide the module completely into the
chassis. When you begin to feel resistance, push up on the injector/ejector handle to fully seat the module into the chassis.
Keysight PXI Matrix and Multiplexer Modules Startup Guide 16
Page 18
Step 5: Install the Switch Modules in the PXI Chassis
6 Latch the module by pulling up on the injector/ejector handle and secure the
front panel to the chassis using the module mounting screws.
7 Tighten the screws on the module (or remote controller) front panel.
Performance may suffer if the screws are not securely tightened.
8 Install all chassis covers, filler panels, and air inlet modules after installing the
module. Missing filler panels may disrupt necessary air circulation in the chassis.
9 If you are using a remote controller, connect the System Interface Card in the
chassis to the host computer.
10 Plug in and power up the PXI chassis. Verify that the chassis fans are
operating and free of obstructions that may restrict airflow.
If you are using a remote controller linked to the M9021A Cable Interface, you must Shut Down the PC BEFORE you power down the chassis. When you restore power, you must power up the chassis BEFORE you power up the PC.
If you are using MXI-3 to connect a desktop PC to a PXI chassis or link to multiple chassis, power up the system as follows:
- For a system with a PC and one chassis, power up the chassis before powering the PC.
- For a system with more than one chassis, power on the last chassis in the system followed by the penultimate, etc. Finally, turn on the PC or chassis containing the system controller.
11 If you are using a remote host computer (rack mount, desktop, or laptop PC),
power-on the computer. Choose the default option for any “Found New Hardware” dialogs.
After all of the “Found New Hard ware” dialogs are complete, you must reboot the host computer.
Chassis Power Down Process
If you are using a remote controller linked to the M9021A Cable Interface, you must Shut Down the PC BEFORE you power down the chassis. When you restore power, you must power up the chassis BEFORE you power up the PC.

Step 6. Verify Operation of the Module

Step 6. Verify Operation of the Module

Run Keysight IO Libraries Connection Expert

If Keysight Connection Expert is already running on the system controller, click the Refresh All button to identify any hardware you have just installed or re-connected.
If Connection Expert is not already running, run it now to verify your I/O configuration. In the Windows Notification Area, click the IO icon ( ), then click Keysight Connection Expert.
Locate your interfaces and instruments in the Keysight Connection Expert Explorer Pane. The following graphic shows the Connection Expert screen.
Select a module in the center pane (Instrument I/O on this PC). The right-hand Pane shows the instrument properties. Select the Installed Drivers tab then click the Start SFP button.
You can use the Soft Front Panel (SFP) software to open and close the relays and verify operation of the switch modules. The Soft Front Panel Software was installed as part of the Software installation process.
Keysight PXI Matrix and Multiplexer Modules Startup Guide 18
Page 20
Step 6. Verify Operation of the Module
Refer to the SFP help file on the Switch Module Software and Product Information CD for specific detailed information on the SFP.
In the Soft Front Panel interface, when you mouse over a specific channel or matrix crosspoint the cursor changes to the hand cursor, and a popup tool-tip shows the channel number as shown in the following graphic. The following graphic
shows an example of the SFP for the M9101A Multiplexer module; it shows channel 36 and the isolation relay closed.
Beginning with SFP Version 1.1.x, if you have another application, either your own program or another instance of the SFP interface, that has initialized the switch module, then the SFP enters it’s “monitor” mode. In this mode, you cannot change relay state and the menu buttons are grayed-out. However, as the other application controls the channels, the SFP interface monitors and displays the state of the individual relays. Refer to the SFP help file for additional information.
Verify operation
There are no specific operational verification or self test procedures. However, you can use the Soft Front Panel software to open and close individual channels. Module specifications are guaranteed by design.

Characteristics

For detailed module characteristics and specifications, refer to the module Data Sheet on the Switch Module Software and Product Information CD or the Switch data sheet online at www.keysight.com/find/pxiswitch.

Default Path Settings

The table below lists the default or power down state for the matrix and multiplexer modules. This default switch path is also shown in the following diagrams.
Switch modules are considered a “wear-out” item. It is normal for relay performance to degrade over time; life expectancy depends on the specific application and use model. Hot-switching of relays decreases useful life more rapidly than no-load switching. Refer to the product data sheet for approximate lifetimes under different loads. Premature wear-out due to application requirements and damage due to accidental over-current or over-voltage conditions are not covered by product warranty.

M9101A PXI Multiplexer Module: 64-Channel, 2 Wire

Keysight’s M9101A high density multiplexer module operates as a conventional multiplexer module with break-before-make action.
An isolation switch connects the closed channel to the module COMmon. This allows for minimum capacitive loading and leakage currents in large multiplexer systems. Larger multiplexers may be constructed by daisy- chaining the COMmon connections on multiple PXI cards.
Relays on this module are Ruthenium sputtered reed relays. Front panel connections are through a high density 200 pin Low Force Helix (LFH) connector.

M9103A PXI Multiplexer: 99-Channel, 2 Wire

Keysight’s M9103A high density multiplexer module operates as a conventional multiplexer module with break-before-make action. This module uses armature relays.
An isolation switch connects the closed channel(s) to the module COMmon. This allows for minimum capacitive loading and leakage currents in large multiplexer systems. Larger multiplexers may be constructed by daisy- chaining the COMmon connections on multiple PXI cards.
Relays on this module are Ruthenium sputtered reed relays. Front panel connections are through a high density 200 pin Low Force Helix (LFH) connector.

M9120A PXI Matrix Switch module: 4x32, 2 Wire

The M9120A Matrix Switch modules is constructed as a matrix 128 two pole armature relays. See the functional schematic below.
This module is designed to switch medium voltage/power signals in test applications where reed relays do not have sufficient rating. It is suitable for telecoms applications where send and return signals need to be switched simultaneously.
Larger matrices may be constructed by daisy-chaining the rows from multiple modules. For example, chaining the four rows of two M9120A modules would create a 4x64 matrix.

M9122A PXI Matrix Switch: 8x32, 1 Wire

Keysight’s M9122A Matrix Switch module is a high density module configured as a 32 column by eight row matrix. Each relay is a single-pole switch as shown in the functional schematic below.
Larger matrices may be constructed by daisy-chaining the rows from multiple modules. For example, chaining the eight rows of two M9122A module would create a 8x64 matrix.
These relays on this modules are high reliability Palladium-Ruthenium, Gold plated, bifurcated Armature Relays, providing long life and stable contact resistance. Connections to the modules are through a 50-pin
connector.

screws to separate clam shell halves
Wires go under strain relief bar. Do not over tighten
strain relief clamp.

Disassembling the Terminal Block Clam Shells

1 Loosen the two screws indicated in Figure 21. These screws are captive to the
bottom half of the clam shell. Note: the other two screws are for the strain relief.
Figure 21 Disassembling the Terminal Block Clam Shell
2 Separate the two clam shell halves. Be careful not to lose the long screw locks
used to secure the terminal block to the PXI switch module.
3 To use the strain relief, loosen the two strain relief screws and lift up on the
strain relief bar. Refer to Figure 22.
Figure 22 Using the Strain Relief Clamp
4 Insert your cable under the strain relief bar and re-tighten the two strain relief
screws.
Do not over tighten the strain relief screws. Possible damage to the cable(s) may occur if overtightened. Use only sufficient tension to secure the cable in place.
5 To reassemble the clamshell, make certain the screw locks are in place. Place
the calm shell halves together. Tighten the two clam shell screws.

Electrical Operating Conditions

To avoid electric shock, Turn off the chassis and disconnect or de-energize all field wiring to the modules before installing or removing any module or chassis slot cover.

Transients

The multiplexer and matrix modules described in this manual are designed to safely withstand occasional transient voltages up to 1500 Vpeak. Typically, these transient over voltages result from switching inductive loads or from nearby lighting strikes.
Not for connection to mains. Do not connect any of the modules d irectly to a mains power outlet. If it is necessary to switch a large ind uctive load, you must add signal conditioning elements to reduce the potential transients before they reach the modules.
Electrical Operating Conditions

High Energy Sources

These modules are designed to handle inputs up to their rated currents or their rated powers, whichever is less. Under certain fault conditions, high energy sources could provide substantially more current or power than a module can handle. It is important to provide external current limiting, such as fuses, if the module inputs are connected to high energy sources.
For the latest specifications, check the Keysight web site at:
www.keysight.com/find/pxiswitch.
Install current limiting devices between high energy sources and the module inputs.

Environmental Operating Conditions

Environmental Operating Conditions
These modules are designed to operate in a temperature range of 0 °C to +55 °C with non-condensing humidity. The maximum humidity is 95% at 40 use in locations where conductive dust or electrolytic salt dust may be present.
These modules should be operated in an indoor environment where temperature and humidity are controlled. Condensation can pose a potential shock hazard. Condensation can occur when the modules are moved from a cold to a warm environment, or if the temperature and/or humidity of the environment changes quickly.
These modules are not for connection to Mains.
Refer to the data sheet for maximum voltage, current, and power dissipation ratings for each module. If conditions change, ensure that condensation has evaporated and the modules have thermally stabilized until Pollution Degree 1 conditions are restored before turning on power to the equipment.
°C. Do not
Pollution Degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence (on insulation) (IEC 610101-1 2nd Edition).
Pollution Degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution occurs. Occasionally, a temporary conductivity (leakage current between isolated conductors) caused by condensation can be expected (IEC 610101-1 2nd Edition).
