System Controller Slot
The system controller slot is Slot 1 of the chassis and is a 4-Link
configuration system slot as defined by the CompactPCI Express and
PXI Express specifications. It has three system controller expansion slots
for system controller modules that are wider than one slot. These slots
allow the system controller to expand to the left to prevent the system
controller from using peripheral slots.
The backplane routes each of the system slots’ x4 PCI Express (PCIe) links
to a PCIe switch. The four (4) PCIe switches have x4 PCIe links routed to
each peripheral slot as well as x1 links to two (2) PCIe-to-PCI bridges
providing 32-bit/33 MHz PCI busses to the hybrid slots. Refer to
Figure 1-3 for the connectivity of PCIe and PCI.
By default, the system controller will control the power supply with the
PS_ON# signals. A logic low on this line will turn the power supply on.
Note The Inhibit Mode switch on the rear of the chassis must be in the Default position
for the system controller to have control of the power supply. Refer to the Inhibit Mode
Switch section of Chapter 2, Installation and Configuration, for details about the Inhibit
Mode switch.
Chapter 1Getting Started
Hybrid Peripheral Slots
The chassis provides eight hybrid peripheral slots as defined by the PXI-5
PXI Express Hardware Specification: slots 2–5 and slots 15–18. A hybrid
peripheral slot can accept the following peripheral modules:
•A PXI Express Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express link to the system
slot or through a PCIe switch to the system slot.
•A CompactPCI Express Type-2 Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express
link to the system slot or through a PCIe switch to the system slot.
•A hybrid-compatible PXI Peripheral module that has been modified by
replacing the J2 connector with an XJ4 connector installed in the upper
eight rows of J2. Refer to the PXI Express Specification for details. The
PXI Peripheral communicates through the backplane’s 32-bit PCI bus.
•A CompactPCI 32-bit peripheral on the backplane’s 32-bit PCI bus.
The hybrid peripheral slots provide full PXI Express functionality and
32-bit PXI functionality except for PXI Local Bus. The hybrid peripheral
slot only connects to PXI Local Bus 6 left and right.
There are eight (8) PXI Express peripheral slots: slots 6–9 and 11–14
(=8 slots). PXI Express peripheral slots can accept the following modules:
•A PXI Express Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express link to the system
slot or through a PCIe switch to the system slot.
•A CompactPCI Express Type-2 Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express
link to the system slot or through a PCIe switch to the system slot.
System Timing Slot
The System Timing Slot is slot 10. The system timing slot will accept the
following peripheral modules:
•A PXI Express System Timing Module with x4 or x1 PCI Express link
to the system slot through a PCIe switch.
•A PXI Express Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express link to the system
slot through a PCIe switch.
•A CompactPCI Express Type-2 Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express
link to the system slot through a PCIe switch.
The system timing slot has 3 dedicated differential pairs (PXIe_DSTAR)
connected from the TP1 and TP2 connectors to the XP3 connector for each
PXI Express peripheral or hybrid peripheral slot, as well as routed back to
the XP3 connector of the system timing slot as shown in Figure 1-4. The
PXIe_DSTAR pairs can be used for high-speed triggering, synchronization
and clocking. Refer to the PXI Express Specification for details.
The system timing slot also has a single-ended (PXI Star) trigger connected
to every slot. Refer to Figure 1-4 for details.
The system timing slot has a pin (PXI_CLK10_IN) through which a system
timing module may source a 10MHz clock to which the backplane will
phase-lock. Refer to the System Reference Clock section for details.
The system timing slot has a pin (PXIe_SYNC_CTRL) through which a
system timing module can control the PXIe_SYNC100 timing. Refer to the
PXI Express Specification and the PXIe_SYNC_CTRL section of this
chapter for details.

The PXI backplane local bus is a daisy-chained bus that connects each
peripheral slot with adjacent peripheral slots to the left and right.
PXIe_DStar 14
PXIe_DStar 15
The backplane routes PXI Local Bus 6 between adjacent PXI slots. The left
local bus 6 from slot 1 is not routed anywhere and the right local bus signal
from slot 18 is not routed anywhere.
Local bus signals may range from high-speed TTL signals to analog signals
as high as 42 V.
Initialization software uses the configuration information specific to each
adjacent peripheral module to evaluate local bus compatibility.
PXI Trigger Bus
All slots on the same PXI bus segment share eight PXI trigger lines. You
can use these trigger lines in a variety of ways. For example, you can use
triggers to synchronize the operation of several different PXI peripheral
modules. In other applications, one module located in the system timing
slot can control carefully timed sequences of 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.
Note Although any trigger line may be routed in either direction, it cannot be routed in
more than one direction at a time.
The PXI trigger lines from adjacent PXI trigger bus segments can be routed
in either direction across the PXI trigger bridges. Refer to Figure 1-5 for the
connectivity diagram. This allows you to send trigger signals to, and
receive trigger signals from, every slot in the chassis. Static trigger routing
(user-specified line and directional assignments) can be configured through
Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). Dynamic routing of triggers
(automatic line assignments) is supported through certain National
Instruments drivers like NI-DAQmx.

System Reference Clock
The PXIe-1075 chassis supplies PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100 and
PXIe_SYNC100 to every peripheral slot with an independent driver for
each signal.
An independent buffer (having a source impedance matched to the
backplane and a skew of less than 1 ns between slots) drives PXI_CLK10
to each peripheral slot. You can use this common reference clock signal to
synchronize multiple modules in a measurement or control system.

An independent buffer drives PXIe_CLK100 to each peripheral slot. These
clocks are matched in skew to less than 100 ps. The differential pair must
be terminated on the peripheral with LVPECL termination for the buffer to
drive PXIe_CLK100 so that when there is no peripheral or a peripheral that
does not connect to PXIe_CLK100, there is no clock being driven on the
pair to that slot. Refer to Figure 1-6 for a termination example.

An independent buffer drives PXIe_SYNC100 to each peripheral slot. The
differential pair must be terminated on the peripheral with LVPECL
termination for the buffer to drive PXIe_SYNC100 so that when there is
no peripheral or a peripheral that does not connect to PXIe_SYNC100,
there is no SYNC100 signal being driven on the pair to that slot. Refer to
Figure 1-6 for a termination example.
In summary, PXI_CLK10 is driven to every slot. PXIE_CLK100 and
PXIE_SYNC100 are driven to every peripheral slot.
PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100 and PXIe_SYNC100 have the default timing
relationship described in Figure 1-7.

Figure 1-7. System Reference Clock Default Behavior
To synchronize the system to an external clock, you can drive PXI_CLK10
from an external source through the PXI_CLK10_IN pin on the System
Timing Slot. Refer to Table B-5, XP4 Connector Pinout for the System
Timing Slot, for the pinout. When a 10MHz clock is detected on this pin,
the backplane automatically phase-locks the PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100,
and PXIe_SYNC100 signals to this external clock and distributes these
signals to the slots. Refer to Appendix A, Specifications, for the
specification information for an external clock provided on the
PXI_CLK10_IN pin of the system timing slot.
You also can drive a 10MHz clock on the 10 MHz REF IN connector on
the rear of the chassis. Refer to Figure 1-2 for the location of this connector.
When a 10MHz clock is detected on this connector, the backplane
automatically phase-locks the PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100, and
PXIe_SYNC100 signals to this external clock and distributes these signals
to the slots. Refer to Appendix A, Specifications, for the specification
information for an external clock provided on the 10 MHz REF IN
connector on the rear panel of the chassis.
If the 10 MHz clock is present on both the PXI_CLK10_IN pin of the
System Timing Slot and the 10 MHz REF IN connector on the rear of the
chassis, the signal on the System Timing Slot is selected. Refer to Table 1-3
which explains how the 10 MHz clocks are selected by the backplane.

PXIe_SYNC_CTRL
Chapter 1Getting Started
A copy of the backplane’s PXI_CLK10 is exported to the 10 MHz REF
OUT connector on the rear of the chassis. Refer to Figure 1-2 for the
location of this connector. This clock is driven by an independent buffer.
Refer to Appendix A, Specifications, for the specification information for
the 10 MHz REF OUT signal on the rear panel of the chassis.
PXIe_SYNC100 is by default a 10 ns pulse synchronous to PXI_CLK10.
The frequency of PXIe_SYNC100 is 10/n MHz, where n is a positive
integer. The default for n is 1, giving PXIe_SYNC100 a 100 ns period.
However, the backplane allows n to be programmed to other integers. For
instance, setting n = 3 gives a PXIe_SYNC100 with a 300ns period while
still maintaining its phase relationship to PXI_CLK10. The value for n may
be set to any positive integer from 1 to 255.
The system timing slot has a control pin for PXIe_SYNC100 called
PXIe_SYNC_CTRL for use when n > 1. Refer to Table B-6, XP3
Connector Pinout for the System Timing Slot, for system timing slot pinout.
Refer to Appendix A, Specifications, for the PXIe_SYNC_CTRL input
specifications.
By default, a high-level detected by the backplane on the
PXIe_SYNC_CTRL pin causes a synchronous restart for the
PXIe_SYNC100 signal. On the next PXI_CLK10 edge the
PXIe_SYNC100 signal will restart. This will allow several chassis to have
their PXIe_SYNC100 in phase with each other. Refer to Figure 1-8 for
timing details with this method.

Chassis Cooling Considerations
The NI PXIe-1075 chassis is designed to operate on a bench or in an
instrument rack. Regardless of the configuration you must provide the
cooling clearances as outlined in the following sections.
Providing Adequate Clearance
The primary cooling exhaust vent for the NI PXIe-1075 is on the top of the
chassis. The primary intake vent is on the rear of the chassis where the air
is filtered as it enters the power supply shuttle. The secondary intake and
exhaust vents are located along the sides of the chassis. Adequate clearance
between the chassis and surrounding equipment or blockages must be
maintained to ensure proper cooling of the chassis power supply as well
as the modules plugged into the chassis. These clearances are outlined in
Figure 2-1. The vent locations for the NI PXIe-1075 chassis are shown
in Figure 2-2. Failure to provide these clearances may result in
thermal-related failures in the chassis or modules.

(both sides)
Figure 2-2. NI PXIe-1075 Vents
Chassis Ambient Temperature Definition
The chassis fan control system uses intake air temperature as the input for
controlling fan speeds when in Auto Fan Speed mode. Because of this, the
chassis ambient temperature is defined as the temperature that exists just
outside of the fan intake vents on the rear of the chassis. Note that this
temperature may be higher than ambient room temperature depending on
the surrounding equipment and/or blockages present. It is the user’s
NI PXIe-1075 User Manual2-4ni.com
responsibility to ensure that this ambient temperature does not exceed the
rated ambient temperature as stated in Appendix A, Specifications. If the
temperature exceeds the stated spec the power switch LED will blink green,
as discussed in the Power Inhibit Switch LED Indicator section of this
chapter.
Setting Fan Speed
The fan-speed selector switch is on the rear panel of the NI PXIe-1075
chassis. Refer to Figure 1-2, Rear View of the NI PXIe-1075 Chassis, to
locate the fan-speed selector switch. Select High for maximum cooling
performance or Auto for improved acoustic performance. When set to
Auto, the fan speed is determined by chassis intake air temperature.
Installing Filler Panels
To maintain proper module cooling performance, install filler panels
(provided with the chassis) in unused or empty slots. Secure with the
captive mounting screws provided.
Installing Slot Blockers
The cooling performance of the chassis can be improved by installing
optional slot blockers. Refer to
Chapter 2Installation and Configuration
ni.com for more details.

Note You may want to remove the feet from the NI PXIe-1075 chassis when rack
mounting. To do so, remove the screws holding the feet in place.
Connecting Safety Ground
Caution The NI PXIe-1075 chassis are designed with a three-position NEMA 5-15 style
plug for the U.S. that connects the ground line to the chassis ground. To minimize shock
hazard, make sure the electrical power outlet you use to power the chassis has an
appropriate earth safety ground.
If your power outlet does not have an appropriate ground connection, you
must connect the premise safety ground to the chassis grounding screw
located on the rear panel. Refer to Figure 1-2, Rear View of the
NI PXIe-1075 Chassis, to locate 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 grounding lug. The wire must have green insulation with a
yellow stripe or must be noninsulated (bare).
2.Attach the opposite end of the wire to permanent earth ground using
toothed washers or a toothed lug.
Connecting to Power Source
Caution Do not install modules prior to performing the following power-on test.
To completely remove power, you must disconnect the AC power cable.

Figure 1-1, Front View of the NI PXIe-1075 Chassis, for the location of
both the Power Inhibit switch and the LED. This LED indicates one of four
different conditions:
•If the inhibit switch LED is steady green (not flashing), the chassis is
powered on and operating normally.
•If the inhibit switch LED is flashing green, the air-intake temperature
has exceeded the chassis operating range.
•If the inhibit switch LED is flashing red, the power supply outputs are
not within voltage regulation requirements.
•If the inhibit switch LED is steady red, the system fans or power supply
fan has failed. The remaining fans will automatically be driven high.
NI PXIe-1075 User Manual2-10ni.com
Chapter 2Installation and Configuration
Note If two system fans or both of the power supply fans fail the chassis will shut down
automatically, preventing the chassis and modules from damage due to overheating.
Remote Voltage Monitoring and Control
The NI PXIe-1075 chassis supports remote voltage monitoring and
inhibiting through a female 9-pin D-SUB (DB-9) connector located on

If the voltages fall within the specified ranges, the chassis complies with the
CompactPCI voltage-limit specifications.
Inhibit Mode Switch
On the rear panel of the chassis there is an Inhibit Mode switch. Refer to
Figure 1-2, Rear View of the NI PXIe-1075 Chassis, for the location. The
Inhibit Mode switch is recessed to prevent it from accidentally being
switched.
The Inhibit Mode switch should be in the Default position when you want
the system controller to control the power supply inhibit. If the user needs
to power on a chassis without a system controller installed the switch
should be in the Manual position.
When the Inhibit Mode switch is set to the Manual position, the power
supplies are enabled, and you can use the Inhibit signal (active low) on
pin 5 of the Remote Inhibit and Voltage Monitoring connector to power off
the chassis. To remotely power off the chassis, connect the Inhibit pin
NI PXIe-1075 User Manual2-12ni.com
Chapter 2Installation and Configuration
(pin 5) to a Logic Ground pin (pin 1 or 9). As long as this connection exists,
the chassis will remain off (standby); when you remove this connection, the
chassis turns on.
Note For the Remote Inhibit signal to control the On/Off (standby) state of the chassis, the
Inhibit Mode switch must be in the Manual position.
PXI_CLK10 Rear Connectors
There are two BNC connectors on the rear of the NI PXIe-1075 chassis for
PXI_CLK10, as shown in Figure 1-2, Rear View of the NI PXIe-1075
Chassis. The connectors are labeled IN and OUT. You can use them for
supplying the backplane with PXI_CLK10 or routing the backplane’s
PXI_CLK10 to another chassis. Refer to the System Reference Clock
section of Chapter 1, Getting Started, for details about these signals.
PXI Express System Configuration with MAX
The PXI Platform Services software included with your chassis
automatically identifies your PXI Express system components to generate
a
pxiesys.ini file. You can configure your entire PXI system and
identify PXI-1 chassis through Measurement & Automation Explorer
(MAX), included with your system controller. MAX creates the
pxiesys.ini and pxisys.ini files, which define your PXI system
parameters. MAX also provides an interface to route and reserve triggers
so dynamic routing, through drivers such as DAQmx, avoids
double-driving and potentially damaging trigger lines. For more
information about routing and reserving PXI triggers, refer to
KnowledgeBase 3TJDOND8 at
ni.com/support.
The configuration steps for single or multiple-chassis systems are the same.
2.In the Configuration tree, click the Devices and Interfaces branch to
expand it.
3.If the PXI system controller has not yet been configured, it is labeled
PXI System (Unidentified). Right-click this entry to display the
pop-up menu, then select the appropriate system controller model from
the Identify As submenu.
NI PXIe-1075 User Manual2-14ni.com
Chapter 2Installation and Configuration
4.Click the PXI system controller. The chassis (or multiple chassis, in a
multichassis configuration) is listed below it. Identify each chassis by
right-clicking its entry, then selecting the appropriate chassis model
through the Identify As submenu. Further expanding the PXI System
branch shows all devices in the system that can be recognized by
NI-VISA. When your system controller and all your chassis are
identified, the required
pxisys.ini or pxiesys.ini file is
complete.
The PXI specification allows for many combinations of PXI chassis and
system modules. To assist system integrators, the manufacturers of
PXI chassis and system modules must document the capabilities of their
products. PXI Express devices must provide a driver and
.ini file for
identification. These files are provided as part of the PXI Platform Services
software included with your system controller. The minimum
documentation requirements for PXI-1 are contained in
.ini files, which
consist of ASCII text. System integrators, configuration utilities, and
device drivers can use these
.ini files.
The capability documentation for a PXI-1 chassis is contained in a
chassis.ini file provided by the chassis manufacturer. The information
in this file is combined with information about the system controller to
create a single PXI-1 system initialization file called
pxisys.ini
(PXI System Initialization). The NI system controller uses MAX to
generate the
pxisys.ini file from the chassis.ini file.
Device drivers and other utility software read the
pxisys.ini file to obtain system information. For detailed information
about initialization files, refer to the PXI specification at
pxiesys.ini and
www.pxisa.org.
Trigger Configuration in MAX
Each chassis has one or more trigger buses, each with eight lines
numbered 0 through 7 that can be reserved and routed statically or
dynamically. Static reservation pre-allocates a trigger line to prevent its
configuration by a user program. Dynamic reservation/routing/deallocation
is on the fly within a user program based upon National Instruments APIs
such as NI-DAQmx. Static reservation of trigger lines can be implemented
by the user in MAX through the Triggers tab. Reserved trigger lines will
not be used by PXI modules dynamically configured by programs such as
NI-DAQmx. This prevents the instruments from double-driving the trigger
lines, possibly damaging devices in the chassis. In the default
configuration, trigger lines on each bus are independent. For example, if
trigger line 3 is asserted on trigger bus 0, by default it will not be
automatically asserted on any other trigger bus.
Complete the following steps to reserve these trigger lines in MAX.
1.In the Configuration tree, click on the PXI chassis branch you want to
configure.
2.Then, in the right-hand pane, toward the bottom, click on the
Triggers tab.
3.Select which trigger lines you would like to statically reserve.
4.Click the Apply button.
PXI Trigger Bus Routing
Some National Instruments chassis, such as the PXI-1075 and the
PXI-1044/1045, have the capability to route triggers from one bus to others
within the same chassis using the Trigger Routing tab in MAX, as shown
in Figure 2-6.
Note Selecting any non-disabled routing automatically reserves the line in all trigger
buses being routed to. If you are using NI-DAQmx, it will reserve and route trigger lines
for you, so you won’t have to route trigger lines manually.
Complete the following steps to configure trigger routings in MAX.
1.In the Configuration tree, select the chassis in which you want to
route trigger lines.
2.In the right-hand pane, select the Trigger Routing tab near the bottom.
3.For each trigger line, select Route Right, Route Outward From Middle, or Route Left to route triggers on that line in the described
direction, or select Disabled for the default behavior with no manual
routing.
4.Click the Apply button.
Using System Configuration and Initialization Files
The PXI Express specification allows many combinations of PXI Express
chassis and system modules. To assist system integrators, the
manufacturers of PXI Express chassis and system modules must document
the capabilities of their products. The minimum documentation
requirements are contained in
System integrators, configuration utilities, and device drivers can use these
.ini files.
NI PXIe-1075 User Manual2-16ni.com
.ini files, which consist of ASCII text.
Chapter 2Installation and Configuration
The capability documentation for the NI PXIe-1075 chassis is contained in
the
chassis.ini file on the software media that comes with the chassis.
The information in this file is combined with information about the system
controller to create a single system initialization file called
pxisys.ini
(PXI System Initialization). The system controller manufacturer either
provides a
pxisys.ini file for the particular chassis model that contains
the system controller or provides a utility that can read an arbitrary
chassis.ini file and generate the corresponding pxisys.ini file.
System controllers from NI provide the
NI PXIe-1075 chassis, so you should not need to use the
pxisys.ini file for the
chassis.ini
file. Refer to the documentation provided with the system controller or to
ni.com/support for more information on pxisys.ini and
chassis.ini files.
Device drivers and other utility software read the
pxisys.ini file to
obtain system information. The device drivers should have no need to
directly read the
chassis.ini file. For detailed information regarding
initialization files, refer to the PXI Express specification at
This chapter describes basic maintenance procedures you can perform on
the NI PXIe-1075 chassis.
Caution Disconnect the power cable prior to servicing a NI PXIe-1075 chassis.
Service Interval
Clean the chassis fan filters at a maximum interval of six months.

System controllerA module configured for installation in Slot 1of a PXI chassis. This device
is unique in the PXI system in that it performs the system controller
functions, including clock sourcing and arbitration for data transfers across
the backplane. Installing such a device into any other slot can damage the
device, the PXI backplane, or both.
System Timing slotThis slot is located at slot 4 and has dedicated trigger lines to other slots.
A 10 MHz clock, also called PXI_CLK10, that is distributed to all
peripheral slots in the chassis, as well as a BNC connector on the rear of
chassis labeled 10 MHz REF OUT. The system reference clock can be used
for synchronization of multiple modules in a measurement or control
system. The 10 MHz REF IN and OUT BNC connectors on the rear of the
chassis can be used to synchronize multiple chassis to one reference clock.
