Product Overview:
The M9505A AXIe chassis is fully compatible with the AXIe 1.0 specification. It includes an Embedded System Module (ESM) that does not occupy instrument slots. This system module performs the chassis management functions contained in the AXIe specification. In addition, it provides PCI and LAN interfaces for connecting external computers, external clock and trigger connectors, and Keysight's unique inter-case synchronization connector. The local bus implemented in the M9505A provides the maximum 62 pairs allowed by the AXIe specification. The M9505A is combined with the M9048A PCIe desktop adapter to achieve the highest system bandwidth.
The instrument module slots are arranged horizontally to minimize rack space. This arrangement, combined with a high-performance cooling system, allows the chassis to fit in only 4U of rack space. The M9505A is also designed to be easy to maintain, as both the power and fan brackets can be removed while the case is left in the rack.
