Introduction ●1
1
Introduction
ADLINK PXIS-2700 is an 18-slot PXI/CompactPCI chassis providing 17
PXI peripheral expansion slots and one system slot with two PXI-to-PXI
bridges. The chassis incorporates all features defined by the PXI and
CompactPCI specifications. Both PXI and CompactPCI modules can be
used in the chassis. An internal 10MHz reference clock is available on all
17 PXI slots. The PXI trigger bus is divided into three segments. The star
trigger signals are available from 3rd to 15th slots.
The PXIS-2700 is equipped with 460W + 460W redundant power units to
provide reliable and easy to maintain power to the system. The status of
system power supply, temperature, and cooling fans are monitored by the
alarm module assembled in the chassis. Once a failure is detected, a LED
and buzzer will be actuated. The failure fans can be removed from the
front panel and hot swappable, which can effectively reduce MTTR
(Mean-Time-To-Repair).
The PXI-3710 (3-slot version, without floppy disk drive) and PXI-3710F (4-
slot version, with floppy disk drive) are designed to fit in the PXIS-2700
chassis. With all the powerful and convenient design, the PXIS-2700 is
ideal for high performance applications and a large number of I/O
modules.

4 ●Introduction
1.3 OEM options
The standard PXIS-2700 chassis includes backplanes and a power supply
unit in addition to the enclosure metal parts. The following sections depict
the standard parts used in the PXIS-2700.
1.3.1 Backplane
PXIS-2700 equipped with cBX-3018L, 18-slot PXI backplane. Please refer
to Appendix B for more technical information of the backplane.
Besides the standard backplanes, we provide more options for OEM
customers, as long as the request backplane is PXI or 3U CompactPCI
form factor compliant with 21-slot width limitation.
For example, application may require 32-bit only, rear I/O, or may need to
use custom power supply connector and additional custom features on
the backplane. ADLINK provides custom design and manufacturing
services. Please contact us for more details.
1.3.2 Chassis Color and Logo
The standard color of PXI-2700 is beige. ADLINK provides custom
chassis color or paint specific logo for OEM, with minimum order
requirement. Please contact us for more details.

Installation
2.1 Power Budget Consideration
Prior to installing any cards into the PXIS-2700 chassis, please calculate
the system power requirement. The power budget for every DC power
sources shall also be checked, including +5V, +3.3V, +12V, -12V supply
rail. Please refer to Appendix A for the maximum usable power.
2.2 Step for Installation
Follow the step to power on the chassis.
Step 1: Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position.
Step 2: Plug in the AC power cord in each power supply unit.
Step 3: Install the controller. Please check the ejector/injector handle is
pushed down. Align the controller edge to the “RED” card guide,
sliding in to the rear of the chassis. Push up on the
ejector/injector handle to fully inject the card into the chassis.
Secure the screws on the module’s front panel.
Step 4: Install peripheral modules if any.
Step 5: Press the power switch on the front panel to power on the
chassis.
Step 6: Check the LED to make sure the power input is ready. There
are four green LED indicators of 3.3V, 5V, +12V, and -12V. The
four LED will light when power turn on. The fans should
become operational as well.
Note: If the chassis does not power on, see Chapter 4, troubleshooting and
Preventative Maintenance.

2.3 System Monitoring
There are LEDs on the front panel for system monitoring, including
powers, temperature, and fans. Please refer to following for the detailed
meaning of display status on LEDs.
System Monitoring
Power LED (Voltage : 3.3V, 5V, +12V, -12V)
oColor: Green

oFlashes if alarm occurs
The Alarm Buzzer beeps continuously if any alarm occurs. When the
Alarm Buzzer beeps, users can check the LED on the front panel to find
out which kind of alarm occurs.
There is a black button labeled Alarm RST near by the Alarm LED on the
front panel. When the Alarm LED flashes and the Alarm Buzzer continues
beeping, you can push Alarm RST button to stop beeping.
Users can further refer to Chapter 4 for Troubleshooting.
There is one Green LED on each power supply unit in the rear and the red
button between the power supply units is power RST. When the alarm
buzzer beeps and the power LED extinguishes, you can push power RST
button to stop beeping and refer to Chapter 4.5 to hot-swap the power
supply unit..

2.4 Grounding on the Mounting Holes
There are two kinds of grounding for the mounting holes of the backplane.
The mounting holes labeled as “GND” with “circle soldering mask” are
connected to the logic ground plane of the backplane. The mounting holes
labeled as “FGND” with “square soldering mask” are not connected to the
ground plane therefore it provides the isolation between the logic ground
and the chassis ground.
The backplane is mounted on the PXIS-2700 through all mounting holes
by default, therefore the chassis ground is short to the logic ground. For
applications that require isolation between the logic ground and the
chassis ground, users can remove the screws on the GND mounting
holes.

Backplane Overview •9
3
Backplane Overview
3.1 CompactPCI Compatibility
The PXIS-2700 backplane cBX-3018L is compatible with PXI-compatible
products and standard CompactPCI products.
The signals on the P1 connector of the backplane meet the requirements
of the CompactPCI specification for both the peripheral and system
modules.
The PXI-specific signals are located on P2. Only the signals that are
reserved or not used in the CompactPCI 64-bit specification are found on
PXI-specific signals. Therefore, all modules that meet the requirements of
the CompactPCI 64-bit specification will function in the PXIS-2700.
3.2 System Controller Slot
The System Controller slot is Slot 1 of the chassis as defined by the PXI
specification. It has three controller expansion slots, which are used for
system controller modules that are wider than one slot. As defined in the
PXI specification, these slots allow the controller to expand to the left to
prevent the controller from using up peripheral slots.
3.3 Star Trigger Slot
The Star Trigger (ST) slot is Slot 2. This slot has a dedicated trigger line
between itself and slots 3-15 is intended for modules with ST functionality
that can provide individual triggers to the peripherals.
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

10 ●Backplane Overview
3.4 Peripheral Slots
There are 17 peripheral slots including the Star Trigger controller slot.
3.5 Local Bus
The local bus of PXI backplane cBX-3018L is a daisy-chained bus that
connects each peripheral slot with its adjacent peripheral slots to the left
and right. Each local bus is 13 lines wide and can pass analog signals
between modules or provide a high-speed side-band communication path
that does not affect the PXI bandwidth.
In accordance with the PXI specification, the local bus connections
between all slots except slots 1 and 2.
3.6 Trigger Bus
ADLINK PXIS-2700 has three PXI separate trigger bus segments. The
PXI trigger bus is divided into three separate trigger bus at these locations.
The trigger bus divisions represented by vertical bars on the front of the
chassis. You can use triggers to synchronize the operation of several
different PXI peripheral modules, or use one module to control carefully
timed sequences of operations performed on other modules in the system.
Modules can pass triggers to one another through trigger bus, allowing
precisely timed responses to asynchronous external events the system is
monitoring or controlling.

12 ●Backplane Overview
3.7 System Reference Clock
The PXIS-2700 supplies the PXI 10MHz system clock signal (PXI_CLK10)
independently to every peripheral slot. An independent buffer (having a
source impedance matched to the backplane and a skew of less than 1ns
between slots) drives the clock signal to each peripheral slot. Users can
use this common reference clock signal to synchronize multiple modules
in a measurement or control system or drive PXI_CLK10 from an external
source through the PXI_CLK10_IN pin on the P2 connector of the star
trigger slot.
Select the internal or external clock by setting the jumper JP1 in the back
of the backplane.
