Introduction 1
PXES-2301
1 Introduction
The ADLINK PXES-2301 compact 6-slot PXI Express chassis,
compliant with PXI Express and cPCI Express specifications, pro-
vides one system slot with three expansion slots and five hybrid
peripheral slots, supporting a wide variety of enhanced-bandwidth
testing and measurement applications. The hybrid-slot design
accepts installation of Compact PCI, hybrid slot-compatible PXI-1
peripheral module, Compact PCI Express, and PXI Express mod-
ules in any peripheral slot for maximum flexibility. Built on a four-
link PXI Express chassis with 8GB/s system bandwidth, the
PXES-2301's peripheral slots are all connected with PCIe x4
Gen2, with slot bandwidth up to 2GB/s.
The PXES-2301 implements ADLINK’s ChassisWatchTM smart
system monitoring control utility, reporting full chassis status
including fan speed, system voltages, and internal temperature.
Compact, rugged, half-rack size with efficient construction
uniquely suits the PXES- 2301 for portable use with minimized
space requirements. An industrial grade AC power supply delivers
320W performance under 50°C, with superior cooling capability.
All in all, the PXES-2301 is an ideal PXI Express platform choice
for practically any testing and measurement operation.
1.1 Features
Compact construction with side carrying handle for portable
application in a wide variety of testing environments
Replaceable modular cooling fan reduces maintenance
requirements
High per-slot cooling capacity up to 38W
ADLINK’s ChassisWatchTM intelligent chassis management
utility with automatic fan speed control and temperature/
power status monitoring
System bandwidth up to 8GB/s (4 links, PCIe x4 Gen2) &
peripheral bandwidth up to 2GB/s (PCIe x4 Gen2) for all
slots
Net weight (without accessories): 5.85 kg (13.1 lb)
Fan noise 35.3dBA at ambient 25°C (w/ no peripheral slot
occupied)
