INSTALLATION GUIDE
8-Slot PXI Backplane
This guide describes installation requirements for the 8-slot PXI backplane,
shown in Figure 1.

8-Slot PXI Backplane Installation Guide 2 ni.com
Description
The 8-slot PXI backplane contains one PXI controller slot and 7 PXI
peripheral slots. It does not include a power supply or cooling solution. You
must implement these features when installing the backplane into your
system.
Mechanical Requirements
Mounting
Figure 2 shows the backplane dimensions. There are 22 holes available for
mounting with M2.5 hardware.
The use of all mounting holes is recommended for proper backplane
support.
There are two mounting holes on top of the 8-slot PXI backplane that have
plated annular pads on the front and back of the backplane. These mounting
holes may be used to connect the backplane ground to the chassis in which
the backplane is mounted. If you do not desire to connect backplane ground
to the chassis, use insulated washers at these mounting holes. Refer to
Figure 4 for the position of the mounting holes.
Cooling
Note National Instruments is not responsible for damage to the backplane if inadequate
cooling is used.
You should mount a fan below the backplane. Airflow should be from the
bottom to the top of the PXI modules. You must determine the airflow
requirements for your system based on the PXI Hardware Specification.
Handling
Cautions Be careful to avoid bending or otherwise damaging the pins on the backplane
connectors. Bent pins may cause functional failures or damage when the backplane is
powered.
To protect both yourself and the backplane from electrical hazards, leave the chassis
powered off until you finish installing the PXI controller and modules.

Caution Electrostatic discharge can damage your equipment. To avoid such damage,
discharge the static built up on your body by touching a grounded metal object before
handling the PXI equipment. Then touch the antistatic plastic package containing the
backplane to a metal part of your PXI chassis before removing the backplane from the
packaging.

Electrical Requirements
PXI Connectors
The PXI connectors (J11-J18, J2-J9) have pin descriptions defined in the
PXI hardware Specification. The connectors are shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. PXI Connectors
System Reference Clock
The 8-Slot Backplane supplies the PXI 10 MHz system clock signal
(PXI_CLK10) independently to each peripheral slot. An independent
buffer (having a source impedance matched to the backplane and a skew of
less than 250 ps between slots) drives the clock signal to each peripheral
slot. You can use this common reference clock signal to synchronize
multiple modules in a measurement or control system. You can drive
PXI_CLK10 from an external source through the PXI_CLK10_IN pin
on the P2 connector of the Star Trigger Slot or 10 MHz IN pin on the J1
connector. Refer to the PXI Specification for the Pinout for the Star Trigger
Slot. Sourcing an external clock on either of these pins automatically
replaces the backplane’s 10 MHz source.

Power
Please refer to the PXI Hardware Specification for power requirements and
to the specifications of the chosen power supply to determine the minimum
load required.
Connector J20
Connector J20 is the power supply connector for the 8-slot backplane. The
location of the J20 connector is shown in Figure 4. Refer to Table 1 for the
pin descriptions. The mating connector for J20 is manufactured by Tyco
Electronics, and can be ordered with the part number 1648115-1.
Note The system slot (slot 1) receives +12 V power from pin 17 of J20. If this pin is not
connected to +12 V the system controller will not function properly.

Connector J1
Connector J1 is for interfacing with the backplane’s PXI_CLK10 circuitry.
The location of the J1 connector is shown in Figure 4. The mating
connector for J1 is manufactured by Positronic and can be ordered with the
part number CBD7W2M2000Z-759.1.
