The Chassis’Cooling Fans are controlled through two temperature sensors. One sensor is located left next to the
System Controller Slot. The other temperature sensor is located right next to the System Controller Slot. If there
is a difference between the measured temperatures of one of each temperature sensors, the Fan controller
adjust the rotation speed of the fans according to the higher measured temperature value. The Fans are running
at lowest speed at a temperature of 24 °C or less. If the temperature reaches 52 °C or more the fans are running
at highest rotation speed.
Figure 2-3 shows the fan control curve

System Controller Slot
The System Controller slot is Slot 1of the chassis and is a 4-Link configuration system slot as defined in
CompactPCI Express and PXI Express Specification.
The backplane connects the system slot using three times PCIe X4 to the peripheral slots. One PCIe link of the
system slot connects to a PCIe Switch using PCIe Gen 2 X1. This switch distributes PCIe Gen2 X1 connection to
one fully PXIe Hybrid Slot, one PXIe Peripheral Slot and a PCIe to PCI Bridge. The PCIe to PCI bridge provides
PCI connection to the PXIe hybrid slots.
The PXIe hybrid slots 3-6 are connected to the PCI Bus. The PCIe- to PCI bridge provides a 32-bit, 33Mhz PCI
Bus.
The system controller slot has also connectivity to PXI_CLK10, PXI Trigger Bus and PXI Local Bus 6.
The mechanical momentary switch at the front panel transitions the PWRBTN# from open-circuit to GND to open
circuit. The system board uses this ON/OFF state to control the PS_ON# signal. The PS_ON# signal turns on the
chassis’ main power supply.
Alternatively, the chassis can be turned on without the momentary switch on the front panel. Therefore the auto
mode of the chassis has to be turned on. The auto mode can be turned on by changing the DIP-Switch’s position
1, on the chassis’ rear panel, into the ON-state.
PXIe Peripheral Slot
The chassis provides one PXIe peripheral slot 2. The peripheral slot is fully compliant with the PXI-5 PXI Express
Hardware Specification. The backplane connects the PCIe Switch using PCIE Gen2 X1 to the PXIe peripheral
slot. The PXI Express peripheral slot can accept the following modules:
-A PXI Express peripheral module.
-A PXI Express hybrid peripheral module.
-A CompactPCI Express Type-2 Peripheral module.
-A CompactPCI 32-bit peripheral with +3.3 V or +5 V V(I/O).
Hybrid Peripheral Slots
The PXCe4006 provides 4 PXIe hybrid peripheral slots that are fully compliant with the PXI-5 PXI Express
Hardware Specification. The PXI Express hybrid peripheral slots can accept the following modules:
-A PXI Express peripheral module.
-A CompactPCI Express Type-2 Peripheral module.
-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 PXI Express specification for details. The
PXI peripheral communicates through the backplane’s 32-bit PCI bus.

www.hartmann-electronic.com Rev. 1.2 13
PCI Express Backplane Diagram
Figure 2-4 shows the PXCe4006 series backplane’s PCIe interface.
Slot 3, 4 and 6 are connected with the system slot using PCIe X4. These slots have up to 2 GB/s (single
direction) dedicated bandwidth (X4 Gen-2 PCI Express).
Slots 2 and 5 are connected with the system slot using PCIe X1. These slots have up to 500MB/s (single
direction) dedicated bandwidth (X1 Gen-2 PCI Express).
PXI Local Bus
The PXIe backplane local bus is a daisy-chained bus, that connects each peripheral slot with adjacent peripheral
slots to the left and right.
The backplane routes PXI Local Bus 6 between all slots. The left Local Bus 6 from Slot 1 is not routed anywhere
and the right local bus signal from slot 6 is not routed anywhere.
Local bus signals may range from high-speed TTL signals to analog signals as high as 42 V.

www.hartmann-electronic.com Rev. 1.2 14
PXI Trigger Bus
All slots share eight trigger lines.
Figure 2-5 shows the PXCe4006 series backplane’s Trigger interface.
System Reference Clock
The PXCe4006 Chassis chassis supplies PXI_CLK10, PXIE_CLK100, and PXIE_SYNC100 independently driven
to each slot.
PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100 and PXIe_SYNC100 have the default timing relationship according to PXI-5 PXI
Express Hardware Specification.
The timing relations are as shown in Figure 2-6.
The PXCe4006 Series Chassis provides an external 10 MHz, PXI_CLK10 SMB Clock input. If a Clock signal is
detected on the rear panel SMB connector, the backplane automatically phase-locks the PXI_CLK10,
PXIE_CLK100, and PXIE_SYNC100 signal to this external clock input and distributes the clocks to all slots.
Additionally a 10 MHz clock is distributed through the backplane to an external SMB Connector (10 MHz Clock
Out).
The backplane allows the 10 MHz reference clock to be derived from an external SMB clock input or an internal
clock oscillator.
Figure 2-7 shows the Clock architecture of the PXCe4006 Series Chassis.

www.hartmann-electronic.com Rev. 1.2 15
The PLL is connected to the SMB 10 MHz input clock if the input clock is present. The presence of the input clock
is automatically detected. If there is no input clock present, the clock source to the PLL is a 10 MHz Clock
oscillator.
Each of the clocks PXI_CLK10, PXIE_CLK100, and PXIE_SYNC100 are driven with an independent buffers.

3. Installation
Connecting Chassis Grounding
The system contains gaskets at the chassis and board level to guard against electromagnetic
interference (EMI). Each of the chassis’ individual components makes contact with the gaskets and to the
PE-stud on the rear panel.
The card guides are outfitted with electrostatic discharge (ESD) contacts on each rail. These ESD
contacts ensure that the boards are fully discharged as they are plugged into the chassis in order to
prevent static build-up.
Caution!
The chassis is designed in accordance with protection class1l! lt must therefore
be operated with protective earth/GND connection. Use only a three conductor
AC power cable with a protective earth conductor that meets the IEC safety
standards!
There is a 4 mm stud on the rear panel. This stud is only for potential equalization. Proper grounding is
achieved through the protective earth conductor of the power cable!
Inspecting the Chassis Components
During the course of handling, shipping, and assembly, pins, shrouds, mounting screws, fans and other
items can become damaged and/or loose.
WARNING: Before utilizing the chassis, perform a thorough inspection to ensure the
chassis and its components are not damaged.
•To inspect the chassis:
1. Visually inspect the chassis to ensure that all of the connector pins are straight, screws are tight, and
so on.
2. Check to ensure none of the EMI gaskets is damaged.
Protection Against Electromagnetic Interference
The chassis contains gaskets at the shelf and board level to guard against electromagnetic interference
(EMI). Ensure that the chassis is grounded and that each of the chassis individual components make
contact with the gaskets.
Follow the proper grounding and ESD handling procedures.
