INTRODUCTION
Backplane overview
Interoperability with CompactPCI
PXI 3005 is compatible for use with both PXI-compatible products and standard CompactPCI
products, with PXI Specification Rev. 2.2-compliant backplanes.
Signals on the P1 connector of the backplane meet the requirements of the CompactPCI
specification for both peripheral and system modules.
The PXI-specific signals are located on P2. Only the signals reserved or not used in the
CompactPCI 64-bit specification are found on PXI-specific signals. Therefore, peripheral modules
that meet the requirements of the CompactPCI 64-bit specification will function in the PXI 3005.
Note: do not install compactPCI peripheral modules that operate with rear I/O modules in the
PXI 3005: this can lead to possible conflict between rear I/O signals and PXI-specific signals on J2.
System controller slot
The System Controller slot is slot 1, as defined by the PXI specification. The PXI 3005 chassis can
accommodate a PXI system controller occupying up to three slots. As defined in the PXI
specification, two controller expansion slots allow the controller to expand to the left to avoid
occupying peripheral slots.
Star trigger slot
The Star Trigger (ST) slot is slot 2. This slot has dedicated trigger lines between the ST slot itself
and slots 3–15. The star trigger functionality provides a precise trigger signal to the peripheral
modules by installing a specific star-trigger controller module in the ST slot. The star trigger slot can
be also used as a general peripheral slot if star trigger functionality is not required.
Peripheral slots
The PXI 3005 provides 18 peripheral slots (including the Star Trigger controller slot). Each
peripheral slot can accommodate a 3U PXI/CompactPCI peripheral module.
DO NOT install a 3U CompactPCI module with rear I/O function into the PXI 3005 chassis. System
damage may result.
29
INTRODUCTION
Fig. 8 Instrument signal routing
Local bus
The local bus on a PXI backplane is a daisy-chained bus that connects each peripheral slot with
adjacent peripheral slots to the left and right. Each local bus has 13 lines and can transmit analog
or digital signals between modules. It can also provide a high-speed sideband communication path
that does not affect the PCI bandwidth.
In accordance with the PXI specification, the local bus connects all adjacent slots except slots 1 and
2.
Trigger bus
The trigger bus is an eight-line bus that connects all PXI slots in the same PCI segment. The trigger
bus can be used to provide inter-module synchronization. PXI modules can transmit trigger or clock
signals to one another through the trigger bus, allowing precisely timed responses to asynchronous
external events that the system is monitoring or controlling.
The PXI 3005 provides three trigger bus segments, connected by two trigger bus buffers. The first
segment is from slot 1 to slot 6, the second from slot 7 to slot 12, and the last from slot 13 to slot 19.
Switch SWY1 shown is the on-board switch, controlling the configuration of these two buffers.

System reference clock
The PXI 3005 supplies a PXI 10 MHz system reference clock (PXI_CLK10) to each peripheral slot
for inter-module synchronization. An independent buffer (having source impedance matched to the
backplane and a skew of less than 1 ns between slots) drives the clock signal generated from a
high-precision oscillator to each peripheral slot.
This common reference clock signal can synchronize multiple modules in a PXI chassis. The
10 MHz reference clock is important to the PXI specification for inter-module synchronization. PXI
modules that have phase-locked loop circuits can lock the 10 MHz reference clock to generate an
in-phase timebase.
The PXI 3005 PXI chassis automatically selects the source of the 10 MHz reference clock from:
•
Built-in accurate 10 MHz oscillator
•
External 10 MHz clock through a BNC connector
•
PXI_CLK10_IN pin on the star trigger slot
Priority of the 10 MHz reference clock is as shown.

Cooling considerations
The PXI 3005 features an innovative design for heat dissipation, with cooling fans in the rear
section of the chassis, drawing cool air through apertures on the bottom for exhaust through the
back. This design provides uniform airflow for each PXI slot and exceptional cooling capability.
When the chassis is installed in a rack, the cooling design minimizes the drawing of hot air from the
rear area, where other devices exhaust, while maintaining a steady temperature inside the chassis.
For optimal cooling efficiency, retain the support feet.
When rack mounting the PXI 3005, allow at least 1U (44.5 mm/1.75 in) clearance below the intake
apertures. Keep other objects or equipment a minimum of 76.2 mm (3 in) away from the outlet
apertures in the rear region of the chassis.
Note: to maintain the required airflow, always install filler panels in unused slots. The filler panels
are supplied in the chassis package.
33

System management
The PXI 3005 provides advanced remote monitoring and control of chassis status, including internal
temperature, fan speed, and DC voltages, all exported via a standard RS-232 port, allowing the
system to be monitored on a remote computer. The remote computer can also be used to turn the
system on or off through the monitoring port via software commands.
Remote monitoring and control of the PXI 3005 requires connection of the remote monitoring port to
a remote computer by a standard RS-232 cable.
Note: the remote monitor port is Rx-Tx/Tx-Rx crossed, requiring an Rx-Rx/Tx-Tx-connected

Appendix A — troubleshooting and maintenance
This appendix describes basic troubleshooting techniques, as well as instructions for the
maintenance of the PXI 3005 chassis.
Installation problems
An inability to start the system results frequently from incorrect installation of the system controller,
peripheral modules, and other components. Before starting the system, ensure that:
•
The system controller is properly installed and secured
•
All peripheral modules are properly seated in the slots
•
All cables are properly connected to the system controller and peripheral modules
•
All installed peripheral modules are compatible for use in the chassis
•
The power cord is securely plugged into the chassis power connector and power outlet/wall
socket/power strip.
If the system fails to start when all installation conditions are met, remove all installed peripheral
modules and try again. If the system starts normally, install one peripheral module at a time
followed by powering up. You may also try installing the modules into different slots until the desired
result is obtained.
Basic troubleshooting
Table 11 Troubleshooting checks
Problem
Check that:
System fails to power up
the power cord is securely plugged into the chassis power connector and
wall socket/power strip;
the wall socket/power strip is live;
the main power switch on the back of the chassis is turned on;
the standby power button on the chassis front panel is turned on.
No video output in the
external display
the external display is functioning properly;
Power LED (blue) is
blinking
there is no short circuit, by removing all PXI modules (PXI controller and
peripheral modules). If the signal persists, contact your dealer for further
assistance.
Fan LED (green) is blinking
the fan is unobstructed.
Temperature LED (amber)
is blinking
airflow from the outlet apertures is unobstructed and steady; if not, ensure
that adequate clearance for the intake apertures is provided. If the
temperature of exhausted air is normal (below 50°C) but the temperature
LED is still blinking, contact your dealer for further assistance.
display settings support external video.
If the signal persists, contact your dealer for further assistance.
A-1
TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Maintenance
Cooling
Three cooling fans at the rear of the chassis expel air that is drawn across the installed modules
from inlets on the underside and at the sides of the chassis. To maintain correct cooling, ensure
that these inlets and outlets are unobstructed during operation. There are no user-accessible fan
filters.
Handling the chassis
The PXI 3005 is designed for both rack-mount and benchtop use. When transporting or carrying the
chassis, it is recommended that the handle be used, being designed to support the weight of the
chassis for superior portability and balance.
The PXI 3005 weighs 14.5 kg, unpopulated. Be careful when moving the chassis to avoid any
possible injury.
Cleaning the exterior
Make sure that the system is turned off before cleaning the chassis exterior. Wipe the exterior with
a clean cloth, starting from areas that easily accumulate dust or dirt such as the area in and around
the chassis and power supply air inlet apertures.
Power requirements
Make sure that the power cord is in good condition before plugging it into the system. It is important
to check the reliability of the power source. The PXI 3005 power supply is capable of handling 100
to 240 V AC within the 50 Hz to 60 Hz range. Do not connect the PXI 3005 to an already
overloaded circuit.
