The PXES-2780 provides a configurable PCIe switch fabric and is PXES-2780 Rack-mount Kit configurable in two-link, and four-link PXI express deployments, Flexible rack-mount kit for PXES-2780 with 8 GB/s system bandwidth and up to 4 GB/s slot bandwidth for dedicated peripheral slots, thanks to PCIe gen2 signaling technology. Recommended System Controller The PXES-2780 implements a smart system monitoring controller, reporting full chassis status, including fan speed, system voltages, PXES-2780 and internal temperature. PXIe-3975/3985 Equipped with an industrial grade AC power supply, the PXES-2780 provides 800 W under 55C, and superior cooling capacity, from three 120 mm fans on the rear of the chassis, and two BNC connectors for 10 MHz clock input/output on the rear panel increase chassis flexibility, enabling synchronization with supplementar y devices. All in all, PXES-2780 is a superior PXI Express platform choice for testing and measurement requirements.Highlights Configurable PCIe Switch Fabric The PXES-2780 provides a configurable PCIe switch fabric and is configurable in two-link x8, and four-link x4 PXI express deployments, allowing users to fully utilize the PCIe gen2 bandwidth for high-bandwidth applications. Hybrid Peripheral Slot Design The ADLINK PXES-2780 features 10 hybrid peripheral slots, with PXI E xpress, cPCI E xpress, PXI, and CompactPCI modules compatible with every hybrid slot. 4 Links x4 or Configurable PCIe Switch Fabric 2 Links x8 PCIe/PCI PCIe/PCI Bridge Bridge Intelligent Chassis Management The PXES-2780s built-in system monitoring controller monitors and manages full chassis status, including internal temperature, fan speed, and DC voltages, with monitored data accessible with the embedded controller or remote PC via standard RS-232 connector. Innovative Cooling The ADLINK PXES-2780 features an innovative heat dissipation solution, with three 185.9CFM cooling fans in the rear section of the chassis drawing cool air through lower apertures, then exhausting through the back. This design normalizes airflow for each PXI slot, delivering exceptional cooling. When installed in a rack, the cooling design minimizes intake of hot air from the rear side, separating airflow for modules and power supplies, while isolating source (fan) noise from modules and maintaining a steady internal temperature. Notes: 1. ADLINKs PXI E xpress chassis accepts hybrid slot-compatible PXI-5 modules (with X J4 connector). Legac y PXI-1 boards (with J2 connector) need to be upgraded to hybrid slot-compatible PXI modules. A detailed list of ADLINK PXI hybrid slot-compatible modules is available online at:
