  • PXIe-1487
  • PXIe-5841

Issue Details

The PXIe-1092 has a system expansion slot in slot 10 called the peripheral expansion slot. This has a black connector to the backplane of the chassis, which is different from the other slots. 
 

  • Can a regular single slot PXIe card be placed in slot 10? 
  • Can a multi-slot module use slot 10? 

Solution

This slot is to allow extra space in the chassis for multiple-slot modules to be placed in slot 9, for example: 

  • PXIe-1486 or PXIe-1487
  • PXIe-5841 
The connector provides access to the power lanes and from Revision B onwards, some CLK signals for the PXIe-5841.

You cannot connect a regular 1-slot card into slot 10, as it does not have the full set of connections to the backplane and will not operate correctly.
