# Introduction

The ADLINK PXES-2301 compact 6-slot PXI Express chassis, compliant with PXI Express and cPCI Express specifications, provides one system slot with three expansion slots and five hybrid peripheral slots, supporting a wide variety of enhanced-bandwidth testing and measurement applications. The hybrid-slot design accepts installation of CompactPCI, PXI, CompactPCI Express, and PXI Express modules in any peripheral slot for maximum flexibility. Built on a four-link PXI Express chassis with 8GB/s system bandwidth, the PXES-2301's peripheral slots are all connected with PCIe gen2 x4, with slot bandwidth up to 2GB/s. The PXES-2301 implements a smart system monitoring controller, reporting full chassis status including fan speed, system voltages, and internal temperature.

The compact, rugged, half-rack size with efficient construction uniquelty suits the PXES- 2301 for portable use with minimized space requirements. An industrial grade AC power supply delivers 320W performance under 50°C, with superior cooling capacity. All in all, the PXES-2301 is an ideal PXI Express platform choice for practically any testing and measurement operation.
