# Introduction

The ADLINK PXES-2590 is a 9-slot PXI Express chassis equipped with advanced features and functions. Compliant with PXI Express and cPCI Express specifications, the PXES-2590 offers one system slot, one system timing slot, and seven hybrid peripheral slots for versatile test and measurement applications requiring enhanced bandwidth. The hybrid-slot design accepts installation of CompactPCI, PXI, CompactPCI Express, and PXI Express modules into any peripheral slots in PXES-2590, maximizing flexibility. The PXES-2590 is built on a four-link PXI express chassis with 8 GB/ s system bandwidth, and 2 GB/s slot bandwidth for all peripheral slots.

The PXES-2590 is implemented with a smart system monitoring controller, reporting full chassis status, including fan speed, system voltages, and internal temperature.

Equipped with an industrial grade AC power supply, the PXES-2590 still provides 400 W under 55°C, and delivers superior cooling capacity, from two 120 mm cooling fans on the rear of the chassis. Two BNC connectors for 10 MHz clock input/output on the rear panel increase chassis flexibility, enabling synchronization with supplementary devices. All in all, PXES-2590 is the best PXI Express platform choice for testing and measurement requirements.

# Highlights

# Portable LCD Monitor/Keyboard Accessory

In further support of the portability requirements of PXI/PXIe measurement systems, the PXES-2590 also provides an optional portable LCD monitor/keyboard accessory kit, allowing rack-cabinet PXI systems to be easily converted to fully portable PXI systems.

# Accessory kit includes:

● 15 in. touch screen LCD monitor with 1024 x 768 resolution
● English keyboard and touchpad
● ADLINK factory or user installation
● VGA video connection
No requirement for external power

# Innovative Cooling Mechanism

The ADLINK PXES-2590 features an innovative heat dissipation solution. Two 185.9CFM cooling fans in the rear section of the chassis draw cool air through lower apertures, which is then exhausted through the back. This design generates uniform 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 noise source (fan) from modules and maintaining a steady internal temperature.

# Intelligent Chassis Management

The PXES-2590 has a built-in system monitoring controller that monitors and manages full chassis status, including internal temperature, fan speed, and DC voltages.

# All Hybrid Peripheral Slots Design\*

The ADLINK PXES-2590 features an all-hybrid peripheral slot design, with PXI Express, cPCI Express, PXI, and CompactPCI modules compatible with every slot.

# Note:

1. ADLINK’s PXI Express chassis accepts hybrid slot-compatible PXI-5 modules (with XJ4 connector). Legacy 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: http://www.adlinktech.com/PXI/pxi-breakthrough-bandwidth. php#FAQ

2. Contact your ADLINK sales representative for assistance in upgrading ADLINK legacy PXI modules. If the PXI modules were purchased from a third party, please contact the original vendor.
