# Introduction

Engineered for convenient mobility, the PXIS-2506 is a 3U compact PXI chassis with one system slot and five peripheral slots. The chassis is compliant with PXI and CompactPCI specifications, accepts both PXI and CompactPCI modules, and equips all peripheral slots with PXI functionalities, including a 10 MHz reference clock, start trigger, local bus, and trigger bus.

The PXIS-2506 chassis features a 250 W AC CompactPCI power module to provide reliable, round-the-clock power to the system. An optional 250 W DC power module is also available for in-vehicle applications. The power supply is modularly designed and is accessible from the front panel to promote easy field replacement and reduced MTTR (Mean-Time-To-Repair).The PXIS-2506 is the ideal chassis of choice for all bench-top and in-vehicle PXI applications.
