# Introduction

The ADLINK PXIS-2508 is the PXI chassis equipped with advanced features and functionalities. Compliant with PXI and CompactPCI specifications, these chassis offer one system slot and seven peripheral slots for more versatile test and measurement computing. Set in a sleek and lightweight chassis for superior portability, the PXIS-2508 also boasts of wider operating temperature range, lower operating noise, and robust system build.

The PXIS-2508 is equipped with an intelligent control board that dynamically monitors and manages the chassis status including the fan speed, system voltages, and internal temperature. A standard RS-232 monitoring port makes remote management possible as chassis status are exported to and viewed from a remote computer using serial communications.

Equipped with an industrial grade 350 W AC power supply, the PXIS-2508 also come with front panel LED indicators, and easyaccess PXI slots with card guides for convenient installation and deployment. With innovative features and design, PXIS-2508 is your best choices of PXI platform for test and measurement applications.
