0 °C to 50 °C temperature range • Power supply, temperature, and fan monitoring Chassis Components The following figures show key features of the PXIe-1090 chassis front and back panels. Figure 1. PXIe-1090 Front Panel Features 1. System LED 4. PXI Express Hybrid Peripheral Slot 2. -
Page 4: Pxie-1090 Backplane Overview
The PXIe-1090 chassis has a built-in Intel Thunderbolt 3 interface accessible through two Thunderbolt 3 ports on the back of the chassis. This enables control of the PXIe-1090 from a host PC that includes a Thunderbolt 3 port and is running a native (nonvirtualized) operating system that supports Thunderbolt connectivity. -

Figure 3. Example of a Basic MXI-Express Thunderbolt Link Topology Thunderbolt Bus Extension You can daisy-chain from a PXIe-1090 controlled by a PC to an additional Thunderbolt 3 compatible device. The following figure shows how you can use a PXIe-1090 to connect multiple Thunderbolt 3 compatible devices to a PC in a daisy-chain topology. -
Page 6: Hybrid Peripheral Slot
The backplane routes PXI Local Bus 6 between PXI slots. The left local bus 6 from slot 2 and right local bus 6 from slot 3 are not routed anywhere. Local bus signals may range from high-speed TTL signals to analog signals as high as 42 V. 6 | ni.com | PXIe-1090 User Guide... -
Page 7: Pxi Trigger Bus
Modules can pass triggers to one another on the lines, allowing precisely timed responses to asynchronous external events the system is monitoring or controlling. Dynamic routing of triggers (automatic line assignments) is supported through certain NI drivers like NI-DAQmx. -
Page 8: Installation And Configuration
Unsuitable modifications may result in safety hazards. Chassis Cooling Considerations The PXIe-1090 chassis is designed to operate on a bench or in an instrument rack. You must adhere to the cooling clearances as outlined in the following section. 8 | ni.com | PXIe-1090 User Guide... - Page 9 Providing Adequate Clearance As shown below, the PXIe-1090 module and power supply intake vents are on the right side of the chassis. The module and power supply exhaust vents are on the left side of the chassis. Figure 6. PXIe-1090 Cooling Air Flow 1.
- Page 10 To aid in thermal health monitoring for either rack or benchtop use, you can monitor the chassis intake temperatures in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to ensure the temperatures do not exceed the ratings in the Operating Environment section of the PXIe-1090 Specifications.

0.8 m 787580-0R8 Connect the MXI-Express Thunderbolt cable to the host PC Thunderbolt port and PXIe-1090. The cables have no polarity, so you can connect either end to either Thunderbolt port. The PXIe-1090 User Guide | © National Instruments Corporation | 11... -
Page 12: Powering On/Off The Mxi-Express Thunderbolt System
To power off the PXIe-1090 AC off Observe the PXIe-1090 LED status where applicable. A properly connected and powered up system should report a valid link and power status once the host PC is powered on. Refer to LED Indicators for more information. -
Page 13: Installing Peripheral Modules
To avoid possible damage to a peripheral module when you install it in the PXIe-1090 chassis, the chassis must be in a vertical orientation, as shown in the following figure. Do not install a peripheral module with the chassis in a horizontal orientation. -

Indicates temperature is out of range, or an internal chassis fault has Steady red occurred. DIP Switches Use the DIP switches to control chassis behavior. Refer to the following figure for the DIP switches location. Figure 10. PXIe-1090 Dip Switches Location PXIe-1090 User Guide | © National Instruments Corporation | 15... -
Page 16: Inhibit Mode
Set host power up mode to Manual. Inhibit Mode The PXIe-1090 chassis supports operation in two inhibit modes. Use Default mode when you desire normal Power Inhibit switch functionality. In Default mode, when no host is connected 16 | ni.com | PXIe-1090 User Guide... -

AC power. Inhibit Mode Selection You can select the PXIe-1090 chassis Inhibit Mode using a DIP switch on the top of the card cage. Refer to the DIP Switches section for the DIP switch location and more information about DIP switch settings. -
Page 18: Pxi Express System Configuration With Max
You also can select the PXIe-1090 chassis fan mode using a DIP switch. Refer to the DIP Switches section for more information. Note The DIP switch must be in the Auto position for software configuration in MAX to work. If the DIP switch is in the High position, the chassis fan mode will be High regardless of the software setting. - Page 19 DAQmx, avoids double-driving and potentially damaging trigger lines. The PXIe-1090 has a trigger bus with eight lines numbered 0 through 7 that can be reserved and routed statically or dynamically. Static reservation pre-allocates a trigger line to prevent its configuration by a user program.

You can configure fan behavior using software settings in MAX. The PXIe-1090 supports both Auto and High fan modes for both the 38 W and 58 W cooling profiles. Refer to the Fan Mode section for more information about these modes. - Page 21 Maintenance This section describes basic maintenance procedures you can perform on the PXIe-1090 chassis. Caution Disconnect the power cable prior to servicing your PXIe-1090 chassis. Service Interval Clean dust from the chassis exterior (and interior) as needed, based on the operating environment.
