Description
The PCIe-8381 is a part of the PXI Remote Controllers category, identified by the part number 153094B-01L. This model is equipped with a power control feature that enables the forced power on/off of the frame controlling, synchronizing it with the power state of the host framework. Additionally, it offers a manual power override, allowing users to manually power on the downstream chassis before the system host if necessary.
For ease of monitoring, the PCIe-8381 is designed with 6 LED indicators. These indicators include 4 LEDs dedicated to backplane connection status, 1 for the link port, and 1 specifically for the SMBus controller, ensuring clear visibility of the device’s operation status. The SMBus Controller Link Status LED provides immediate feedback on the connection status to the PCIe-to-PCI bridge for SMBus controller, blinking green with a 25% duty cycle during normal operations. Moreover, the Backplane Link Status LEDs are instrumental in showing the status of PCIe links between the PCIe-8381 and the backplane PCIe switches, offering an at-a-glance insight into the integrity and functionality of these critical connections.
