The NI 189864B-01 PXI Panel Kit provides filler panels for organizing and managing unused slots within PXI chassis. This kit includes seven single-slot, one double-slot, and two quadruple-slot aluminum panels in white finish. Installation of these panels improves system cooling by maintaining proper airflow through the chassis and reduces electromagnetic interference by preventing signal leakage from vacant slots. The kit ships with all necessary mounting hardware for straightforward installation.
Technical Specifications
• Kit Contents: 7 single-slot filler panels, 1 double-slot filler panel, 2 quadruple-slot filler panels
• Material: Aluminum
• Color: White
• Includes all necessary mounting hardware
– Key Features
• Multi-sized panel configuration accommodates flexible slot management within PXI chassis
• Aluminum construction provides durability and thermal compatibility with PXI systems
• Designed to fill unused slots and prevent signal leakage from empty positions
• Supports thermal management by enabling consistent airflow circulation through the chassis
• Improves electromagnetic compatibility within the PXI environment
– Typical Applications
These filler panels are used to populate unused slots in PXI test and measurement systems, particularly where thermal stability and signal integrity are critical. Proper slot filling maintains uniform airflow patterns across installed modules and prevents unwanted electromagnetic coupling.
– Compatibility & Integration
The NI 189864B-01 kit is engineered for use with National Instruments PXI chassis and supports the modular architecture of PXI systems. PXI platforms provide scalability with broad module availability from NI and third-party vendors. PXI Express chassis incorporate advanced timing, synchronization, and peer-to-peer streaming capabilities for inline signal processing.
