Specifications

Description

The Agilent E8401A C-size, 13-slot VXI mainframe is the

lowest-cost mainframe in Agilent Technologies’ VXI

mainframe family. It delivers innovative cooling technology,

improved backplane design, high reliability, easy

maintenance, and versatile accessories. The power supply in

the E8401A VXI mainframe provides 500 watts of usable

power, sufficient for most automated test applications. The

innovative air distribution system provides extremely quiet

and efficient cooling. Basic mainframe monitoring of the

E8401A indicates normal operating conditions at a glance. A

front panel diagnostics connector allows continuous local or

remote system monitoring. This mainframe also complies

with the VXI Specification by providing injector surface rails

used by the QUIC easy module insertion and extraction

system. Superior cooling, reliable design and system

monitoring make the E8401A an excellent choice for most VXI

test system applications.

Refer to the Agilent Technologies Website for instrument

driver availability and downloading instructions, as well as for

recent product updates, if applicable.

500W Power Supply

The E8401A VXI mainframe features over 500 watts of usable

power from 0 °C to 55 °C. Ample dynamic and peak currents

are provided for most applications.

Superior Cooling

The innovative cooling design in the E8401A VXI mainframe

provides extremely quiet and efficient cooling. Carefully

engineered airflow provides the ultimate in cooling with a

minimum of noise. Outstanding back pressure performance

insures airflow through dense modules. Separate power

supply cooling fan(s) provides an independent air path for

reliable cooling of the power supply.

All fans operate in either Variable or Full Speed mode. A two-

position switch on the mainframe’s front panel controls the

speed mode. Full Speed mode is recommended for maximum

cooling and/or if acoustic noise is not a concern; all air

movers (cardcage impeller and power supply fan(s)) are

operated at full capacity at all times. In Variable Speed mode,

the fan speed will vary depending on the temperature rise in

the mainframe, and the ambient temperature. Variable Speed

mode operation allows the quietest operation while providing

sufficient cooling for the modules in the mainframe.

Airflow is conveniently routed into the rear and exhausted

out the sides of the mainframe. This allows mainframes to be

stacked or rack-mounted directly on top of one another.
