Slot Types Accept PXI and PXI Express Modules
The NI PXIe- 1065 enables higher- bandwidth systems and provides the flexibility to work with both PXI and PXI Express modules. The PXI Express system slot offers three x4 PCI
Express links (1 GB/s single direction per link) and a x1 PCI Express link to a PCI Express- to-PCI translation bridge on the backplane. The PXI Express slots feature up to a 1 GB/s per-
slot, per- direction dedicated bandwidth through a x4 PCI Express link connection. The PXI Express system timing slot provides a x4 PCI Express link to the system slot and accepts a PXI
Express module or a PXI Express system timing controller for advanced timing and synchronization. The four PXI Express hybrid slots deliver connectivity to either a x4 PCI Express link to
the system slot or to the 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI bus on the backplane. The nine remaining PXI slots provide connectivity to the 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI bus on the backplane.

Optimized Cooling and Acoustic Emissions
The NI PXIe- 1065 chassis integrates three pulse- width modulation (PWM) system fans to provide forced- air cooling that meets the increased cooling demands of PXI Express and CompactPCI
Express. The NI PXIe- 1065 offers a HIGH fan setting to maximize cooling at any ambient temperature and an AUTO fan setting to minimize acoustic emissions at ambient temperatures below 30 °C.
The chassis monitors air intake temperature and adjusts fan speed accordingly. With this technology, the NI PXIe- 1065 achieves acoustic noise levels as low as 45 dBA (sound pressure level
measured at operator position according to ISO 7779).
Software System Configuration
The NI PXIe- 1065 chassis is configured with NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). With this software configuration tool, you can easily configure NI PXIe- 1065 systems without time-
consuming manual installation of initialization files. MAX creates the pxisys. ini file that defines the layout and parameters of your PXI system including chassis, controller, and plug- in modules.
Replaceable Power Supply Shuttle
The NI PXIe- 1065 chassis include a removable high- performance universal AC power supply with built-in overcurrent protection. An isolated 12 VDC line provides power to the cooling fans,
significantly reducing electrical noise on the chassis backplane. The NI PXIe- 1065 incorporates the power supply and fans into a single modular unit that you can replace quickly, resulting in a mean
time to repair (MTTR) of less than five minutes.
External 10 MHz Reference Clock I/O Connectors
The NI PXIe- 1065 chassis include IN/OUT BNC connectors for the 10 MHz reference clock on the rear of the chassis. When the backplane detects a 10 MHz signal on the IN connector, it phase
locks PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100, and PXIe_SYNC100 to the external clock. The OUT connector provides a buffered, non-TTL version of the 10 MHz reference clock.
Remote Power Inhibit and Monitoring
The NI PXIe- 1065 chassis features remote power inhibit and voltage monitoring through a DB-9 connector on the rear of the chassis. Use this connector to switch off power or monitor the power
remotely in the chassis.
Power Supply, Temperature, and Fan Monitoring
The NI PXIe- 1065 chassis monitors power supply voltages, air intake temperature, and fan speeds; and provides any failure feedback to the user via a bicolor LED located in the power switch button
on the front of the chassis.
NI PXIe- 1065 Options
The NI PXIe- 1065 has several optional accessories for complete system integration and optimized chassis functionality. Front and rear rackmount kits are available for 19 in. rack- mounted systems.
You can easily replace spare power supplies with little system downtime because of the modular nature of the NI PXIe- 1065 power supply and fan shuttle. You can use slot blockers to improve the
overall cooling performance of the chassis.
