PXIe-1084 auto power on without onboard controller

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello, I have a  chassis with a pxie-8301 card (with no onboard controller).

The PXIe-1084 is in a bay and must be powered on when the mains voltage appears without pressing the button on the front panel.

I can't find how to do it online! With onbord controller it's ok but without ???

thank you for the Help!

From Power-Up Options for PXIe Chassis From PC With MXI Express

The PXIe-8301 does not support a remote power-up option. However, it also has no requirement for the order in which the chassis vs computer is powered up. An alternative is to generally leave the chassis on and plug/unplug the Thunderbolt connection before powering on the computer. NI does not support hot-plugging the Thunderbolt connection.

 

If your PXIe-1084 has the Timing & Synchronization Upgrade, you can enable the remote inhibit to power it on automatically. See Part 2 of Remotely Powering on an NI PXI Chassis

Hello, I have a lot of problems with this pxi!
With the thunderbolt everything is ok (except the problem of starting).

On the pc of the machine I have a pcie 8361 (8360 in the chassis). Impossible to start the chassis before the pc otherwise the pc doesn't boot.  The pxi is start too late so it is not recognized!

I saw a lot of identical subject I did a lot of manipulation, I just have to update the bios of my motherboard (I did not update the chassis .. .) .... but impossible to find this one (industrial pc)....

A little feedback after finding the solution:
chassis PXIe-1084
pxie 8360 and 8361 board
My chassis crashed the boot of the pc, impossible to start the pc with the chassis on.
I had to update the bios of my motherboard.
I had to update the firmware of the 2 cards.
The chassis detected under daqmx, I always had the problem of having to start it by hand.
I applied the ni procedure: https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA03q000000YIEECA4&l=fr-FR
I find it unacceptable that you have to go through an executable on the command line to change this parameter!

 

i hope it will be usefull !

In theory you might be right. But in practice the cards may get new IDs when restarting Windows and then any Aliases used are unusable.

I truly regret letting my customer talk me into the Thunderbolt solution. It is just so shaky and unreliable.

It work for a lab environment, where you have engineers that know how to reconfigure once in a while. But for a production environment I would never in a million years recommend the solution.

Hello! 

 

It is the same issue in my case as well.

 

You said 'I had to update the bios of my motherboard.'

 

What did you have to update on your bios?

hello, sorry for the answer a bit late !

I have update the firmware of the motherboard of the pc connected to the PXI chassis.

Update with the *.bin finded on the official MSI web site.
