PXIe-1086

The PXIe‑1086 incorporates hot-swappable, redundant AC power supplies as well as hot-swappable, front-accessible, redundant cooling fans. These high-availability features improve the mean time between failure (MTBF) and mean time to repair (MTTR) of the PXI system. The PXIe‑1086 monitors power supply health/voltages, air intake temperature, and fan health/speed; it provides any failure feedback with the status LEDs located on the chassis. This chassis is ideal for test, measurement, and control applications with demanding system uptime requirements.
