Interconnecting the Unidirectional MIMO (Baseband) Modules

Complete the following steps to connect the modules of the unidirectional MIMO (baseband) mmWave Transceiver System configuration.

  1. Connect the adjoining PXIe-3630 and PXIe-7902 modules in the RX chassis using four Mini-SAS HD(m)-to-Mini-SAS HD(m) (8.25 in.) cables.
    1. Connect the 0 connector of the PXIe-3630 front panel to the PORT 0 connector of the PXIe-7902 front panel.
    2. Connect the 1 connector of the PXIe-3630 front panel to the PORT 1 connector of the PXIe-7902 front panel.
    3. Connect the 2 connector of the PXIe-3630 front panel to the PORT 2 connector of the PXIe-7902 front panel.
    4. Connect the 3 connector of the PXIe-3630 front panel to the PORT 3 connector of the PXIe-7902 front panel.

  2. Repeat step 1 to connect the second set of adjoining PXIe-3630 and PXIe-7902 modules in the RX chassis.
  3. Connect the PXIe-7902 modules in the RX chassis using three Mini-SAS HD(m)-to-Mini-SAS HD(m) (8.25 in.) cables.
    1. Connect the PORT 4 connector of the PXIe-7902 front panel in slot 9 of the chassis to the PORT 4 connector of the PXIe-7902 in slot 12 of the chassis.
    2. Connect the PORT 5 connector of the PXIe-7902 front panel in slot 9 of the chassis to the PORT 5 connector of the PXIe-7902 in slot 18 of the chassis.
    3. Connect the PORT 5 connector of the PXIe-7902 front panel in slot 12 of the chassis to the PORT 4 connector of the PXIe-7902 in slot 18 of the chassis.
