Thermal Considerations

The PXIe-8267 requires 58 W of slot cooling capability. Currently, the only chassis that can provide at least 58 W of cooling in a peripheral slot are the PXIe-1095, PXIe-1092, PXIe-1088, and the PXIe-1084. The PXIe-1095 or PXIe-1092 are the recommended chassis to use with the PXIe-8267 data storage module due to their 82 W slot cooling capacity and Gen3 x8 PXI Express slots.  

For more information about PXI power and cooling, please read this white paper.

Services and Warranty Information

The PXIe-8267 contains M.2 NVMe solid state drives with a warranted lifetime (in years) and warranted write lifetime (in terabytes written, or TBW). A RAID module with an out-of-warranty drive is considered itself to be out of warranty. Please refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for drive warranty information along with instructions for monitoring your drive's health.
