Thank you for posting your question! It is not recommended to use another source besides the 120 VAC to power a PXI chassis. However, I do not know whether it is possible or not, because I don't believe we have tested powering a PXI chassis in that manner. Given the fact that we have not tested it, I don't think you should try it any other way besides our standard recommendation.
