2.5 Power-ON/OFF Sequence
To power-on the PCI Express-to-PXI Extension Kit, follow these
steps:
1. Check that the 3 M extension cable is properly con-
nected to the host PC and extension chassis.
2. Power-on the PXI™ extension chassis first.
3. Power-on the host PC
.
As the PCI Express-to-PXI Extension Kit is a standard PCIe-to-
PCI bridge interface, the BIOS will identify each device behind the
PCI bridge and assign resource to each one during start up. Thus
users have to power-on the PXI™ chassis first in order to get
appropriate resources from the BIOS.
To power-off the PCI Express-to-PXI Extension Kit, follow these
steps:
1. Power-off the host PC.
2. Power-off the extension chassis.
CAUTION:
DO NOT remove the cable after the system and exten-
sion chassis are powered on. Disconnecting the cable
while the system is running may cause unpredictable
system errors and/or system crash.
CAUTION:
DO NOT power-off the extension chassis until the host
PC is powered off. If the extension chassis is powered
off while the host PC is on, the host PC may hang or
crash.
