4. Plug the mounting bracket connector onto the module rear signal connector (see Figure E-2).
An alignment tab on the bracket will enter the upper board guide of the chassis.
5. Screw the mounting bracket to the threaded strips in the rear of the chassis.
6. Connect the 100-pin connector of the NB5 cable to the data acquisition board.
After step 1, the order of these steps is not critical; however, it is easier to locate the correct
position for the mounting bracket with a module installed in the chassis. If you are attaching a
cable to the female connector, installation is easiest if you attach the second cable before
installing the SCXI-1351.

SCXI-1348 DIO-32F Cable Assembly
The SCXI-1348 DIO-32F cable assembly connects a DIO-32F board to an SCXI-1162 module.
The SCXI-1348 cable assembly consists of two pieces–an adapter board and a 50-conductor
shielded ribbon cable that connects the DIO-32F board to the adapter board. The adapter board
converts the signals from the DIO-32F I/O connector to a format compatible with the SCXI-1162
rear signal connector pinout. The adapter board also has an additional male breakout connector
that provides the unmodified DIO-32F signals for use with an SCXI-1180 feedthrough panel or
SCXI-1181 breadboard module. The adapter board gives the DIO-32F full access to the digital
control lines. Table E-5 lists the SCXI-1348 pin translations.
