SCXI-1351 Installation
Follow these steps to install the SCXI-1351:
1. Make sure that the computer and the SCXI chassis are turned off.
2. Install the SCXI module in the chassis.
3. Connect the rear connector of the cable extender to the breakout connector in the adjacent
slot.
This attachment is similar to Step 3 in the SCXI-1180 Installation section, as shown in
Figure E-4.
4. Plug the mounting bracket connector to the module rear signal connector. 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.
Check the installation.
Multiple-Chassis Connections for the SCXI-1162
The SCXI-1162 can operate in a multiple-chassis system with the DIO-24, DIO-96, MIO-16, and
AT-MIO-64F-5 boards. A multiple-chassis system can consist of up to eight SCXI-1001 chassis
controlled by the same data acquisition board. Notice that you cannot use the SCXI-1000 in a
multiple-chassis system. For each chassis, you will need an SCXI-1350 multichassis adapter
board and an NB1 ribbon cable.
SCXI-1350 Multichassis Adapter
Note: When connecting multiple chassis, you should use a 0.5 m length ribbon cable between
chassis to minimize cable length and maintain signal integrity. However, you can use a
1.0 m cable from the data acquisition board to the first chassis. When you are using the
AT-MIO-16D or AT-MIO-64F-5 or DIO-96 board, use an NB5 ribbon cable from the
data acquisition board to the first chassis, connecting positions 1 through 50 to the
SCXI-1350 in the first chassis.
SCXI-1350 Installation
After you have installed the data acquisition board into the computer and the SCXI modules into
each of the SCXI-1001 chassis, cable one module from each chassis to the data acquisition board
as follows:
1. Make sure that the computer and all the SCXI chassis are turned off.
2. Connect one end of the NB1 (or the 100-pin connector of the NB5) cable to the data
acquisition board.
3. Plug the other end of the cable (or positions 1 through 50 of the NB5 cable) into the
connector with the latches that are at the rear of the SCXI-1350 adapter board.
