MXI-2 Cable Configuration Using a PCI-MXI-2 and a VME-MXI-2

When you have properly connected the MXI-2 cable, power on the
VMEbus mainframe and then the computer.

Note

Always turn on the mainframe first. Doing so makes it possible for your external

computer to access the VME boards in the mainframe upon startup.
