Installation and Configuration

Figure 2-4 shows the cable connection with which a PCI Express host card controls the 
PXIe-1073 chassis.

Figure 2-4.  

NI PCI Express Host Card Cable Connection

Cabling

Connect the appropriate MXI-Express cable to the NI PCI Express card and PXIe-1073 chassis. 
The cables have no polarity, so either end may be connected to either connector.

Caution

Do 

not

 remove the cable after the system is powered on. Doing so can 

hang or cause errors in applications communicating with devices behind 
MXI-Express. If a cable becomes unplugged, plug it back into the system.

Note

For more information about cables, refer to th

MXI-Express Cable Options

 

section of this chapter.
