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 the
