1.
Install the HVAB-backplane adapters and 8-position HVAB plugs in
the next chassis as described in steps 1 through 3 in the
section.
2.
Connect the HV8-HV8 cable from the first chassis, normally the
connector behind slot 1, to the HVAB connector (behind slot 4) of the
next chassis.
3.
Connect the SH9MD-9MD cable from the AUX OUT connector of
the first chassis to the AUX IN connector of the next chassis.
4.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each additional chassis.
Notes
An SCXI-1129 is required in slot 4 to establish communications with the chassis.
If slot 4 is empty, the system will not operate. It is this module that you must specify in
MAX as the cabled module to the DMM.
If a chassis is configured with less than four slots of the HVAB-backplane adapter, use the
right-most available HVAB connector to extend to the next chassis. In this instance,
right-most means the slot closest to slot 1 when the chassis is viewed from the back.
