SCXI-1350.

are connecting to an SCXI-1160, be sure to set the jumpers for either a DIO-type or an
MIO-type board as needed.

7. Connect the loose end of the ribbon cable from step 4 into the rear connector of the second
SCXI-1350, and install the adapter board.

connector of the SCXI-1350 adapter board in the last chassis.
