2. Set the chassis address switches to the OFF position.
Note
Earlier chassis use jumpers inside the chassis front panel instead of
chassis address switches. Earlier chassis also differ in fuses and AC power
selection. Refer to the documentation specific to your chassis for more
information.
3. Confirm the correct power settings of the chassis (100 VAC, 120 VAC, 220 VAC, or 240
VAC).
Note
Refer to the documentation specific to your chassis for the correct
voltage for your region.
4. Remove the filler panel in an unused SCXI slot.
5. Touch any metal part of the chassis to discharge static electricity.
6. Insert the switch module into the SCXI slot.
7. Screw the switch front panel to the chassis front panel mounting rail.
8. Attach the NI USB-1359, included with the kit, to the rear of the NI SCXI switch module.
Ensure that the 10-pin rear connector of the switch module connects to the black lower-
right 10-pin rear connector of the NI USB-1359.
9. Screw the backplane adapter to the chassis mounting rail.
10. Power on the chassis. You must power on the chassis before you connect the
NI USB-1359 to the computer to auto-detect the NI USB-1359 and auto-create the
chassis in MAX.
Note
If you are using an NI PXI-1010/1050 the chassis appears in MAX as an
NI SCXI-1000 chassis.
11. Connect one end of the USB cable to the NI USB-1359 and the other end to a USB hub
or a USB port on a computer.
