Installing Your VXI-USB Interface Module
All kits contain a VXI-USB interface module.
To install the VXI-USB in Slot 0 of your VXI chassis, complete the
following steps:
1.
Power off the chassis.
2.
Verify that the backplane connector is intact and that there are no bent
or missing pins on the module.
3.
Insert the VXI-USB into the chassis in Slot 0, as shown in Figure 1-1.
4.
Power on the chassis.
The VXI system controllers operate certain VXI lines as required for
VXI systems. Verify that any other VXI devices with system controller
capability that are in the same chassis are not configured as system
controller.
Caution
Having more than one device configured as system controller can damage the
VXI system.
