2.5 Power-ON/OFF Sequence
To power-on the PCI Express-to-PXI Extension Kit, follow these
steps:
1. Check that the 3 M extension cable is properly con-
nected to the host PC and extension chassis.
2. Power-on the PXI extension chassis first.
3. Power-on the host PC
.
As the ExpressCard-to-PXI Extension Kit is a standard EC-to-PCI
bridge interface, the BIOS will identify each device behind the PCI
bridge and assign resource to each one during start up. Thus
users have to power-on the PXI chassis first in order to get appro-
priate resources from the BIOS.
To power-off the PCI Express-to-PXI Extension Kit, follow these
steps:
1. Power-off the host laptop computer.
2. Power-off the extension chassis.
CAUTION:
DO NOT
remove the cable after the system and exten-
sion chassis are powered on. Disconnecting the cable
while the system is running may cause unpredictable
system errors and/or system crash.
CAUTION:
DO NOT
power-off the extension chassis until the host
laptop computer is powered off. If the extension chassis
is powered off while the host laptop computer is on, the
host laptop computer may hang or crash.
