This chapter contains the instructions to configure and install the
VXI-MXI-2 module. This chapter applies only if your kit contains a C-size
VXI-MXI-2. If you have a B-size VXI-MXI-2, refer to Chapter 6,

. If you ordered the VME kit,
skip this chapter and refer to Chapter 7,
Configuring the VXI-MXI-2 is optional. A typical configuration can use
the default settings.
