MXI-2 Configuration Reference Manual
Switches S8 and S9 on the VXI-MXI-2 select its position in relation to
any other VXI-MXI-2 module in the chassis. Use switch S9 when there is
a VXI-MXI-2 to the right (higher-numbered slot). Use S8 when there is a
VXI-MXI-2 to the left (lower-numbered slot).
Figure 5-11 shows four configuration settings for a VXI-MXI-2.
Figure 5-11a illustrates the default setting, which is for a single
VXI-MXI-2 in a chassis. Use the setting in Figure 5-11b for the
VXI-MXI-2 located to the left of all others. Figure 5-11c shows the setting
to use if the VXI-MXI-2 is between two others. Use the setting of
Figure 5-11d for the VXI-MXI-2 located to the right of all others.
