These configurations are not supported, even though the front panel MXI connectors are mechanically compatible. For these configurations the boards
will likely report a valid cable link via the front panels LEDs. Since these link scenarios expose a possible data integrity issue that may not be obvious to
the user, National Instruments strongly recommends against using these configurations.
**
Daisy-chaining from PXI Express or ExpressCard slots will give better throughput and latency performance than PXI or PXI Express hybrid slots.
