VXI-MXI-2 Configuration
and Installation
This chapter contains the instructions to configure and install the
VXI-MXI-2 module. This chapter applies only if you ordered the
VXI-PCI8026 interface kit. If you ordered the VME-PCI8026 kit,
skip this chapter and refer to Chapter 4,
Caution
Electrostatic discharge can damage several components on your VXI-MXI-2
module. To avoid such damage in handling the module, touch the antistatic plastic package
to a metal part of your VXI chassis before removing the VXI-MXI-2 from the package.
Configure the VXI-MXI-2
This section describes how to configure the following options on the
VXI-MXI-2:
•
VXIbus logical address
•
VXIbus Slot 0/Non-Slot 0
•
VXIbus local bus
•
VXIbus CLK10 routing
•
Trigger input termination
•
MXIbus termination
•
Configuration EEPROM
•
Onboard DRAM
Note
If you have only one VXI chassis in your system, you should leave the VXI-MXI-2
at Logical Address 1 and install it into Slot 0. To install the VXI-MXI-2, see
later in this chapter.
Figure 3-1 shows the VXI-MXI-2 as it would appear when facing the right
side cover. The drawing shows the location and factory-default settings of
most of the configuration switches and jumpers on the module. Notice that
switch S6 is accessible only by removing the front cover.
