VME-AT2000/NI-VXI MS-DOS Getting Started

Polarized Cables

If you are using a MXIbus cable with a single connector on one cable end and a double
connector on the other end, it is a polarized cable that must be installed correctly for the system
to function properly.  Connect the end with the single connector to the AT-MXI and the end of
the cable with the double connector to the VME-MXI.  Be sure to tighten the screw locks to
ensure proper pin connection.  See Figure 2-12.

Figure 2-12.  MXIbus Dual-Ended Cable Configuration

When the MXIbus cable is properly connected, turn on the VME chassis and then the PC AT
computer.  After all devices are powered on and running properly, you may run the Resource
Manager software utility to configure your system.
