5. Install the SCXI Switch Modules
Rear Connectors
SCXI switches have two types of rear connectors that differentiate their
cabling schemes: a 10-pin and a 50-pin. Refer to Table 2 and look at the
back of the switch module to determine how many pins are on the rear
connector.

SCXI Controllers
SCXI switch modules require a controller. Before installing an SCXI
switch module, refer to Table 2 to ensure that your controller supports your
switch. Table 2 also lists the cable adapter kit(s) necessary to cable the
controller directly to the switch module.
