After step 1, the order of these steps is not critical; however, it is easier to locate the correct
position for the mounting bracket with a module installed in the chassis. If you are attaching a
cable to the female connector, installation is easiest if you attach the second cable before
installing the SCXI-1351.

SCXI-1348 DIO-32F Cable Assembly
The SCXI-1348 DIO-32F cable assembly connects a DIO-32F board to an SCXI-1163 module.
The SCXI-1348 cable assembly consists of two pieces–an adapter board and a 50-conductor
shielded ribbon cable that connects the DIO-32F board to the adapter board. The adapter board
converts the signals from the DIO-32F I/O connector to a format compatible with the SCXI-1163
rear signal connector pinout. The adapter board also has an additional male breakout connector
that provides the unmodified DIO-32F signals for use with an SCXI-1180 feedthrough panel or
SCXI-1181 breadboard module. The adapter board gives the DIO-32F full access to the digital
control lines. Table E-5 lists the SCXI-1348 pin translations.
