SCXI-1120 Cabling Appendix ESCXI-1120 User Manual E-10 © National Instruments CorporationSCXI-1351 InstallationFollow these steps to install the SCXI-1351:1. Make sure that the computer and the SCXI chassis are turned off.2. Install the SCXI module in the chassis.3. Connect the rear connector of the cable extender to the breakout connector in the adjacentslot. This attachment is similar to Step 3 in the SCXI-1180 Installation section, as shown inFigure E-2.4. Plug the mounting bracket connector to the module rear signal connector. Make sure thealignment tab on the bracket enters the upper module guide of the chassis.5. Screw the mounting bracket to the threaded strips in the rear of the chassis.Check the installation.SCXI-1350 Multichassis AdapterYou use the SCXI-1350 multichassis adapter to connect an additional SCXI-1001 chassis to theMIO-16 board. Using several SCXI-1350s, you can connect up to eight chassis to a single MIOboard. The SCXI-1350 consists of a multichassis adapter board. You will also need a ribboncable for each chassis-to-chassis connection, and a ribbon cable for the connection from the MIOboard to the first chassis.Note: Use 0.5 m ribbon cable when connecting multiple chassis together to minimize cablelength and maintain signal integrity. You can use a 1 m cable from the MIO board to thefirst chassis.The adapter board has a male rear connector, a female front connector, and a male chassisextender connector. You can attach the rear connector to a ribbon cable from the MIO board or apreceding chassis. You connect the front connector with the module rear signal connector. Youconnect the chassis extender connector to a ribbon cable that goes to the subsequent chassis. Theadapter takes Channel 0 from the front connector and sends it to Channel 0 of the rear connector.The adapter also takes channels 0 through 6 on the chassis extender connector and maps them tochannels 1 through 7, respectively, on the rear connector.SCXI-1350 InstallationFollow these steps to install the SCXI-1350:1. Make sure that the computer and all the SCXI chassis are turned off.2. Insert all the modules in all the chassis.3. Connect one end of a ribbon cable to the MIO board.4. Connect the other end of the ribbon cable to the rear connector of the first SCXI-1350.
