Hardware Installation
To guard against electrostatic discharge, touch the antistatic plastic
package to a metal part of your computer before removing the PCI-MXI-2
from the package. Install the PCI-MXI-2 in an available PCI slot in your
PCI-based computer.

from the package. Install the PCI-MXI-2 in an available PCI slot in your
PCI-based computer.
By default, the PCI-MXI-2 automatically detects whether it should be the
system controller on the MXIbus. Verify that the correct cable end labeled
Connect This End To Device Closest To MXIbus Controller In This Daisy
Chain is attached securely to the PCI-MXI-2. You must connect the cable
this way so that the PCI-MXI-2 can correctly detect whether it should be
the system controller on the MXIbus. For more information, refer to

You received either a VXI-MXI-2 or a VME-MXI-2 in your PCI-MXI-2
kit. To guard against electrostatic discharge, touch the antistatic plastic
package to a metal part of your computer before removing the VXI-MXI-2
or VME-MXI-2 from the package. Install the VXI-MXI-2 in the first slot
of a VXI chassis, or install the VME-MXI-2 in the first slot of a VME
chassis.

or VME-MXI-2 from the package. Install the VXI-MXI-2 in the first slot
of a VXI chassis, or install the VME-MXI-2 in the first slot of a VME
chassis.
The VXI/VME-MXI-2 default configuration automatically detects whether
it should be the VXI/VMEbus system controller. The VXI/VMEbus system
controllers operate certain VXI/VMEbus lines as required for VXI/VME
systems. Verify that any other VXI/VME devices with system controller
capability that are located in the same chassis are not configured as system
controller. Having more than one device configured as system controller
will damage the VXI/VME system.

For VXI systems that include VME devices, ensure that the VME devices
are not configured in the upper 16 KB (starting from 0xC000) of the
A16 address space. This region is reserved for VXI device configuration
registers, which are used for initializing, configuring, and interacting with
VXI devices. The PCI-MXI-2 and VME-MXI-2 also use this region for this
purpose.

Also ensure that no VXI devices in your system are configured for either
logical addresses 0 or 1. These are the default configurations for the
PCI-MXI-2 and the VXI-MXI-2, respectively.
