High voltages are present inside the chassis when the chassis power cord is
section of Chapter 1.
If there is a problem, be sure to turn off the power before making any
changes. If you are having trouble with the system, turn off the host

Go to Start»Settings»Control Panel»Add/Remove Programs. Select the
NI CardBus-8310 driver, and then select Add/Remove.
The following notes are observations made during the testing of the
NI CardBus-8310 and the NI PXI-8310.
To connect additional PXI chassis through MXI-4, please connect them to
the first PXI bus segment in the first chassis as shown in Figure 2-8. The
preferred connection style is a Star configuration, rather than a daisy-chain,
which is shown in Figure 2-9. The system will support daisy-chaining, but
only to a certain depth of PCI bus segments. Systems connected in a Star
configuration will also exhibit lower latency.
