Note
Do not connect the SH9MD-9MD cable to the 2-slot HVAB-backplane adapter.
An SCXI-1127 is required in slot 12 of each 12-slot chassis to establish
communications with all the chassis in the system. If slot 12 is empty, the chassis
will not operate. It is this module that you must specify in the configuration utility
as the cabled module to the DMM.
If a chassis is configured with less than 12 slots of the HVAB-backplane adapter,
use the right-most available HVAB connector to extend to the next chassis. In this
instance, right-most means the slot closest to slot 1 when the chassis is viewed from
the back.
