If you are using the NI PXIe-1062 chassis, you will notice that the last group of LEDs has an LED (PORT 3) illuminated even if no boards are populated in the slots. Since the NI PXIe-1062 uses the last link for a PCI Express to PCI bridge for PXI communication, this link should always be active.

  • Page 42: Appendix A Common Questions

    This appendix lists common questions related to the use of NI MXI-Express x1 products. General Hardware Does NI offer a chassis with the MXI-Express x1 controller integrated? Yes. Refer to Table 2-1, MXI-Express x1 Connectivity Support From a Host PC Using a Copper Cable, for more information.
  • Page 43 This is because the board-to-board communication protocols differ. For example, an NI PCI-8336, which is a MXI-4 product, will not work with an NI PXI-8366 even though the connectors are the same. Refer to Table 1-2 in Chapter 1, Introduction, for more information on connectivity support.
