Step 4. Connect the PC to the PXI chassis

Using a remote PC

Refer to the following figure. Make certain that both the Remote Controller and
the PXI chassis are turned off. Unplug the chassis from the ac power mains. If you
are using the M9018A 18 Slot PXIe chassis, install the Keysight M9021A PCIe
Cable Interface module in the chassis.
- If you are using a desktop or rack mount PC, install the M9047A PCIe Desktop
- If you are using a laptop PC, install the M9045A PCIe ExpressCard Adapter in

Using an embedded computer

Refer to the figure above. If you are using an embedded controller in the PXI
chassis, you should have installed it prior to installing the Keysight IO Libraries
and instrument drivers. No cables or other adapters are required. After
installation, proceed to
