The terms CompactPCI Express and CPCIe are interchangeable in this CPCIe guide. MXI-Express A NI PCIe-8381, NI PXIe-8381, NI PXIe-8384, or NI PXIe-8383mc Gen II x8 product board. PCI Express/PCIe The terms PCI Express and PCIe are interchangeable in this guide. -
Page 3: Functional Overview
In the example shown, the system on the right is designated as a PXImc Device since it contains the PXImc Logic block (i.e. the NI PXIe-8383mc). The system on the left is designated the Primary System Host, which serves as the central connection hub for all other PXImc Devices. - Page 4 “mc” glyph to show their locations. In cases where a sub-system does not contain a PXImc Logic Block, a NI PXIe-8383mc can be installed in the Primary System Host to create a Logical PXImc Device out of the sub-system.

Page 5: Product Features
The NI PXIe-8383mc can directly connect to any of the following NI MXI-Express Gen 2 x8 products. • NI PCIe-8381—Used to connect PCs with Gen 2 x8 or wider PCI-Express slots • NI PXIe-8384—Used to connect PXI-Express systems Refer to the MXI-Express Gen II x8 User Manual available on the ni.com website for installation instructions for the NI PCIe-8381, NI PXIe-8381, and NI PXIe-8384. - Page 6 (MC) mode or daisy-chain (DC) mode. This makes it possible for an NI PXIe-8383mc in MC mode to connect to another NI PXIe-8383mc in DC mode, just as if it were a NI PXIe-8384 daisy-chain module. National Instruments recommends operating the NI PXIe-8383mc in MC mode, and using a NI PXIe-8384 for daisy-chain purposes.

Page 7: Led Indicators
When the board operates in daisy chain (DC) mode this switch determines the clocking mode for the front panel cable port. NI recommends keeping this switch in the default SSC mode unless otherwise specified. Regardless of the clock mode selected, the reference clock is PCI Express Gen 2 specification compliant. -
Page 8: Installation And Configuration
Remove the device from the package and inspect the device for loose components or any sign of damage. Notify NI if the device appears damaged in any way. Do not install a damaged device into the computer or into a PXI Express or CompactPCI Express chassis. -
Page 9: Cabling
Make sure the injector/ejector handle is in its downward position. Be sure to remove all connector packaging and protective caps from retaining screws on the module. Identify which slot the NI PXIe-8383mc will be installed in the chassis. Refer to Table 2 to determine which slot types the NI PXIe-8383mc is compatible with. -
Page 10: Powering On The Pximc System
Primary System Host, will simplify the power sequence of the overall PXImc system. Simply power on the Primary System Host that contains all of the NI PXIe-8383mc adapter modules, and then power on all of the sub-systems that are cabled to it. - Page 11 Power on any applicable PXI-Express chassis and/or PCs that contain ‘mc’ cable ports (for example, the NI PXIe-8383mc) but are not cabled to other sub-systems that contain “mc” port(s) and are still powered off. Allow time for the operating system to begin loading before proceeding to the next step.
-
Page 12: Powering Off The Pximc System
Repeat Step 3 if applicable until all systems are powered on. The item that follows power sequence D in Figure 4 meet this criterion. Observe the front panel Link LED status on all NI PXIe-8383mc modules and all other products that connect the chassis and systems together via a cable link. A properly linked system should report a solid green status across all products that accept a cabled MXI-Express connection. -
Page 13: Specifications
Note Refer to the MXI-Express Gen II x8 Series User Manual for specifications on the NI PCIe-8381, NI PXIe-8381, and NI PXIe-8384 products. NI PXIe-8383mc (153100x-02L) These specifications are typical at 25 °C, unless otherwise stated, and are... - Page 14 (Tested in accordance with IEC-60068-2-64. Nonoperating test profile exceeds the requirements of MIL-PRF-28800F, Class 3.) Clean the NI PXIe-8383mc with a soft nonmetallic brush. Make sure that Caution the device is completely dry and free from contaminants before returning it to service.
