Connecting One or More NI 9155 Chassis to the MXI- Express Host System or a Target Complete the following steps to connect one or more NI 9155 chassis to a MXI-Express host system or a target. Make sure the MXI-Express host system is set up and configured as described in the MXI-Express (x1) Series User Manual.
Use a MXI-Express (x1) cable to connect the MXI-Express host system to the Upstream port of the first NI 9155 in the chain. Use a MXI-Express (x1) cable to connect the Downstream port of the first NI 9155 to the Upstream port of the next NI 9155 in the chain.
