Do NOT power up the VXI card cage and the VXI Pentium
Controller until you make all connections to the peripherals, as
explained in this section.
Use extreme caution when connecting peripheral cables to the
controller. The I/O base board of the VXI Pentium Controller
provides power for peripheral devices through different pins.
Making incorrect connections can damage the board and may
damage the peripheral device being connected.

peripherals, including a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Before you power
up the controller, you must connect the peripherals as explained in the
following list. Note that you can connect the peripherals in any order.
