Follow these steps to install the PXI MXI-3 in your PXI or CompactPCI
chassis.
1. Turn off your PXI or CompactPCI chassis, but leave it plugged in while
installing the PXI MXI-3 card. The power cord grounds the chassis and
protects it from electrical damage while you install the module.

For use in secondary PXI busChoose the controller slot (Slot 1)
of your chassis. This slot must support bus arbitration and bus
mastering. The secondary PXI MXI-3 can operate only in such
aslot.
For use in primary PXI busChoose any unused PXI or
CompactPCI 5 V peripheral slot except Slot 1. (Slot 1 is reserved
for the system controller.)
Warning
To protect both yourself and the chassis from electrical hazards, leave the chassis
off until you finish installing the PXI MXI-3 card.
