Note PowerDAQ PDXI-DIO boards utilize advantages of
the PXI bus when installed into the PXI chassis.
However they may be used in standard Compact PCI
chassis also, but all PXI-related functions will be

2. Remove the blank bracket from the slot.
3. If you are intending to use ESSI and/or counter timers
and/or external clocking, connect PDXI-DIO-CBL-37 to

the hole in the bracket and screw the bracket back to
