To connect the multichassis system, you must use one SCXI-1346 multichassis adapter for every
chassis in the chain except the chassis furthest from the DAQ communicating device. The last
chassis uses the SCXI-1349 cable adapter.
1.
Identify the appropriate SCXI module to connect to the cable adapter. Refer to step 1 of the
previous
section to determine the appropriate module.
2.
Insert the 50-pin female connection on the rear of the cable adapter into the 50-pin male
connector on the rear of the appropriate SCXI module.
3.
Fasten the adapter to the rear of the SCXI chassis with the screws provided with the
SCXI-1346.
4.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each SCXI chassis in the system, excluding the last SCXI
chassis in the chain.

5.
Install the SCXI-1349 cable adapter into the last SCXI chassis in the chain. Refer to step 1
of the previous
Single-Chassis System
section for instructions on installing the SCXI-1349.
Step 8. Connect the Modules to the DAQ Device
Single-Chassis System
If you installed modules in a PXI/SCXI combination chassis, the PXI backplane of the chassis
connects the modules and DAQ device.
If you are using an SCXI chassis, complete the following steps:
1.
Connect one end of the 68-pin shielded cable to the SCXI-1349.
2.
Connect the other end of the cable to the DAQ device. For M Series devices, connect the
cable to connector 0.
If you are running modules in parallel mode, repeat the steps for each module and DAQ device
pair.
