Chapter 1 Introduction

Larger MXI-Express Systems

Each NI PCIe-8362 has two MXI-Express connectors. One NI PCIe-8362

may be connected to two different NwI PXI-8360 cards in separate

PXI/CompactPCI chassis. If multiple PCI Express slots are available in

the host PC, additional PXI chassis can be connected by installing an

NI PCIe-836x in any available PCI Express slot.

Figure 1-2 shows how you can use MXI-Express cards to connect multiple

expansion chassis to a PC in a star topology. The star topology is the only

supported topology due to the point-to-point nature of PCI Express.
