VXI-MXI-2 Configuration

and Installation

This chapter contains the instructions to configure and install the

VXI-MXI-2 module. This chapter applies only if you ordered the

VXI MXI-2 kit. If you ordered the VME MXI-2 kit, skip this chapter

and refer to Chapter 4, VME-MXI-2 Configuration and Installation.

Caution Electrostatic discharge can damage several components on your VXI-MXI-2

module. To avoid such damage in handling the module, touch the antistatic plastic package

to a metal part of your VXI chassis before removing the VXI-MXI-2 from the package.

Configure the VXI-MXI-2

This section describes how to configure the following options on the

VXI-MXI-2:

• VXIbus logical address

• VXIbus Slot 0/Non-Slot 0

• VXIbus local bus

• VXIbus CLK10 routing

• Trigger input termination

• MXIbus termination

• Configuration EEPROM

• Onboard DRAM

Note If you have only one VXI chassis in your system, you should leave the VXI-MXI-2

at Logical Address 1 and install it into Slot 0. To install the VXI-MXI-2, refer to the Install

the VXI-MXI-2 section.

Figure 3-1 shows the VXI-MXI-2 as it would appear when facing the right

side cover. The drawing shows the location and factory-default settings of

most of the configuration switches and jumpers on the module. Notice that

switch S6 is accessible only by removing the front cover.
