The SCXI-1346 covers the rear connector of two modules. When viewing the chassis from the rear, the

module to the right of the module directly connected to the SCXI-1346 cannot have an external cable

inserted into its rear 50-pin connector.

SCXI-1000 chassis through revision D do not have address jumpers or switches and respond to any

address, but you cannot use them in multichassis systems. Revision E chassis use jumpers on Slot 0 for

chassis addressing. Revision F and later chassis use a DIP switch for chassis addressing.

SCXI-1000DC chassis through revision C do not have address jumpers or switches and respond to any

address, but you cannot use them in multichassis systems. Revision D and later chassis use jumpers on

Slot 0 for chassis addressing.

SCXI-1001 chassis through revision D use jumpers on Slot 0 for chassis addressing. Revision E and later

chassis use a DIP switch for chassis addressing.

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 Single-Chassis System 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.
