SCXI-1351 One-Slot Cable Extender
The SCXI-1351 cable extender is a miniature SCXI-1340 cable assembly.
Instead of connecting to an MIO board 1 m away, the SCXI-1351 female
rear connector connects to the male breakout connector of a module that
must be in the rear connector space of the slot to the left. The SCXI-1351
has a female mounting bracket connector that mates with the rear signal
connector of a module, and also has a male breakout connector on the
ribbon cable for connecting to a feedthrough panel or more cable extenders.
SCXI-1351 Installation
Follow these steps to install the SCXI-1351:
1. Make sure that the computer and the SCXI chassis are turned off.
2. Install the SCXI module in the chassis.
3. Connect the rear connector of the cable extender to the breakout
connector in the adjacent slot. This attachment is similar to Step 3 in
the
SCXI-1180 Installation section, as shown in Figure E-2.
4. Plug the mounting bracket connector to the module rear signal
connector. Make sure the alignment tab on the bracket enters the upper
board guide of the chassis.
5. Screw the mounting bracket to the threaded strips in the rear of the
chassis.
Check the installation.
SCXI-1350 Multichassis Adapter
You use the SCXI-1350 multichassis adapter to connect an additional
SCXI-1001 chassis to the MIO-16 board. Using several SCXI-1350s, you
can connect up to eight chassis to a single MIO board. The SCXI-1350
consists of a multichassis adapter board. You will also need a ribbon cable
for each chassis-to-chassis connection, as well as a ribbon cable to connect
the MIO board to the first chassis.
Note Use 0.5 m ribbon cable when connecting multiple chassis together to minimize cable
length and maintain signal integrity. You can use a 1 m cable to connect the MIO board to
the first chassis.
