Cabling
The NI ExpressCard MXI interface uses the same cable as MXI-Express
and MXI-Express for PXI Express. The cables have no polarity, so either
end may be connected to either board.
Caution Do not remove the cable after the system is powered on. Doing so can hang
or cause errors in applications communicating with devices behind NI ExpressCard MXI.
If a cable becomes unplugged, plug it back into the system.
