4. Connect another ribbon cable to the chassis extender connector in the middle of the
SCXI-1350.
5. Plug the SCXI-1350 into the back of the SCXI module in the first chassis so that the module
rear connector mates with the front connector on the SCXI-1350. When you are connecting
to an SCXI-1163, be sure to set the jumpers for either a DIO-type or an MIO-type board as
appropriate.
6. Screw the rear panel to the threaded strips in the rear of the chassis.
7. Connect the loose end of the ribbon cable from Step 4 into the rear connector of the second
SCXI-1350 and install the adapter board.

connector of the SCXI-1350 adapter board in the last chassis.
