• If the Chassis is operating via a MXIe connection to a host PC, install the BIOS Compatibility software .
  • Before creating any changes in the BIOS or installing the BIOS Compatibility software, make a backup or restore point for your computer.
  • Before or after installing the BIOS Compatibility Software, set the DIP switch 1 of your MXI Card to the ON position. Do not set any other switch to the ON position.
• Try changing PCI/PCIe slots inside the computer.
• Try changing the card to a different slot in the PXI chassis.
