My PC doesn't boot with my MXI-3 Interface connected to my PXI-System.

Hi,

i had the same issue. I fix it by installing MXI-Express BIOS Compatibility Software 1.4.1 and set the PCIE card on Mode 1

Read the Readme file for more details before installing the software.

Hi All, I,m fighting against the same problem.

What I have:

Chassis PXI 1000B

                  PXI-8330 inserted to 8th slot

                  PXI-6508 inserted to 7th slot

PCI-8330 in one PC PCI slot

I have tested these three different PC:

                   Thin client IGEL, Via processor 1Ghz with 1Gb RAM WinXPSP3

                    Fujitsu Scenic E600 Win2KSP4

                    PC with Asus M597A EVVO R2 mother board with AMD FX-8120-core  WinXPSP3

I start the PXI chassis first.

Start the PC, but it hangs in black screen and no booting. When I stop the PXI chassis it boots normally.

The LEDs whilst the PC doesn´t boots are.

PXI-8330  POWER: GREEN

                   RX: Ambar

                   LINK: OFF

                   TX:OFF

PCI-8330   POWER:GREEN

                    LINK:GREEN

                    RX: OFF

                    TX:OFF

I have installed the MXI-115 driver prior to install the PCi card on the PC

I have tested several things, change the PXI-8330 to another slot, start PXI chassis with PXI-8330 alone, update the Bios of the third PC, change the PCI-8330 to anothe slot

Please can somebody help me?

To administrator, I have post the same message in another thread, so please remove conveniently

Thanks¡

did you tried what i did ?

[Robert__R]

The PXI-8330 needs to be in slot 1 for it to work with the PCI-8330. 

[Redzouz]

that doesn't matter... did you installed and tried the Compatibility Software  ?

[Robert__R]

The compatibility software doesn't support MXI-3.  It's only for newer generations.

.Hi Guys, thanks for your ideas

I have tried also with the PXI-8330 in slot1

The result is the same, the pc doesn,t start

[Robert__R]

With the PXI-8330 in slot 1 you should be getting green link and power LEDs.  If not then you've got a hardware problem.  I couldn't tell before if your LEDs were wrong because the PXI card wasn't in the controller slot.

I don't know whether it's one of the cards or the cable, though.  Do you have any other copies of the hardware (PXI, PCI, cable) to swap with for debugging?

Hi Robert, thaks for your comments

I have tested with the PXI-8330 in the slot1. The result is the same.

The thing is, if I have a hardware problem, which is the faulty card?. the PXI-8330 which has not the LINK LED in green?

Unfortunately I don´t have another hardware to do a check

Best Regards

Hi , I have tested the cable with a Fluke, not all of the pins give me continuity

The pin s are showing continuity are;  1, 3, 6, 8
