I have a NI PXIe-1071 chassis with a NI PXIe-8360 controller and a EC card. The chassis also has a NI PXIe-2596 100 relay switch.
The power and link light are both green.
MAX does not "see" any PXI instruments.
I have installed NI Switch 4.4 and PXI platform services 3.0.4
Can anybody tell me what I am missing?

To better help you solve this issue; I had some of questions and wanted to confirm a couple of things.
In the future you may find it easier to get a response if you post a question like this on the PXI Hardware Board

1. I have not installed the DAQmx drivers but I am downloading version 9.6 now. It should be about 30 minutes before it is completely installed.
2.It does not see the chassis.
3. I have started the PXI chassis before starting the computer.
4. It has never seen the chassis. This is the first time I have used PXI or PXIe.
I am thinking that Number 1 is the piece of the puzzle that is missing. I will let you know how it goes.
BTW -- Thanks for answering.

How you are connecting the PXI through a network or have connected directly to the PC?. Make sure the cable is correct.

Thanks for the help. I needed DAQmx installed. Now I can see the chassis and control the switch.
