I have inherited from the previous engineer a new 1073 chassis and a 8840 controller. When I place the controller on the left side of the chassis and power up the chassis I get no boot on the controller.
With the chassis plugged in and switched off I see one green led on the backplane on the right had side. Same condition with the controller plugged in I see ~ 10 green led on top of the controller with the front most one blinking.
When the chassis is turned on I see 5 green led on the left side of the chassis behind the controller and the fan activates. There is no activity from the controller and no display output.
I note that the backplane only has the top two connectors and the controller has 4 connectors, Is this the issue?
Do I have failing units or did the previous guy order incompatible stuff?
Solved! Go to Solution.

PXIe-1073 is a MXI chassis. It does not have a controller slot. It has an MXI connector at the back of the chassis. You should not remove the slot fillet and insert a controller into slot 1.
