Got a problem today. I have a PXI1042Q chassis running to a PC
The chassis had a slot free and I added another PXI5922 and the PC stall at the bios splash screen 😞
More into details:
The PC is a DELL Optiplex GX620 running XP (current update) with BIOS Rev. A07
LabVIEW 2011 full Dev as august 2011 distribution
PXI chassis 1042Q filled with:
1: 8360 (1.0.2.0)
2: 6652
3: 5124
4: 5900
5: 5922
6: (5922)
7: 5422
8: 6251
Slot6 free, no problem
Add another 5922 in slot 6 , system doesn't boot and stall at the BIOS start splash screen
Free slot6: no problem
Pull out slot5 5922, enter slot6 5922: no problem (system found new card,installs driver..., selftest OK)
Reinstall slot5 5922: no Bootup
Pull out Slot6 5922: no problem
Before I start shuffling the cards (well some of them 😉 ) any ideas someone (at NI) ?
Or might there a DMA/PCIchannel/Interupt limit?
(I just want to avoid wild card swapping ... )

Hi,
can you install the new BIOS-version A11 and try again?

Updated the BIOS... no change 😞
I pulled out the 5900 : not booting
pulled out the 5124 : is booting
swapped 5900 with 5124: not booting
seems that I have no chance to run three scope cards in this setup 😞

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 detail before installing the software.
