Cabling
Connect the MXI-Express cable to both MXI-Express cards. The cables
have no polarity, so either end may be connected to either card.
Caution Do not remove the cable after the system is powered on. Doing so can hang
or cause errors in applications communicating with devices behind MXI-Express. If a
cable becomes unplugged, plug it back into the system.
Note For more information about cables, refer to the MXI-Express Cable Options section
of Chapter 3, Hardware Overview.
