With MXI-3 and several chassis connected in series (daisy chain
configuration), you were required to power-on the chassis in order starting
with the chassis at the end of the chain and move towards the host
controller. Now with MXI-Express, multiple chassis are connected in
parallel and can be powered on in any order, except that you need to ensure
that the last component powered on is the host PC.
For more details, refer to the Powering Up the MXI-Express System section
of Chapter 2, Hardware Installation.
