Will a National Instruments PCI Board Work in a PCI-X Bus?Hardware: GPIB>>ASICs/OEM Products
Problem: Will a National Instruments PCI Board Work in a PCI-X Bus? Solution: Currently, National Instruments is in the process of converting their measurement devices to the Universal PCI standard. National Instruments PCI-X compatible boards are keyed to fit into both the standard 5v slot and the PCI-X 3.3v slot. This is visible on the PCI card itself. Cards with one notch in the PCI connector are for 5v slots only (not PCI-X compatible); cards with two notches can work in both the 5v and 3.3v slot (PCI-X compatible). Some of the most recent revisions of the boards are already compliant with the PCI 2.3 standard, but older board revisions are not compliant with the new standard and are not guaranteed to work in a PCI-X bus. Any board that is PCI 2.3 compliant will function properly in a PCI-X bus. The following is a list of devices whose most recent revisions are currently PCI 2.3 compliant:
