Hello,
My PXI system consists of PXI-1045, PXI-8360 and five NI PXI intruments (5152, 4065, 6552, 2532, 5404). I was working with this system without problems for a long time. However, the motherboard of my PC had a specific problem with the ethernet connenction and I decided to replace the motherboard with a new one (same model). After the replacement (the pc finally was fully functional), I tried to power on the PXI chassis, but I couldn't "see" any module in PXI chassism, using the MAX. I must tell thatI didn't change the hard disk of the pc, or anything else just the motherboard.After some experiments, I finally fix the probrem with the following solution: First I unplugged all the modules from PXI chassis. After that, I plugged one module and I reboot the pc. After that I plugged the second one module and I reboot the pc. And so on...
This was the only solution that I found in order to indentify all the modules of the PXI chassis.
My question is why happend this thing? Where are the PXI modules' adresses stored? Also, is the procedure I used correct, or I had to do something else in order to make the system work?

Hello George,
you might want to consider posting this question in a more hardware based forum - the problem does not seem to be related to CVI.
Good luck
