Currently I have a setup with a Dell Optiplex 7010 (i7 desktop PC), a PXIe 8361 MXI controller and PXI-1033 rack. I have connected the PXIe card into the X1 PCI slot (the smallest).
No problems whatsoever, setup has been running for over a year now.
However we have just received the parts for our second setup. This involves the same PXIe card, PXI-1033 rack but a new generation PC (in this case, a Dell Optiplex 7020).
Did the same steps as on our first setup, but this time I get problems where the PC does not boot into Windows with the PXI rack turned on.
When I turn the PXI rack on after Windows has booted, I get a PCI-X bridge controller in Device Manager, but this does not work OK.
The problem is reported as Code 12, not enough resources.
I have tried numerous things to resolve this, including the NI BIOS compatibility software, driver updates, reinstall of the complete system etcetera.
Eventually I got desperate, and noticed the small PCI (X1) also fits in the large PCI slot (X16).
Figuring that when a connector fits, it won't break; I gave this a shot.
Result: My PXI rack is detected, including all PXI cards!
Hope this helps you!
