Power on the host PC.
Connected chassis that are controlled by a PXIe-8381 will automatically power on. The PXIe-8381 has a built-in feature that powers on/off the chassis that it is controlling when the host system is powered on/off. This feature can be avoided by manually powering on the downstream chassis prior to the host system.
