The National Instruments PXI-1010 combines an 8-slot PXI backplane and a 4-slot SCXI backplane in one chassis. PXI slot 8 provides the interface to the SCXI backplane.
Core content remains expanded and crawlable.
The PXI-1010 is a combination chassis with separate PXI and SCXI backplanes integrated into one enclosure. Its 8-slot PXI section and 4-slot SCXI section distinguish it from a PXI-only chassis.
NI's archived configuration guide identifies PXI slot 8 as the SCXI backplane interface. For legacy MAX configurations, the controller and chassis must be identified correctly so that MAX saves the appropriate PXISYS.INI file; the SCXI portion is then configured separately.

PXI slot 8 is the SCXI backplane interface. NI's archived MAX guide instructs users configuring the SCXI portion to install a PXI DAQ device in the rightmost PXI slot.
Yes. NI's archived procedure directs users to create the combination chassis under Devices and Interfaces using the applicable NI-DAQmx SCXI Chassis or Traditional NI-DAQ Device entry, then complete SCXI configuration.
