PXIe-8370 in the controller slot of a PXI Express chassis, as shown in the following figure.

Larger MXI-Express x4 Systems
The PCIe-8372 has two MXI-Express x4 connectors, allowing one PCIe-8372 to host two
different PXIe-8370 cards in separate PXI Express or CompactPCI Express chassis. If multiple
PCI Express slots are available in the host PC, you can connect additional PXI Express chassis
by installing an additional PCIe-8371/8372 in any available PCI Express slot.
